Rachael Kirkconnell & Matt James
Standing: Cut up
Within the years since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell left his 2021 season collectively (then briefly cut up and ultimately reunited), they’ve confronted many a breakup rumor.
“I feel all people must take a break from social media,” the previous Bachelor exclusively told E! News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins occasion. “Our lives are lived a lot in entrance of our telephones that when anyone steps out of being on their telephone 24/7, folks suppose it is the top of the world.”
In actual fact, Matt mentioned marriage stays the end-game for the pair.
“I feel the advantage of our relationship is we go at our personal tempo,” the First Impressions: Off Display Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Household, and Forgiveness writer told E! News in May 2022. “And you have seen with different {couples}—they power the engagement and so they’re not collectively anymore. So, I feel what we bought is a working recipe and we’re gonna get there.”
However lower than three years later, Matt introduced he and Rachael cut up.
“Father God, give Rachael and I energy to fix our damaged hearts,” the truth star wrote on Instagram Jan. 16, 2025 alongside a throwback picture of them on The Bachelor. “Give us a peace about this determination to finish our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Bathe our family and friends with kindness and like to consolation us. And remind us that our Pleasure comes from you, Lord.”
