‘Listen to Your Heart’ Exes Rudi Gutierrez & Matt Ranaudo Reunite for a Surprise Performance of ‘All I Ask’ By Adele
Reunited!
Fans of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” saw co-stars Rudi Gutierrez and Matt Ranaudo’s relationship blossom on the show nearly two years ago.
But despite developing a remarkable connection, the talented duo notably lost tempo during the Nashville finale, which aired in May 2020.
Their whirlwind romance unraveled as quickly as it began, with Matt making an inexplicable call for the couple to bow out of the dating-singing competition series early.
Had they stayed, Rudi and Matt — known then to admirers as “Mudi” — could have potentially won “Listen to Your Heart” with one of their powerhouse performances, routinely lauded by judges for strong vocals and palpable chemistry.

Last year, Rudi exclusively told BachelorNation.com that she was heartbroken by Matt’s decision, saying, “I was so confused. I was having such a great time and didn’t want to go home. I wanted nothing more than to be onstage and sing with him. I was blindsided. But I realized why he sabotaged our chances of winning. If we won, we were supposed to tour as a couple.”
The two have kept on their separate ways for the past two years, creating new music and even singing about their breakup.
But now, they shocked Bachelor Nation fans with a surprise performance together on Instagram.
The exes took to social media and shared a video of them singing “All I Ask” by Adele, and in true “Mudi” fashion, it was STUNNING.

Alongside the video, Rudi wrote, “Life is too short to hold onto grudges sometimes you just gotta move on and do what makes YOU happy - singing with this guy is one of those things that will always put a smile on my face. Cheers to Mudi and more music to come :) Leave a comment on what we should cover next.”
Matt also shared the video and his own caption, saying, “Life is filled with ups and downs and right now I am extremely grateful. There are not many things in this life that can compare to the feeling I get singing with you Rudi. So happy to have you back in my life. A giant void has been filled and I feel whole again. Let’s give them a very Mudi 2022!!”
Rudi commented on his post, writing, “Mudi is back baby!”
Many of their fellow “Listen to Your Heart” co-stars, like Christopher Watson, Ryan Neal, Julia Rae, Natascha Bessez, and more, commented on the posts showing their support.
We can’t wait to see what “Mudi” covers next, and we’re just glad these two are singing together again!
