Rachael Kirkconnell Hilariously Shades Matt James In ‘Savage’ New Ad For… Paper Towels?

by

Regarding the split-ups on “The Bachelor”, Matt James has maintained a relatively amicable stance since revealing his breakup with Rachael Kirkconnell, which lasted four years. After sharing her perspective during an episode of “Call Her Daddy”, Kirkconnell appears to be taking steps to keep things uncomplicated as well. Notably, the winner of “The Bachelor” Season 25 has teamed up with Brawny paper towels for a new advertisement, and fans are appreciative of the playful jabs at her former partner that this partnership seems to imply.

A whole month has passed since Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s breakup created quite a stir in Bachelor Nation, but despite the new season of The Bachelor airing according to the 2025 TV schedule, I must confess that my interest lies elsewhere now. Kirkconnell has caught my attention with her amusing new advertisement for paper towels she recently posted on Instagram. Take a look!

Rachael Kirkconnell’s partnership with the Brawny Man feels like an unexpected yet fitting match. The former Bachelor contestant doesn’t explicitly mention Matt James in the advertisement, but it’s clear that her subtle hints are aimed at those who have kept up with their post-breakup drama. Her emphasis on finding a dependable and reliable partner, one who can handle whatever life throws at them together, seems to be a not-so-veiled reference to Matt James.

Mentioning the stress of choosing a suitable dinner spot also hinted at the dynamics of their food blogger partnership, as Rachel Kirkconnell implied that the disagreement leading to their breakup stemmed from her feeling inadequate with her restaurant choice that particular night. Notably, the advertisement featuring pizza seemed to echo their final video together, which was posted just hours before Matt James reportedly announced their split to the public – a video where they were seen eating pizza.

Just like ladies from Bachelor Nation endorsed Rachael Kirkconnell following their breakup, previous Bachelorettes and others expressed support for the new advertisement by leaving positive comments.

Beyond assistance from her loved ones and companions, Rachael Kirkconnell has expressed that her playlists by Taylor Swift have been instrumental in helping her navigate through the conclusion of her relationship with Matt James. This pairing transpired on The Bachelor in 2021, but their journey was marred by a controversy surrounding race when pictures and social media posts from Kirkconnell’s past were rediscovered. The show’s host, Chris Harrison, ultimately departed from ABC following the criticism he received for justifying Kirkconnell’s participation at a fraternity party themed around plantations.

Instead of Wells Adams proposing Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell appear on “Bachelor in Paradise” for its 10th season this year, I’m more inclined towards the amusing wit displayed in that Brawny Man paper towel advertisement. The Brawny Man stands ready to handle any messes, so go ahead and share all the gossip!

Meanwhile, don’t forget to catch Grant Ellis’ quest for love in the latest episodes of “The Bachelor” every Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC. You can also stream it if you have a Hulu subscription.
