Rachael Kirkconnell Says She’s Rather ‘Live Life Alone’ if She Doesn’t Find the ‘Perfect Person’
Keeping it real.
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 due to each of them deciding they wanted different things.
Rachael has since been very open about her life after the split, and she just stopped by Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast, where she discussed her future.
Jason checked in with Rachael about how she’s expressed being ready to get married and have kids, and asked where she is at with all of that post-breakup.
Rachael got candid saying, “I still am ready, but I’m not going to settle. I would rather be alone without kids as much as I do want a family. I will live my life alone without kids if I don’t find someone who is the perfect person for me.”
Jason agreed and Rachael added that she wants, “A partner through and through who I know would be an incredible husband and father. If I don’t find that, I’m not going to settle.”
Rachael concluded her thoughts saying, “I would rather be alone than be in something unhealthy or something I know is not right.”
Many Bachelor Nation fans commended Rachael in the comments and some even shipped her and Jason.
One person wrote, “You two would make the cutest couple! 🙌,” and another added “Nowww this is a couple I would love to see together!!!”
We love to see both Rachael and Jason thriving on their own and we know they will both find the perfect person out there for them.
