The couple announced their split after four years together in a heartfelt social media post that has left fans heartbroken. Matt, the 33-year-old former Bachelor star, took to Instagram on Thursday to share his sorrow. He wrote: "Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts."

He persisted with an appeal for harmony and compassion: "Grant us a serenity regarding this choice to conclude our relationship that goes beyond human comprehension." His words concluded on an optimistic tone as he wrote: "Bestow kindness and love upon our friends and family to soothe our hearts. And help us remember that our true Joy is derived from you, Lord."

The couple initially found their connection during the 25th season of The Bachelor.

Following their encounter on the 25th season of The Bachelor in 2020, Matt and Rachel showcased their romance to the public as they explored new destinations and indulged in their love for cuisine on social media. The couple frequently posted on TikTok, sharing tales from their adventures and reviewing various restaurants from around the world.

While James never popped the question to Rachel, the former real estate agent told People that marriage was eventually the goal. The North Carolina native explained that although he saw commitment in their future, they were following their own timeline and he was in no rush to propose.

During an interview conducted last year, Matt shared with the news outlet: "It's important to approach everything in life—be it relationships, work, or exercise—at a pace that feels right for you. If you prioritize what others expect of you without taking your own feelings into account, it's likely to lead to trouble."
