Bachelor Nation star Matt James announced his split from girlfriend Rachael Kirkconnell - after dating on and off since 2020.

The 33-year-old reality star shared the news on his Instagram page on Thursday, along with a pictured of him and Rachael the first moment they met on The Bachelor

The star shared a prayer as the caption - which also revealed their split news: 'Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding.'

Adding: 'Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord,' with a broken heart emoji. 

Matt and Rachael met on the 2020 season of The Bachelor, where Matt opted not to propose to Rachael but end the show in a relationship with her. 

The star, who was the first Black Bachelor in the show's 19-year history, split from Rachael in 2021 after photos of her attending a plantation themed party in 2018 surfaced - but they reconciled soon after.
