Despite briefly splitting after the show came to an end, the couple are very much back together now.
In the video, Matt and Rachael were seen bickering over fast food as they sat in a car.
The clip was taken during the couple’s recent visit to Raleigh, North Carolina.
Rachael, 24, said: “You didn’t ask if I wanted anything.”
The real estate broker, 29, replied: “Yeah, I did.”
He then went on to ask Rachael if she wanted something from their next stop.
Rachael responded: “You’ve eaten today. I haven’t.”
Meanwhile, James captioned the clip: “Hangryyy.”
Despite breaking up for a brief period of time in March, Matt and Rachael decided to give their a relationship another shot as the Bachelor star shared the news in April.
The former athlete previously told PEOPLE: “I’m not pursuing any relationships right now outside of that. I said I was going to focus on my relationship with her and that means focusing on it.”
The pair first found love during the Bachelor season 25.
However, the reality star ended things once word emerged that the brunette had attended an Old South antebellum party while in college.
After photos surfaced of Rachael dressed in plantation garb and standing in front of a confederate flag, Matt admitted he “wasn’t okay,” and that “Rachael might not understand what it means to be Black in America.”
During the live After the Final Rose ceremony the couple confirmed their split, as the TV personality said: “If you don’t understand that something like that is problematic in 2018, there’s a lot of me that you won’t understand. It’s as simple as that.”
However, after reuniting, Rachael offered an apology to her ex, as she admitted causing his ‘hurt’.
She confessed: “I just want to take the time to say I’m really sorry.

“I really tried to put myself into your shoes as much as I could, I really do think that our relationship was very strong.
“And the love that we shared was very real, so for you to end things I realize that must’ve been really hard for you as well, to where you must have been hurting.”
The pair have since been spotted together after rekindling their romance.
Last month, they were pictured cozying up in The Hamptons on Memorial Day.
