Matt James fans mocked the star for his bizarre split announcement from Rachael Kirkconnell on Thursday as the couple enjoyed a trip together to London just hours earlier.

The Bachelor Nation veteran, 33, who revealed the breakup news on Instagram, shared a video on his home page in which both he and Kirkconnell, 28, enjoyed a tasty meal in London shortly before posting about their separation.

The TV personality had uploaded a photo of the couple on The Bachelor where they met and asked God to help them “mend our broken hearts.”

He also turned off comments on the surprise post, but didn’t on the previous clip that was shared Wednesday when the now-exes spent time at a restaurant amid the getaway.

In the video, both Matt and Rachael filmed themselves passing by Crisp Pizza W6 while trying some tasty pizzas.

However, fans jumped into the comments section to share their confusion over the strange reel moment.

A fan also shared: ‘They broke up while in London?!!?? Say it’s not like that,” followed by a crying face emoji.

Another suggested that Matt possibly didn’t upload the split ad himself, writing: “With all due respect, math isn’t math on this Matt… have you been hacked?”

‘They were eating pizza together 15 hours ago. I don’t understand, I think it’s just heartburn… Don’t make hasty decisions, guys!’ one written.

One Instagram user added: “I hope his account hasn’t been hacked and this breakup announcement isn’t real.”

Another also suggested: “It had to have been hacked… doesn’t seem like your subtitle style.”

‘Were they all eating pizza together?!? “Just buy some hot wings and tell him you’re sorry,” one fan shared, while one wrote, “So what’s the deal?”

The star shared a caption prayer, which also revealed the split news: “Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts.” Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding.’

He added: ‘Give our friends and family kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our joy comes from you, Lord,’ with a broken heart emoji.

Matt and Rachael met on the 2020 season of the hit dating show, where he opted not to propose to Rachael but instead end the show in a relationship with her.

The star, who was the first Black Bachelor in the show’s 19-year history, split from Rachael in 2021 after photos emerged of her attending a plantation-themed party in 2018, but they reconciled shortly after.

Matt disabled comments on the post, which has since garnered more than 80,000 likes. He also tagged Rachael in the photo.

Rachael hasn’t posted anything since wishing Matt a happy birthday on December 5, 2024, along with a gushing caption and a sweet video.

After starring on The Bachelor, the couple quickly fell in love on the season, and Matt gave her the final rose but decided not to propose.

However, the couple soon split after racially insensitive images of Rachael at an antebellum plantation-themed party she attended appeared online.

He publicly apologized and during the After the Final Rose episode in March 2021, Matt told the audience that they had taken a step back in their relationship.

They sparked reconciliation rumors the following month and became official again in May 2021.

Explaining how they met, Matt said WSJ Magazine: ‘I think the best way to put it is that we can have critical conversations about this relationship and what I need in a partner, especially if that woman is not black, to understand what is coming with me, my life and my being. Black.’

He added: ‘It is up to people who care about being allies to do the work of being truly anti-racist. And I think it’s unfair to leave people without the ability to unlearn and be better.’

After their reconciliation, the lovebirds’ relationship went from strength to strength: the duo traveled and tried meals together.
