Inside Matt James' Close Bond With His Mom: What We Know About His Family

Long before ABC named Matt James the season 25 Bachelor in June 2020, he grew up in North Carolina with mother Patty James and older brother John.

After Matt and John’s parents split when they were little, father Manny James was often “absent” from their lives, per a 2019 Wake Forest Magazine article.

“He was always drawn to families where the mom and dad were together,” Patty told ABC’s New York affiliate in June 2019 while chatting about her son’s ABC Food Tours charity. “I am so proud of him. He overcame everything and he wants to be a role model for these kids.”

One year later, a source told Us Weekly that Matt “has a good family and he’s very loyal” to his relatives. “He’s an all-around, quality, genuine person. He is family-oriented,” the source explained.

Matt made history as the franchise’s first Black Bachelor and ultimately found love with his season 25 finalist Rachael Kirkconnell.
