Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, who met on Season 25 of “The Bachelor,” have announced their breakup after four years together. James shared the news on Instagram, expressing a desire for strength and peace as they part ways. He also requested kindness and love from their friends and family during this time.

The couple’s relationship faced challenges in the past, notably when photos of an Antebellum-themed party attended by Kirkconnell resurfaced, leading to a brief separation. They reconciled and continued their relationship until now.

Fans were taken aback by the split, especially since James had shared moments from a romantic trip to London with Kirkconnell just hours before the announcement.
