Matt James Wore His Beard Wild At The Women’s Tell-All
Twitter erupted after the Bachelor lead appeared in the Women Tell All episode in March 2021, sporting an unkempt look. At the time, his then-bestie, Tyler Cameron, who loves to stick close to a razor had something to say about it. Initially, he hated it, but as time went by, he changed his mind. Lots of water flowed under the bridge since then, and Tyler’s okay with it now. But is Rachael Kirkconnell?
In Season 25 of The Bachelor, Matt James made a name for himself by being chosen as the first male African-American lead. Actually, there was little controversy about that. However, there was controversy about Rachael. Remember how she ended up under fire for an Antebellum South plantation-themed frat party in 2018? While she apologized, the fallout included the retirement of long-term host, Chris Harrison. Since then, Rachael ended up back with Matt after he dumped her.

Matt James Loves His Beard, Does Rachael?
The former footballer and Wake Forest University alum made a name for himself with his beard. Actually, he seems obsessed with it. However, not every woman in the world likes beards: especially if they look untidy. Repeatedly, tabloids focus on his facial hair, and he doesn’t seem to mind the publicity. He’ll wax on for hours about it if interviewers give him half a chance. This week he talked about it again with US Weekly.
It’s not clear how many Bachelor fans care about the routine that Matt James uses to keep his beard tidy. However, it might interest Bachelor Nation fans to know how Rachael feels about it. These days, they seem to get along well together. Now and then, steamy photos surface. Sometimes, he’s been beardless. And, at other times, he wasn’t. Mostly though, he seems to keep it.
Rachael Kirkconnell Tolerates The Beard
The outlet cited Matt James as saying that as long as he keeps it tidy, his girlfriend tolerates his facial hair. She said to him, “Take care of it.” Now that it doesn’t look so wild and untidy, she seems to be “more accepting this time around.” He added, “I think that she appreciates how much thoughtfulness goes into it. So she’s cool with it, as opposed to me just looking ragged and just letting it go.”
