Rachael Kirkconnell's Heartbreaking Breakup Details with Matt James!

Rachael Kirkconnell is embracing whatever life throws her way.

Following an open conversation about her surprising breakup with ex Matt James in an interview on Call Her Daddy, hosted by Alex Cooper, the former Bachelor Nation contestant expressed a touching sentiment to her well-wishers.

Rachael expressed gratitude to her followers via an Instagram Story post, saying ‘Thank you for your love and support.’ She added that things feel frightening and disheartening at the moment, but she trusts that everything unfolds as it should, and believes it will turn out all right.

To be completely honest, I’m embracing my feelings as I navigate through the end of a four-year relationship with Matt, which he publicly declared over on January 16th.

She went on, expressing gratitude for being able to experience emotions, even when they cause pain. To her, life is a mix of chaos and beauty, and she’s grateful for its rollercoaster of highs and lows.

In a revealing conversation on Call Her Daddy, Rachel shared many aspects of their separation, mentioning that the ex-Bachelor star’s announcement about their breakup was posted only a few hours after he ended the relationship and just before Rachel’s flight from Tokyo was scheduled to depart.

She expressed her astonishment during the Jan. 28 podcast episode, saying, “I couldn’t believe it when I went to the airport.” In her words, “What on earth is going on?” was her reaction as they were about to depart, only for her phone to explode with messages at that moment. She was panicking because she had just been dumped and now, within a few hours, everyone around the world could see it.

Rachael shared that she was already quite anxious about the breakup and how to handle it in a public setting. She’s since informed Matt of her feelings on the matter.

She mentioned later on that they had a conversation, and I can confirm he now admits that it was indeed an incorrect choice he made.

Prior to their sudden split following four years of dating, Rachael Kirkconnell disclosed in her January 28 interview on Call Her Daddy that she and Matt James had indeed discussed the prospect of getting engaged and starting a family together in the future.

In our recent conversation, he hinted at the idea of us exploring the next step in our relationship – saving and selecting engagement rings. To be honest, this suggestion from him was significant, and it reassured me that he’s genuinely invested in our future together. It took courage for him to bring up such a sensitive topic initially, but as our bond deepened, he became more comfortable discussing it. This gradual ease in conversation felt like a promising sign of our compatibility.

While in Tokyo, it was noted that the couple had minor disputes arising from Rachel feeling swamped with deciding dining spots and locations for Matt’s video creation. These trivial conflicts eventually escalated into larger problems they faced together.

At that moment, we found ourselves in a disagreement, much like strolling on the street, and as a result, we skipped our lunch. We returned to the hotel, which led to a more extensive conversation. To put it mildly, we were somewhat agitated with each other. However, being back at the hotel seemed to bring out our irritation. He felt I was wrong, while I thought he was. In essence, he expressed feelings that had been building up over time, and I’m not exactly sure what those feelings are.

Rachael mentioned that Matt expressed concern about certain characteristics of mine that he feels might be problematic in a spouse at the end of the day.

As the day ended, she remembered that there were certain aspects where our paths didn’t align. It turned out that he had come to understand that by this stage in our relationship, he should be eager to propose and ready for marriage. However, he admitted that he wasn’t feeling ready yet or perhaps never would feel ready to propose to me. He even expressed doubts about his own future as my husband.

He mentioned that, in his view, ‘Perhaps he might reach that point someday, but he doesn’t feel prepared at the moment.’ In response, I expressed my thoughts by saying, ‘To be honest, after four years together, I expect someone to know or feel ready. If he isn’t, then it’s concerning. If our relationship continues with this feeling of unpreparedness after such a lengthy time, it might not be the best fit since he knows me better than anyone.’

According to the Bachelor Nation star, it was while she was getting ready to fly from Tokyo that she learned through Matt’s Instagram post about their breakup being made public. Unfortunately, she didn’t have Wi-Fi access for the next twelve hours after this revelation.

She mentioned, “I’m about to board a flight when my phone starts ringing madly, it’s one of my closest friends, ‘Rach,’ with lots of question marks. As soon as I saw that, I thought, ‘Wow, how does she know?’ Then she texts me again, ‘I saw Matt’s post. Is this really happening?’ That’s when I discovered he had posted something. Just as the plane was taking off, I saw his post, and from then on, I wouldn’t have any service or connection for the next twelve hours.

She went on to express her distress, explaining that she’s overwhelmed since her relationship ended just a short while ago and it’s now public knowledge. She’s still struggling to comprehend the situation, and finding out that everyone is aware of it makes it all seem even more surreal to her, leaving her feeling completely shocked and unable to fully process it at the moment.

Rachael found it intriguing that she “still wanted to understand” the precise motivation for Matt’s social media post. She also mentioned that his action “effectively sealed the deal,” or in simpler terms, “it was the final straw.

She mentioned later on that they had talked, and I can confirm he now agrees it was a wrong choice.

She made it clear in her conversation on “Call Her Daddy” that she believes their relationship has ended due to his comments such as, “I don’t think you’re my person. I don’t see us getting married.” She explained that his handling of the situation and subsequent post left her feeling disrespected, and despite her willingness to forgive him, she doesn’t believe she can continue being with someone who has treated her in this way.

She said, “This situation requires you to assert yourself, even when you’d rather not. A part of me yearns for things to go back to how they were before, but that’s not an option. Given the circumstances, I believe it’s best for me to stand up for myself and be independent.
