Which ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Couples Are Still Together?

The biggest thing about Rachael and Matt's breakup was how sudden it was — for fans and Rachael alike. She told Alex that it was "definitely out of nowhere" while they were on a trip in Tokyo. She said, "Everything was fine the night before. We didn't have an argument, but I was feeling very overwhelmed.

Rachael explained that it all stemmed from every couple's dreaded dilemma: what they should have for dinner. According to Rachael, she was trying to pick a restaurant for dinner while they were out of town, and she felt a lot of pressure to find a "good" place to eat because "he cares" (given Matt's a food content creator). She said, "Anywhere we'd go, literally every single meal that we would have, we were filming."

Given that pressure — and her period (been there, girl!) — Rachael said she was super overwhelmed and emotional. When they finally found somewhere for dinner, she was feeling all of the things and teared up at dinner, while Matt apparently sat there silently. She didn't think it was "anything serious," but the next day everything seemed to fall apart.

When Rachael asked Matt why he was quiet the night before, he started opening up. She said, "He said that at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife." Then, Rachael claims Matt said the he "couldn't see myself married to you." OOF.

Rachael's response? "I feel like after four years you should know or you should feel ready. And if you don't, then that's not a good thing. We probably shouldn't be together."

Matt shared the breakup on Instagramjust three hours after their conversation, leaving Rachael on a 12 1/2 hour international flight without anyone to talk to about it. Instead, she said she was left to anxiously process the breakup alone on the plane, unsure of what people were even saying about it all.

The aftermath of that conversation lead to Matt's out-of-the blue Instagram post, sharing the breakup with the world — just three hours afterwards. Rachael had to get on a 12 1/2 hour international flight back home afterwards, stuck processing this alone without access to her friends or family. She couldn't even see what everyone was saying about the shocking news.

Needless to say, everyone was surprised that Matt went from sharing a video eating pizza with Rachael one day (January 15) to posting their breakup the next (January 16). And it was confusing for Rachael, too. "That's probably one of the saddest things about just picturing your life with someone and thinking that is how your life's gonna look, and now it's just all taken away," Rachael said. "We talked about rings. He told me a few months ago to start saving some things, picking things out that we should go look at."

She said, "I'm still in total shock. I think that’s why I didn’t say anything. Still haven't made a statement or anything because I'm processing this just like everyone else is."

1. Wearing Green (And Pinching Those Who Aren't)

One of the easiest ways to cash in on the luck of St. Patrick's Day is by wearing green. This hue has deep ties to Ireland, which is often called the "Emerald Isle" due to its lush, rolling landscapes. Beyond its natural beauty, green also carries historical significance and symbolizes Irish nationalism and cultural pride.

The best part? There's a mischievous side to this fun and festive tradition. More specifically, those who forget to wear the color might find themselves on the receiving end of a pinch.

This playful custom is more common in the U.S. than in Ireland and stems from the idea that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, who are known for their trickster ways. So, to avoid being "spotted" (or pinched), make sure you add a splash of green to your outfit.

2. Drowning A Shamrock In Whiskey

In Ireland, a well-known tradition is "drowning the shamrock," and it's believed to bring good luck. The shamrock has long been linked with Irish heritage and fortune. It's said to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity.

So, on March 17, many celebrate by dropping a fresh shamrock into a glass of whiskey, drinking the beverage, and then tossing the shamrock over their left shoulder for good luck.

3. Doing An Irish Jig

Get into the spirit of the holiday by learning an Irish jig! This energetic dance is a staple of Irish celebrations and is often performed in parades or festivals. It features quick footwork, pointed toes, and rhythmic hopping.

The Irish jig has deep roots in Celtic culture, possibly evolving from ancient clan marching tunes or early Celtic circle dances. Traditionally, Celts danced clockwise for joyous occasions and counterclockwise for mourning.

You can take a dance class, join in at a local event, or just work on some jig steps at home!

4. Searching For Four-Leaf Clovers

Hunting for a four-leaf clover is a classic St. Patty's Day pastime, and if you manage to find one, you should consider yourself super lucky.

While shamrocks typically have three leaves, the rare four-leaf clover is actually a genetic mutation, making it a real symbol of good fortune. In fact, experts estimate that only one in every 10,000 clovers has four leaves!

Test your luck this holiday by scanning a patch of clover quickly. Our brains are surprisingly good at spotting irregular patterns.

5. Release The "Devil" From Your Irish Soda Bread

Did you know that cutting a cross on top of Irish soda bread isn't just for aesthetics? According to Irish folklore, scoring a cross into the dough "lets the devil out" and ensures good luck and protection for your household.

This superstition, rooted in both Christian and pagan beliefs, was thought to ward off evil spirits. It also serves a practical purpose by allowing steam to escape, thus helping the bread bake evenly.

6. Run In A St. Patrick's Day Dash

Running a race might not be the first thing that comes to mind for March 17, but it's become a really fun tradition. St. Patrick's Day dashes can range from quick 5Ks to half marathons, with plenty of family-friendly walks for those who prefer a more leisurely pace.

Participants dress up in green, wear shamrocks, and sometimes even race while sporting leprechaun hats! It's a great way to stay active and possibly run your way into some good luck.

7. Chow Down On Corned Beef And Cabbage

It's just not St. Patrick's Day without a plate of corned beef and cabbage. Even though many associated this dish with Ireland, it actually has Irish-American roots.

When Irish immigrants arrived in the U.S., they found corned beef to be a more affordable alternative to traditional bacon. Paired with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, it became a comforting and flavorful meal that stuck as a holiday staple.

8. Kiss Someone Who Is Irish

Finally, you've definitely seen the phrase "Kiss me, I'm Irish" on T-shirts before. This fun saying is tied to the tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland, an act that's said to bring good luck.

However, not all of us have the ability to visit the Blarney Stone. So, kissing an Irish person is another way to honor the custom in the spirit of good fortune.
