Rachael Kirkconnell is setting the record straight and making it clear that there's no bad blood between her and ex-boyfriend Matt James, despite their recent breakup. The 28-year-old took to social media to address a comment about her liking James' post on his trip to Africa, which sparked speculation about their relationship.

Superfan Zachary Reality took to TikTok to dissect Kirkconnell's jaw-dropping social media behavior. It didn't take long for the reality star to stumble upon the video and confront the status of their breakup directly.

"Never hated him and never will, I will always be rooting for him and wish him the best," Kirkconnell wrote in the comment section. "At the end of the day a like is just a like. We're all good over here 💛."

Several members of Bachelor Nation flocked to the post to share their Fan Of View. Many fear that Kirkconnell will get back together with James. One fan urged her to "stand up." She replied, "I'm standing." It's clear that Kirkconnell is moving forward and not looking back. 

This was Kirkconnell's first public interaction with James since her Call Her Daddy interview. She sat down with Alex Cooper nearly two weeks after the shocking split. During the hour-long conversation, Kirkconnell confessed that "no"infidelity was involved and she was "no" chance they would ever get back together. 

The Bachelorette alum was blindsided, as James recently encouraged her to start looking at rings for an engagement. In fact, he told PEOPLE they were aligned about their future last February. 

"We wouldn't be together if that wasn't the same goal," he claimed. "I'm definitely excited for what the future looks like with us." 

Although Kirkconnell is still grappling with her new reality, speaking out on Call Her Daddy was a healing experience. She also recognized that sharing her story could offer support and encouragement to other women facing similar challenges.

"That's why I did that interview and why I wanted to speak up, instead of just letting it blow over was because I wanted to stand up for myself," she told PEOPLE. "And I also told myself there were so many people that were fans of us or cared about our relationship and I wanted to give them those answers that they had so many questions to." 

Her message? Breakups can be tough, but with time, healing is possible. "It will get better and it'll get easier and it'll be okay," she reassured her followers.

It's clear that  Kirkconnell and James are both doing fine post-breakup, but fans may never fully get the full picture of what went down between them. Bachelor Nation is cheering for Kirkconnell for taking the high road and not stooping to any drama – she knows her worth and deserves to find happiness. 

Even though she's distanced herself from the Bachelor franchise, fans are hoping to see her on Bachelor in Paradise or even pair up with Craig Conover, Paige DeSorbo's ex. The two seem to have similar values, share southern charm, and might just be a perfect match. How would you feel about this power couple?
