During the episode, Kirkconnell claimed that the pair had been discussing picking out an engagement ring and having children in the months before he broke up with her, and that James shared his breakup statement – without consulting her – while she was at the airport to return home days after the split.
The pair met and fell in love on the 25th season of the ABC dating show The Bachelor. They had tumultuous start to their relationship when Kirkconnell was embroiled in racism controversy after pictures of her at an antebellum plantation-themed party in 2018 surfaced online.
At the time, The Bachelor host Chris Harrison defended Kirkconnell against the racism controversy, which ultimately led to his exit from The Bachelor franchise in June 2021 after 20 years with ABC. In response to the controversy, James and Kirkconnell split, but they were spotted together a month later and rekindled their relationship.
