The Bachelor couple Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell are reportedly over for good and any chance of reconciliation no longer exists after Matt was accused of two-timing Rachael.

"Rachael and Matt are on non-speaking terms after she learned about him lying about being in communication with another girl," a source told Us Weekly on Monday.

"He was in Atlanta this weekend, which is less than an hour away from where Rachael resides, and he has not reached out to her to make amends or apologize. As far as she's concerned, what they had is in the past now."

Following their March appearance on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, Matt stayed in touch with Rachael and allegedly told her that he still loved her and wanted to date her again, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone.

The former couple, who broke up in February, therefore reunited in New York City on April 6. But just two days beforehand, Matt allegedly spent time in Miami, FL, and reached out to a girl named Grace whom he had dated before and after being named The Bachelor star last year.

Carbone claimed in a recent Instagram Live session Matt had been "trying to hook up" with Grace in Miami and treated her like "a booty call."

"Rachael is very emotional right now because she was very hopeful that things were going to work out," a second source told Us earlier this month. "She's still trying to process this."

The second insider added that Rachael thought she and Matt were on the track to getting back together but, once she found out about Grace, felt "manipulated" by her ex-boyfriend.

Although Grace and Matt did not actually meet up in Miami, Grace reportedly confronted Matt on the phone once she heard about Matt and Rachael's subsequent reunion in New York.

"Matt was flat out lying to [Grace's] face... He called Grace back and said, 'I would never try and get with you Sunday night if that were the case,'" Carbone claimed.

A source reportedly made Rachael aware of Matt's alleged betrayal and then Rachael also asked Matt to tell her the truth, which Carbone said resulted in Matt insisting Grace didn't mean anything to him and he just needed another body to fill out a table at a Miami club.

"Not true, because when Grace told him, 'I'm not going to see you,' on Sunday night [and] 'I don't want to go to a party,' [Matt] said, 'Well, maybe we can have time to ourselves,'" Carbone recalled.

"So it was clear Matt wanted to be with her on Sunday night, but she never did."

The spoiler blogger added, "I just want to applaud Matt on the effort he's putting into playing two women at the same time."

Despite Matt's denial about Grace, "Rachael essentially walked out on Matt and [said], 'We're done,'" according to Carbone.

"Matt got caught with his pants down and she left and called her [The Bachelor] girls and hung out with them... She left Matt's apartment in a huff very upset and crying," Carbone said.

Rachael also reportedly contacted Grace directly to compare stories and the two women determined Matt had been playing them both.

Grace later confirmed Carbone's reporting about her interactions with Matt when she participated in an Instagram Live session with the spoiler blogger, and the second Us source said Grace totally "dropped [Matt]" after her findings.

According to Carbone, Matt FaceTimed with Rachael every day following After the Final Rose and had every intention of reconciling with her until she discovered his alleged attempt to hook up with Grace only two days earlier.

"[Matt] has been up Rachael's ass for three weeks," Carbone argued on Instagram, adding, "[He's] been telling Rachael he wants to be back together with her and he wants to have a relationship with her."

Carbone insisted prior reports Matt was hanging out with Rachael in New York as friends "couldn't be further from the truth" and Matt's camp was just spinning Matt's narrative."

"The narrative him and his camp are spinning in the media right now is gaslighting, it's manipulative and it's bullsh-t... He's trying to cover his ass," Carbone said.

But a source close to Matt maintained The Bachelor star "tried to make it clear to [Rachael] that he just wants to be friends."

Matt's insider continued, "Matt is a caring and supportive person, so he wouldn't want to block her out of his life completely."

Rachael was left feeling "very hurt" after the scandal, Us reported, but she's "doing good" now.

"She's working on her mental health and getting into a much better headspace," the first Us source said. "She's focusing on her own antiracism work and working on herself right now. She's not looking to jump into the dating field any time soon."

When Grace shared her side of the story on Instagram Live with Carbone, she admitted Matt trying to spend time with her right before reuniting with Rachael "didn't sit right" with her.

Grace said Rachael deserved to be made aware of Matt's behavior and she was the real "victim" in the situation.

"I'm completely fine... [but] when guys are two-timing you, it's just not okay," Grace noted.

"I hope [Rachael] finds someone better... At a certain point when you start changing your character and lying and gaslighting and doing all of these things to protect your image and your fame, that's sort of when I have an issue. All power to you if you go on the show for fame, but in Matt's case, it got to a point where it was a little too much."

Matt announced on After the Final Rose last month that he had decided to break up with Rachael shortly after she publicly apologized in February for her racially-ignorant and racially-insensitive actions in the last several years.

Matt previously said he wanted to give Rachael some time and space for her to educate herself and "put in the work" to become better.

Matt said during an appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast last month, "You hear people harping on forgiveness and I forgave her when she told me [about her mistakes], but that doesn't mean I'm not disappointed and I don't want her to do better."

Us recently reported Matt believes Rachael isn't a racist but he thought it "wasn't a good look for him to stay with her."

Matt had suggested in multiple interviews, however, he wasn't necessarily permanently closing the door on his relationship with Rachael, who had called Matt "the love of my life" and defended The Bachelor star against bullying and harassment.
