It looks like Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell are over — for good.
The reality starlet, 28, was caught at an airport, where she was asked about the recent breakup, which seemed to catch her — and everyone else — off guard.
“It’s nothing that you can prepare for. So, you just take it one day at a time,” she said in a video posted by Instagram gossip account Deux Moi on Tuesday, January 28. “I think things will start to come out and I’ll speak about it whenever I’m ready, but for now, I’m just protecting my peace.”
The star was spotted at the airport in late January, where she was asked about the split.
The social media star denied that infidelity played a role in her split from James, 33, adding that there's no shot she would get back together with him again.
As OK! previously reported, James announced he and Kirkconnell had gone their separate ways after meeting on The Bachelor in 2020.
