Currently, Bachelor Nation is abuzz with an unexpected turn of events that steers away from Grant Ellis’ current season of The Bachelor, airing this week on the 2025 TV schedule. In a surprising development (apparently catching even Rachael Kirkconnell off guard), Season 25 star Matt James announced his split from the woman he had been dating for four years, whom he met during his contentious season of ABC’s dating show. Two weeks after his initial announcement, Kirkconnell has resurfaced on Instagram, only to be inundated with messages of support from former contestants.
Rachael Kirkconnell broke her silence this week on the argument that led to the end of her and Matt James’ relationship while they were vacationing in Japan. On January 29, she shared several photos from the trip, with assurances that the latest drama has not sullied her opinion of her favorite travel spot. Kirkconnell posted to Instagram:

It’s no surprise that Matt James isn’t seen in any of the photos from the post; we can speculate that he was the photographer for the ones featuring her. The latest Bachelorette, Jenn Tran (who experienced a heartbreaking breakup during her season finale in September), expressed heartwarming sentiments towards The Bachelor Season 25 winner.
I’m incredibly proud of you! Let all the emotions you wish to experience wash over you. You’re about to radiate brilliance, for you are the very essence of a shining sun, and nothing can dull your luminous glow 🌞💫🌟❤️❤️❤️.
This Season 21 star of “The Bachelorette” was among numerous cast members from the dating series who voiced their support for Rachael Kirkconnell amidst this challenging period. Fellow contestants from Matt James’ season, several ex-“Bachelorettes”, and other prominent figures commended her for her open discussion on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and her optimistic approach in re-emerging on social media. Remarks also praised:
- Beautiful inside and out 💗 loved how vulnerable you were on the podcast & can’t wait to continue and watch you shine ✨ you got this – Daisy Kent
- Love you my shining star ⭐️💝💝💝 – Kit Keenan
- Atta girl!!! 🙌🔥❤️ – Katie Thurston

This excludes the well-wishes from participants of The Bachelor franchise, among them were Jessica Girod, Kaity Biggar, Hannah Godwin, Susie Evans, and Jade Roper, who expressed their support using emojis.
Despite some of the dramas that occasionally unfold among the competitors, it’s clear they genuinely care for one another, as their actions demonstrate.
Matt James has been silent in public discussions over the past couple of weeks, leaving us uncertain if he plans to address Rachael Kirkconnell’s perspective or explain the apparent breakup through any interviews. For now, we can follow Grant Ellis’ storyline as it unfolds.
On Mondays at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, you can catch new episodes of “The Bachelor” on ABC. If you’re not available at that time, don’t worry! With a Hulu subscription, you can stream it the next day. For those who can’t wait to find out the final outcome, here’s a sneak peek at the spoiler for Grant Ellis’ season winner.
