Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell no longer talk to each other in the aftermath of their split.
‘The Bachelor’: Matt James And Rachael Kirkconnell No Longer Speak To Each Other
The duo had reportedly been considering a reconciliation, but it seems Matt was only intent on letting Rachael down gently. And Matt’s meeting with another woman [Grace] convinced Rachael to move on. A source said: “Rachael and Matt are on non-speaking terms after she learned about him lying about being in communication with another girl.
“He has not reached out to her to make amends or apologize. As far as she’s concerned, what they had is in the past now.” Who could blame Rachael? For all the criticism coming her way, Matt has hardly covered himself in glory. Not only did he lead Rachael on, but his treatment towards Michelle Young towards the latter end of the show was also deplorable.
Michelle was very vocal about how Matt had failed to give her any closure, and instead, he dumped her rather quickly for Rachael. To make matters worse, Grace was also shocked that Matt was meeting up with Rachael. After all, she was under the impression that she and Matt were getting close.
Rather than Matt suggesting that Rachael educate herself over racial issues, perhaps Matt could take his own advice and focus on improving his approach to dating. This would explain why Rachael was left reeling when the break up became clear. A source had said: “Rachael is very emotional right now because she was very hopeful that things were going to work out. She’s still trying to process this.”
But as for Rachael’s mood, it has improved since then. She has taken the opportunity to re-evaluate and ask herself what she wants from her life. The answer has been to recover fully before jumping into another relationship.
An insider revealed: “She’s working on her mental health and getting into a much better headspace. She’s focusing on her own antiracism work and working on herself right now. She’s not looking to jump into the dating field any time soon.” Looking back, it was wise that the duo parted ways. There was simply too much water under the bridge.
