Rachael Kirkconnell Answers Burning Fan Questions Like Who’s Slid Into Her DMs and Her Biggest Ick
Spilling the tea…
Bachelor Nation got to know Rachael Kirkconnell on Season 25 of “The Bachelor,” where she found love with Matt James.
Earlier this year, Matt revealed that the two had unfortunately broken up, and Rachael shared it was because they wanted different things.
Since then, Rachael has been keeping fans updated with her life online and just answered some burning fan questions about herself in a new post on Instagram.
In the video, Rachael answers 10 juicy questions that fans are dying to know, like if she has a celebrity crush and who has slid into her DMs.
She replied, “My celebrity crush, it honestly changes weekly. It’s been Glen Powell for a little bit. Michael B. Jordan always. Timothée Chalamet right now. It changes every week.”
Rachael continued and teased, “Who is in my DMs right now… hmm. I’d have to say….” then mouthed something as the audio was bleeped out so the answer is not revealed.
The Bachelor Nation star then revealed something her followers don’t know about her, which happened to be related to food.
She said, “I feel like people know me for food stuff, so I have to say this, I absolutely hate cilantro. Can’t stand it, it tastes like soap. P.S. that’s coriander for you Aussies.”
Rachael also shared the most recent text message she sent and revealed her biggest ick.
“The last text that I sent. My best friend just had her baby girl this morning, so it was definitely a text congratulating her and telling her how much I loved her,” she said.
“Biggest fashion ick. I think that fashion is a way that you can express yourself. I don’t think that any trend is a bad trend if someone loves it. I think for me, I don’t like mini shorts or the micro shorts because I think they look like a diaper on me personally. But they look so good on so many other people.”
Rachael ended the video with a word of advice for her younger self and expressed, “I would probably just have to say be kinder to myself. Be more gentle, tell myself that everything’s going to be okay. Everyone makes mistakes, and yeah. Just to be a lot nicer to myself.”
Such great advice! We always love hearing from Rachael and getting to learn more about her. We appreciate her honesty!
