Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, who found love on Season 25 of The Bachelor, have announced their breakup after four years together.
James shared the news on Instagram, expressing his hope for strength and peace as they move forward separately.
He also asked for kindness and support from their friends and family during this period.
The couple’s relationship had its share of challenges, including a brief separation after resurfaced photos showed Kirkconnell at an Antebellum-themed party.
Despite this, they reconciled and continued their relationship until now.
Fans were surprised by the announcement, especially since James had posted highlights from a romantic trip to London with Kirkconnell just hours earlier.
As of now, Kirkconnell has not addressed the breakup publicly.
