Rachael Kirkconnell Claps Back at Matt James Breakup with Humor and Some Pizza Messes
In the land of reality TV romances where fairy tales often dissolve faster than a puff of smoke, Rachael Kirkconnell is making the most of her recent split from “The Bachelor” star Matt James. After four years of dating—which went from sweet to swirling with tension like a badly made cocktail—Rachael chose to poke fun at her heartbreak on social media instead of wallowing in it. On February 23, she shared a playful Instagram video collaborating with Brawny, the paper towel brand that’s every kitchen’s best friend, showcasing how it can handle unexpected spills, a not-so-subtle nod to her relationship’s decline.
In the light-hearted clip, Rachael jokes about life getting “messy” now that she’s single and can ditch the stress of perfect dinner reservations. While literally whipping up a pizza with friends, she experiences a comedic disaster with marinara sauce. Enter the Brawny mascot, stepping in to save the day. With a cheeky smile, she quips, “But now, I have someone I can always depend on,” making it clear she’s pointing at her trusty paper towels rather than Matt, who had a rather abrupt exit from their love story.
To add fuel to the fire, Rachael later spilled the tea on “Call Her Daddy,” revealing she found out about Matt’s surprise breakup announcement while she was sitting in an airport, phone blowing up with notifications. Yikes! Talk about a public breakup plot twist! According to her, their split stemmed from an argument while on a Tokyo vacation, highlighting their lack of compatibility and Matt’s reluctance to envision a future that included marriage. “We talked about rings,” Rachael noted, reminiscing about the hopeful times when they envisioned their future together, complete with engagements and family planning.
In what’s perhaps a symbol of their amicable split, fans noticed Rachael has liked Matt’s recent Instagram posts, a small but telling gesture that suggests there’s no bad blood. The journey of love can be messy, from romantic dates to explosive social media reveals, but Rachael is coming out with a smile and a sense of humor. After all, who needs a perfect dinner spot when you’ve got pizza, friends, and Brawny on your side?
