After happening hiatus following a disastrous ninth season adopted by breakups, Bachelor in Paradise will return to the 2025 TV schedule with a brand new showrunner and a recent group of Bachelor Nation singles hoping to seek out love (or Instagram followers). It’s commonplace to see contestants with nonetheless freshly damaged hearts take the seaside, and typically they’re even introduced face-to-face with their exes. That’s apparently what Wells Adams is hoping to see with Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, and I’m not right here for this scorching take.
Wells Adams Suggests Paradise For Matt James And Rachael Kirkconnell
Matt James’ social media announcement that he and Rachael Kirkconnell had damaged up after 4 years of courting shocked Bachelor Nation alumni and followers alike. Not solely that, however Kirkconnell filling in a few of the gaps of what occurred on Name Her Daddy barely softened the blow. Former The Bachelorette contestant and BIP bartender Wells Adams was as stunned as anybody, however he instructed Parade that possibly the cut up introduced them with a chance, saying:
They’d been collectively for therefore lengthy. Normally, Bachelor Nation relationships, [if they do] fizzle out, [it’s] after possibly a 12 months or so. However that one was happening 4 years. That one did shock me. I assumed they’d simply get married and have children, and that may be the tip of that. It’s a bummer, however I suppose it makes it potential that they each may present up in Paradise this summer season.
Hopefully, Wells Adams was simply joking, as a result of the considered Rachael Kirkconnell and/or Matt James exhibiting up on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is the most well liked Bachelor take I’ve heard shortly. It’s extremely unlikely that both one would ever contemplate it and, for my part, they completely shouldn’t.
Matt James And/Or Rachael Kirkconnell On Bachelor In Paradise Is A Unhealthy Concept
There’s one large motive why this former couple would doubtless by no means agree to look on Bachelor in Paradise, and that’s as a result of they separated themselves from the franchise following the racism scandal of Matt James’ season. Regardless of being one of many longest-standing {couples} ever to come back out of the present, neither of them ever appeared within the viewers at a finale or confirmed as much as host a bunch date. They selected one another, and so they moved on.
Realizing that that is already the slimmest of potential situations, nevertheless, I don’t suppose both of them ought to return to the franchise, for their very own well-being. Rachael Kirkconnell was villainized for previous racist actions, which included attending an antebellum-themed fraternity celebration in 2018, and I doubt she needs to relive any of what we went by publicly in 2021.
As for Matt James, regardless of Rachael Kirkconnell denying that there was dishonest concerned of their breakup, the previous Bachelor has been criticized by followers for the way in which he blindsided Kirkconnell with the breakup announcement — posting the Instagram photograph as she bought on a global flight, the place he knew she wouldn’t have use of her cellphone for 12 hours.
Bachelor Nation’s fanbase has, sadly, been recognized to get fairly poisonous, sending demise threats to the fact stars for no motive in any respect. With every thing Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell have already been by, I feel their historical past with the franchise is just too charged for both of them to make a well-received comeback. With that, I hope they ignore Wells Adams’ musings and keep far-off from Bachelor in Paradise.
