Reality Steve Confirms ‘Bachelor’ Matt James Relationship Status With Winner
Season 25 of The Bachelor has been unlike any other. While many have been celebrating Matt James as the first Black male lead, there has been controversy. As most know by now one of his contestants and a front-runner has been accused of past racist actions. These accusations include bullying other girls in school for their preference to date Black men. And, most recently photos were released showing Rachael Kirkconnell attending an Old South Antebellum type ball. That photo led to the interview host Chris Harrison had with Rachel Lindsay. His world was turned upside down as he was also accused of being racist. While all this is going on, Matt still has a season to hopefully find love playing out on television. Keep in mind the season wrapped up filming in November 2020. Now, as the final four head into hometowns this week, new information is surfacing about Matt and his final rose winner. Warning! Spoilers ahead!
