The Real Reason Kit Keenan Quit The Bachelor

On the Feb. 15, 2021 episode of The Bachelor, Kit Keenan decided to walk away from Matt James once and for all. "I thought I would have the clarity I needed going into hometowns, but hometowns isn't a 'figure it out' sort of situation, it's a 'rest of your life' situation," Kit admitted to Matt during the episode, as reported by Bustle

Prior to her decision to depart, Kit had told Matt that she wanted to put her career goals first. "Getting married... will probably be pushed a little longer than the other women," she opened up during her departure, per Elite Daily. "And I wouldn't want to have kids until I'm 25, 26. I'm a long-term investment." It was only after Matt did not give Kit the group date rose following her emotional admission that Kit realized he wasn't the one for her. She later called the whole experience a "very, very, very hard time" on Bachelor Happy Hour

Kit has come a long way since appearing on The Bachelor and has admitted to turning to mental health and wellness accounts on Instagram for inspiration. Of course, her mother Cynthia Rowley applauds Kit's tenacity on-screen. "I think she went into [The Bachelor] with the right intentions," Rowley told POPSUGAR. "She came out of it having a good experience and making a lot of new friends... I'm happy for her." Aren't we all?
