If you’ve been wondering what former Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell and her boyfriend Matt James have been up to these days, you’re not the only one.
After the
involving Kirkconnell that happened earlier this year, fans were not sure if they would see the
contestant in public for a while especially after it was made known that she was having quite a hard time dealing with the consequences of her actions. However, after her apology and her commitment to righting her wrongs, it appears that Rachael Kirkconnell is doing much better alongside her man.
Kirkconnell and James were just spotted on a very fancy date night dressed in rather elegant clothes from head to toe. Of course, with these the pair being such big names in
, they couldn’t possibly leave the red carpet without being interviewed by our former
Bachelorette
leading lady now working for Extra.
Rachel Lindsay interviews Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell
Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay got a chance to speak with James and Kirkconnell during the 2021 ESPY Awards and asked them the pressing questions that were on everyone’s minds.
First, Lindsay asked if the couple were watching the current season of The Bachelorette, to which Kirkconnell stated that while she’s not tuning in, she’s supporting Katie Thurston and is excited for whoever she ends up picking. The conservation then led to Rachel Lindsay wondering what was next for the pair.
Matt James replied:
"I think we’re both working on some exciting things. We’ve got a hydroponic farm that’s coming into the city that we’re going to be integrating our students into working [on]."
While we didn’t get much insight into the couple’s relationship, we did get to see the pair answer some pop culture pop-quiz questions. Check out the full interview down below.
Reddit fans saw the interview as well and applauded Lindsay’s way of making the couple feel at ease despite what has happened in the past.
One Redditor stated, “Wow, this had every reason to be an incredibly awkward encounter but Rachel handled it with class and poise. A true professional!,” to which another stated, “Rachel is such a professional, not that I expected anything less. We love to see it.”
It’s always good to see Bachelor stars meet up and have some fun, light-hearted banter. Hopefully, we’ll continue to see Rachel Lindsay interview more former contestants on the red carpet sometime soon.
