Following the news that The Bachelor stars Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell have been allegedly trying to get back together, Reality Steve is now reporting that Matt was flirting with another woman while professing his love for Rachael. Just this week, Matt and Rachael were spotted in New York City together. However, according to the reports, this wasn’t the first they’ve had since the finale aired. If Reality Steve’s reporting turns out to be true, Matt has been deceiving not just Rachael, but another woman as well.
After Matt and Rachael’s dramatic breakup and awkward After the Final Rose interview, the fans assumed that the couple was done for good... or at least that’s the way that Matt made it all seem. He’s been vocal about Rachael needing to “do the work” to improve herself, explaining how that’s something she needs to do alone. But when they were seen together, everything was thrown into question. Many news outlets reported that Matt and Rachael are working on a platonic friendship and that Matt doesn’t want to date her, but Reality Steve has now countered those other sources.
In an Instagram Live recorded on Friday, wants to be in a relationship with her. The pair has been allegedly texting, talking, and FaceTiming every day since the finale, and Matt allegedly even paid for Rachael’s NYC ticket to visit him this week. However, Reality Steve also claims that Matt “b**ty called” a woman named Grace on the night before he flew from Florida to New York City so that he could meet Rachael. Grace ultimately turned him down and called Matt to confront him after she heard that he was spending time with Rachael, but Matt denied it. When these interactions with Grace got to Rachael, she also confronted Matt about it, who allegedly also denied he was talking to Grace.
According to Reality Steve, Matt and his camp are working overtime attempting to control the narrative and “cover their a**.” This new information looks bad for Matt, even if Reality Steve’s reporting shows that Matt didn’t technically cheat on Rachael. In the end, consistently professing his love and desire for Rachael while flirting with other women just days before he was set to see Rachael is sketchy behavior. Apparently, Rachael sees it the same way and left Matt’s apartment on Thursday. According to the allegations, the two have not talked since.
This isn’t the worst thing a former lead of The Bachelor has ever done, but it’s not a great look for Matt, either. He wasn’t in a committed relationship with Rachael when he was talking to Grace, but he was trying to be. If these reports turn out to be true, it casts serious doubts on Matt’s maturity and readiness to be in a committed relationship.
