Rachael Kirkconnell Seemingly Hints She Was ‘Blindsided’ by Matt James Breakup

Rachael Kirkconnell seemingly hinted that she was ‘blindsided’ by her breakup from Matt James just hours after the Bachelor alum publicly announced their split.

Just hours after Matt, 33, announced that he and Rachael, 28, called it quits on Thursday, January 16, several fans rushed to the last Instagram post she shared in December 2024 to weigh in on the situation. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding,” he wrote alongside a photo of them meeting during their time on The Bachelor. They briefly split when Rachael faced backlash amid her racism scandal, which began when insensitive images circulated online of her attending an Old South antebellum-themed fraternity party when she was in college.
