Taking the high road? Rachel Recchia and Zach Shallcross have both thrown shade since their split — but the former Bachelorette is now asking fans to give her ex a break.“Let’s all be mindful and extend a little bit of compassion and grace towards the leads of the show,” the 26-year-old pilot tweeted on Tuesday, February 21.Zach, also 26, referenced his romance with Rachel during the Monday, February 20, episode of the ABC series during his one-on-one date with Gabi Elnicki.“Last season, I thought that I knew someone and then I learned that I didn’t,” the sales rep said.This isn’t the first time Zach has brought up Rachel on season 27 of The Bachelor since its debut last month.

The twosome split after discovering compatibility issues — which they haven’t shared publicly — when the cameras turned off in the fantasy suites.“There was a lot of question marks and a lot of guessing.

And when it came down to last season with Rachel, a lot of stuff came to fruition and a lot of big question marks and surprises and that leads to shock,” Zach said on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in January after speaking about his and Rachel’s “lack of communication” on the premiere. “And for me, one thing that I pride myself on is the fact of having communication throughout [my time as the Bachelor].

So I even told all the women on night one, like, good or bad, please tell me how you’re feeling. Because I will. I know what I want out of this and I know what it takes to have that healthy relationship … communication.
