Breaking News: Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell Split After 4 Years – What Led to the Breakup?
Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, who met on Season 25 of “The Bachelor” in 2020, have ended their four-year relationship. James announced the split on January 16, 2025, via an Instagram post, expressing a desire for strength and peace as they part ways.
The couple’s relationship faced challenges, including a brief separation in early 2021 following the emergence of past photos of Kirkconnell attending an Antebellum-themed party. They reconciled in the summer of 2021 and had been together since.
In December 2024, Kirkconnell shared a heartfelt birthday message for James on Instagram, referring to him as her “best friend” and “teammate.”
