In approximately seven days, Grant Ellis will make his first appearance on the 2025 TV lineup as the second Black lead in “The Bachelor.” However, over the past week, viewers’ interest has predominantly been directed towards the show’s current lead, Matt James. A surprising announcement by James revealed that he had parted ways with Rachael Kirkconnell, his partner whom he met on Season 25 of ABC’s dating program four years ago. Despite the breakup appearing sudden, reports suggest it was a long-standing issue, and fans have been scrutinizing Kirkconnell’s social media posts in search of explanations for their separation.
Source Discloses What Allegedly Led To Matt And Rachael’s Split
Regarding the controversy surrounding Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell on “The Bachelor,” along with their numerous shared meals and travels posted on social media, fans had minimal reasons to suspect issues in their relationship. In fact, the unexpected breakup left fans speculating if it was a hoax or if James’ account had been compromised. However, according to an insider from US Weekly, there were deeper issues happening behind the scenes than we initially perceived. They stated that there was more going on than what met the eye.
The separation might appear sudden, but it’s been a gradual process that has been unfolding for some time now. It was an event that was long overdue. Matt found it difficult to fully commit to her… Rachel yearned for marriage and a settled life, and they were not aligned in their desires. She felt like she was stuck in limbo, with him never providing what she sought.
Rachael Kirkconnell’s sister posted a comment on a TikTok video about the breakup, suggesting that Matt James had ended their relationship only three hours prior to his Instagram announcement. Fascinating details are emerging from Kirkconnell’s social media posts, leading fans to speculate about possible hidden meanings.
Is Rachael Kirkconnell Subtlely Revealing What Happened With Matt James?
Rachael Kirkconnell’s last post on Instagram is from December — a birthday tribute to the former Bachelor — but within the comments of that post there seems to be a clue regarding the events surrounding the breakup. Kirkconnell “liked” a comment from mac_hodgdon that read:
As I ponder over it, I’m becoming increasingly convinced that he took her off guard with what happened. Allow her some space and patience to react when she’s ready.
According to a source, it was actually the swiftness of Matt James’ public declaration, rather than the split itself, that took Rachel Kirkconnell by surprise in US Weekly’s report.
Some spectators are speculating if infidelity might be a factor, following rumors that a contestant on The Bachelor may have reposted TikTok videos hinting at unfaithfulness. One video depicts a woman concealing herself behind the door of her friend’s boyfriend’s home, waiting to ambush him upon his arrival. Another clip references Sex and the City, featuring Carrie expressing her longing for Aidan only for Aidan to retaliate by cheating on her with Mr. Big in response.
Without Matt James or Rachael Kirkconnell offering much insight into their breakup, fans are left guessing about the reasons behind the end of their four-year relationship. As we await an official explanation, viewers can instead tune in to Grant Ellis’ journey beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, January 27, airing on ABC and available for streaming the following day with a Hulu subscription.
