Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell are not back together.
Recently, fans started speculation that the Matt, 29, and Rachael, 24, were dating again after a fan spotted them out together in New York.
Now a source close to Matt has shared a statement that he and Rachael “are just friends.”
“They are not together. He supports her as a friend. He is not looking for a relationship,” the source told People. “Matt is focused on engaging in meaningful projects in the community at this time.”
As Bachelor fans can remember, Rachael won Matt‘s season of the hit ABC romance series and dated for a while after filming ended, but they broke up after photos of Rachael attending an antebellum plantation-themed party in 2018 resurfaced online.
Rachael has since apologized for her scandal, saying that she is “learning and will continue to learn how to be antiracist.”

Matt James shaved his beard!
The 29-year-old star of The Bachelor revealed that he shaved down his beard on his Instagram Story on Thursday (April 1).
After weeks of playfully being trolled by Bachelor Nation fans on social media, he decided to go clean-shaven with some short stubble.
“It was time,” he wrote under the photo of himself, “[peace sign emoji] beard.”
He first debuted the full beard during the Women Tell All episode at the start of March, with many playfully suggesting his longer beard was a sign of single status.
“Nothing says I’m not in a proper relationship like this Matt James beard,” one popular tweet read at the time.
“Matt James’ beard SCREAMS single,” wrote another.

Matt James has officially made his Instagram active, but fans realized one major change: it appears as if he deleted all of his Bachelor posts from his page.
If you don’t know, Matt was the star of the hit reality show this past season but the winner of his season, was embroiled in controversy.
Rachael Kirkconnell was given the final rose, but as the show aired, she was found to have a past.
After they finished filming the season, photos from Rachael‘s past surfaced and showed how she had attended a plantation party and also liked racially insensitive posts on social media. The controversy blew up after the show’s host Chris Harrison defended Rachael during an interview and dismissed that racism was an issue in the situation.
You can find out if Matt and Rachael are still together right here.
Matt James is opening up about his split from Rachael Kirkconnell.
During an appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast on Friday, the former Bachelor discussed a possible reconciliation with Rachael.
“I don’t think that anyone’s irredeemable,” Matt said of getting back together with Rachael after their split.
“And, I think that for Rachael, there’s a lot that we didn’t discuss that we probably should’ve talked about. I probably should’ve asked more clarifying questions. And I’m giving her that space to do that,” he added.
Matt also revealed that he found out about Rachael‘s offensive photos the same way Bachelor Nation did – through social media.
“The tough thing is having to explain to America why those pictures are problematic to me,” Matt said. “You hear people harping on forgiveness and I forgave her when she told me. That doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed and that I don’t want her to do better.”
Matt also said he’s going to take some time to focus on himself and didn’t have plans to get into another relationship anytime soon.
“In the meantime, I’m working on myself. I’m not going to be dating,” he shared. “I’m just solely focused on getting back into that meaningful work in the community and centering myself around projects that are going to elevate all the work that I’ve been working on doing in the city and special interest things that I appreciate outside of reality television.”
Matt also discussed Chris Harrison‘s controversial interview with Rachel Lindsay.
“As I watched that interview with Chris and Rachel, I thought I was in an alternate reality. It didn’t even seem real as it’s coming out,” Matt said. “It was sad. It was sad to hear that because I had so many conversations [with him] about how I was feeling, what I was going through in that crazy process that I was in, and it’s hard to imagine that he could really sympathize with what I was feeling.”
“Chris has outlined in his statement that he’s committed to putting in the work, he’s taking a step back, so I respect that. I hope that he does,” he continued. “I don’t think that anybody should be trying to cancel him. We should be calling him in to do that work that he’s outlined that he wants to do. I look forward to seeing him do that.”
