It’s no secret that Matt James had a strong bromance with another “Bachelorette” star before his season of “The Bachelor” was even a thought amongst ABC producers.

Matt has been friends with Tyler Cameron since college. The two met at Wake Forest University where they played football together. After graduation, the guys moved to New York City and became roommates.

They also co-founded a nonprofit together, both bonding over their passion for helping others and giving back. ABC Food Tours was created “to empower students by providing experiences across diverse cultures and career opportunities through food/fitness, education, and skills-based training. ABC Food Tours inspires students across New York City to create meaningful, equitable connections that will break the oppressive cycle of poverty,” the organization’s website reads.

Tyler supported Matt throughout his journey to find love on “The Bachelor.” Now that things have settled down for Matt and he and Rachael Kirkconnell are officially on-again, the guys have gone on their first public outing — a double date (Tyler is dating Camila Kendra)! However, now that Rachael has been around Matt and Tyler, she’s very much realizing that she simply cannoy compete with their bromance!

According to People magazine, Matt took to his Instagram Stories to share a video of his three amigos enjoying their adult beverages. “He also shared a photo at another local hot spot, the Surf Lodge, and a shot of himself in bed with dessert,” the outlet reported.

The couples weekend comes on the heels of Matt’s appearance on “The Pomp” podcast in which he revealed that he and Rachael were officially back on.
