<\/p>\n\nThings must finally be going well between \u201cBachelor\u201d stars Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell.<\/p>\n
The pair got together when James picked Kirkconnell as the winner of his season of the ABC show, but they split in February after Kirkconnell\u2019s allegedly racially insensitive behavior was brought to light.<\/p>\n
But they reunited in May, and now we\u2019re told they\u2019re planning to move in together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are thinking about where he wants to restart his real estate career,\u201d says an insider. \u201cHe\u2019s thinking Miami. They want to stay on the East Coast because their families are there. Plus, Miami real estate is blowing up and the weather is beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before appearing on the last season of the show, James, who is from North Carolina, worked at CBRE Group, Inc. in New York. Kirkconnell is a graphic designer from Georgia.<\/p>\n
James chose Kirkconnell as the winner of Season 25, but they decided to buck convention and not get engaged on the final episode. Shortly after, a former high school friend of Kirkconnell claimed online that Kirkconnell had mocked classmates for being attracted to Black men. She was also accused of wearing culturally insensitive party costumes, and photographs emerged of her attending an antebellum-themed \u201cOld South\u201d party while she was in college.<\/p>\n
Kirkconnell apologized in February for her \u201coffensive and racist\u201d past behavior.<\/p>\n
The pair confirmed they had rekindled their romance in May with James telling the Wall Street Journal that the two are \u201ctrying to make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n
A source told Page Six at the time that James, who is Black, was \u201chesitant to publicly and outrightly confirm it right now because it\u2019s still fresh and they still have issues to work through,\u201d a source tells Page Six exclusively. \u201cRachael already faced scrutiny for her past, and now all eyes have shifted to Matt, so he\u2019s feeling pressure to set a good example for other Black men.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now the pair seem to have moved past their issues. They were spotted Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons at the newly opened Bounce in Montauk, hanging out at the Surf Lodge, and \u201cgetting cozy\u201d by the fire pit at Gurneys.<\/p>\n
Reps for the \u201cBachelor\u201d did not respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
