The Bachelorette announced the big move on Instagram.

Rachel Recchia went through many ups and downs during her time on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, but now she's making a new start in California.

The 26-year-old announced on Instagram that she moved to the Golden State with a couple of pictures of her lounging on the beach, already enjoying the sunny lifestyle.

Recchia captioned the post, "surprise i moved to california!!" 

But she wasn't done yet, posting one more photo from the shoot with the caption, "one more for the road."

It's safe to say that all of her friends were equally excited about the news, with DeAnna Stagliano welcoming her to California, saying, "Welcome to the beautiful & sunny weather….every day!"

Hannah Brown left a similar message, writing, "Welcome to the westside!! ☀️."

Other Bachelor Nation members Kaitlyn Bristowe, Deandra Kanu, and Katie Thurston all left positive comments on the post. 

It looks like Recchia is living with fellow Bachelor contestant Genevieve Parisi, who commented, "My roomie!! 🤍 I can’t wait to go through this next chapter with you."

But not everyone was focused on her big move, as many complimented Recchia on her bikini photos, with one person joking in the replies, "I’ve got sports illustrated on the line they want to talk."

After appearing on Season 26 of The Bachelor, Recchia was announced as the co-lead of the next The Bachelorette season alongside Gabby Windey.

At the end of her The Bachelorette season, Recchia ended up with Tino Franco, but it didn't even last past the end of the season's airing, as Franco cheated on Recchia, kissing another woman while they were together.

In the studio as the finale aired, Franco attempted to get back together with Recchia, saying, "We can make it through this. I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you," but she ended the relationship for good.

Now, Recchia's starting a new stage of her life in California, so who knows what's to come for the ex-Bachelorette.
