Rachael Kirkconnell, season 25 winner of The Bachelor, has been spotted spending time with partner Matt James on her first trip to Aspen, Colorado. Although she received the final rose in James’ season of The Bachelor, the couple ultimately broke up not long after, which was announced on the After the Final Rose special. They have since given their relationship a second chance and are not afraid to show their affection toward each other.
The couple split up after complications arose due to Kirkconnell's problematic past involving racially insensitive photos from 2018. On the After the Final Rose special, Matt revealed it was difficult for him to continue their relationship, as he felt that she wouldn’t understand him. Kirkconnell admitted that she had some learning to do in order for that to happen. About a month later, the couple announced that they were going to give their relationship another try. Since then, The Bachelor's James and Kirkconnell have been going strong, enjoying many trips and outings together, including some with his mother.
As reported by Us Weekly, the two escaped the New York heat for a getaway trip to Aspen. They were pictured enjoying wine in the garden, cuddling in a ski gondola and navigating their way through an intense rope course at a camp in Colorado. Except for an adventurous cliff diving video from Matt, the couple didn’t share any photos from Aspen on their Instagram pages. However, fan page Mattchelor.Nation shared a picture of the couple about to go white water rafting. It is known that Rachael and Matt share a common love for adventure, being photographed quite eloquently to millions of Americans on their infamous skydiving one-on-one that literally shook the ground.
Just recently, Rachael reunited with a few of the other girls from season 25. She posted on her Instagram Story with fellow Bachelor final four contestant Bri Springs, who just recently made the move from San Francisco to New York. New York is a Bachelor nation hotspot right now, and it is so nice to see the friendships that have been forming there.
Rachael and Matt have had quite the rocky relationship; granted, he is not quite as messy as some of the other Bachelors. The couple seems to be genuinely trying and enjoying their time together. With their relationship back on, that makes Matt/Rachael, Clare/Dale and Tayshia/Zac three straight success stories from The Bachelor franchise in a row. Fans are excited to see if Katie will make it a fourth.
