Rachael KirkConnell is not Back with Matt James.
In mid -January, Matt suddenly announced his split with Rachael. The division was clearly quiet very fresh.
So fresh, in fact, that Rachael seemed blind -sided of things that came to an end. And maybe from the message.
However, Rachael speaks to clean up some rumors – and lead to a wild reconciliation requirement.

No, Rachael KirkConnell and Matt James are not together again
Over the course of a week after Matt James’ unexpected collapse, fans thought they had seen him and Rachael KirkConnell.
If this had been a reconciliation it wouldn’t have been their first. Matt and Rachael broke down in 2021 after her scandal after they fell in love with The Bachelor Season 25. However, they were back together not so long after.
That’s not the case this time. Rachael confirmed just as much on January 26. She took to comments from one Deuxmoi Instagram post to write: “Hmm wasn’t me lol.”

This relaxed comment actually marks its first official comment on the collapse since Matt announced it back on January 16.
Before this came her only real communication in the form of “suffering” different comments from supportive fans.
That is, Rachael’s only comments on social media have been to confirm that she was not the person a random DM claimed was with Matt James in Kips Bay. The truth must be said there is no guarantee that Matt Was there either.

What does Rachael KirkConnell have to say about the collapse?
Monday, January 27, TMZ Caught up with Rachael at LAX. This photographer Ambush (we believe that loving, mostly) gave an important clarification.
First of all, Rachael emphasized that she is “protecting her peace” at the moment. She seemed to suggest that Bachelor Nation will eventually know the truth about why she and Matt are over.
She was also able to debunk an ugly rumor. Sometimes these sudden divisions happen because a partner gets caught cheating. But she clarified that adultery was not The guilty behind the collapse.

Does that mean Rachael and Matt will come back together one day?
It’s a no.
Rachael closed the door on every chance to unite with Matt and said, “Certainly not. Yes, we’re out. We are done. “

When do we know the whole story?
Nysic (it’s a nice word for nosy) fans may accept that we will never know the whole truth behind Rachael KirkConnell and Matt James’ collapse. At most we hear his side and her side and maybe some third -party opinions.
However, many hope that her Tuesday, January 28th performance on Call her father Podcast gives answers.
Or at least Rachael’s side. It will be much more than we know now.
