Bachelor Breakup! Matt James & Rachael Kirkconnell Are OVER After 4 Years Together! 

Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell split

Out of all the people who have gotten together on The Bachelor franchise over the years, we did not expect this couple to ever break up (again)!

On Thursday morning, Matt James announced via a prayer on Instagram that he and Rachael Kirkconnell have ended their relationship after four years together! He wrote alongside a picture of their first meeting on his season of the ABC reality dating show:

“Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord

Ugh no! See the post (below):

Rachael hasn’t spoken about the breakup publicly yet, but her last Instagram post on December 5 was a sweet birthday tribute to Matt, where she gushed about how he was her “best friend,” “teammate,” and “the man that has my whole heart.” She even expressed how they would have “many more adventures” together! Meanwhile, Matt just posted a video of them enjoying pizza together in London HOURS before the breakup announcement! So what happened?!?! Take a look at the posts (below):

It is unknown what went wrong in their relationship. However, fans know their romance had some ups and downs! After Matt gave Rachael the final rose on Season 25, the couple split in March 2021 because her old antebellum plantation-themed party photos resurfaced online. Remember that massive racism controversy in Bachelor Nation? Yikes! They did not stay broken up for long, though! They reconciled a month later! And we all thought, after working through the tough time together, that Matt and Rachael were end game. But guess not. So sad…
