Omg, Matt and Rachael from The Bachelor have just split and our hearts are broken
It’s the end of an era for Matt and Rachael on The Bachelor. They met on the show back in 2020, but five years on, they’ve decided to end their relationship and call off their engagement.
The Bachelor‘s Matt James won the nation over when he had more than 20 women lining up for a rose. He seemed to have his happily ever after, but his relationship with Rachael is now over.
Matt and Rachael have just broken up
Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell were supposed to be endgame, but he’s just announced that they’ve decided to break up. He’s turned to his Christian faith to help him through the split.
They bought a $1.4 million house together in Florida in November 2023, but just over a year later, Matt has said their hearts are “broken” and asked to “give them peace about this decision.”
From the moment they met, they were in awe of each other. As soon as Rachael stepped out of the car when they met, he said, “She’s beautiful, articulate, she’s sexy and she’s being open and vulnerable.”
They first met on The Bachelor
Matt and Rachael first met on The Bachelor in 2020. They actually ended their relationship briefly after the show, because he couldn’t deal with a huge photo controversy involving Rachael.
Rachael had previously apologized for her ignorance and her actions after the photos started making the rounds, and she got the chance to apologize in person during the After the Final Rose special.
The two reconciled in April 2021 and have been together ever since, after Matt ended up choosing Rachael as his winner. They were one of a few Bachelor couples still together, until now…
Matt and Rachael would often go out to try different food together, and just six months ago, were happily answering a Q&A about their relationship on his YouTube channel.
Rachael said their relationship was “once in a lifetime” while Matt described it as full of “adventure, food and family.” She also said she “loves how close Matt is with his mom and how he has female friendships.”
