Following their breakup in February, Matt and Rachael reunited on April 4 in New York City and proceeded to hang out in Los Angeles and Miami.
Once the couple's relationship was officially back on, Matt and Rachael partied over Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons with Tyler and his model girlfriend Camila Kendra.
"I think they're great for each other," Tyler explained of Matt and Rachael.
"They seem like they're spending a lot of time together, getting comfortable with each other -- and they've come a long way. So if they're happy, I'm happy."
In the months since Rachael and Matt's reconciliation, Tyler admitted he has seen some improvements in his best buddy.
"She got him to pick up his sh-t!" Tyler joked with Us. "You know, like, he's cleaning up his clothes, he's not leaving them all over the doors and stuff after he sweats in them, so I like it."
Matt and his Season 25 The Bachelor winner have certainly come a long way since their breakup, which was the result of racially-ignorant and racially-insensitive photos from Rachael's past resurfacing online, including a 2018 image of Rachael attending an antebellum-themed "Old South" party at her Georgia college with sorority sisters.

Matt apparently needed to know that Rachael could support him and truly understand his perspective as a Black man in America.
But according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, Matt could only stand being separated from Rachael for about a month because he allegedly began FaceTiming with her every day following their ATFR appearance, saying he still loved her and wanted her back.
Another "rough patch" Matt and Rachael went through was in early April when Matt had been accused of trying to hook up with an old Miami-based flame named Grace shortly before flying Rachael to New York to see him.
Matt acknowledged during the May 25 episode of The Pomp Podcast there was a point in time when he "wasn't really honoring" the commitment he had made to Rachael to work on their relationship" but a "come-to-Jesus meeting" with Rachael got the couple's romance back on the right track.
"She was like, 'If you're going to make this work, then let's do it. But, if you're not going to make it work, then I'm going to let you do your own thing.' That's really all I needed," Matt recalled.
"It was an ultimatum that I needed... and it's been great."

Matt added last month, "The best thing about Rachael is her heart. She's the most kind, caring, and understanding person I've ever met... Everything we've been through, everything she's been through, she's stuck right by my side. She's continued to have a positive attitude."

A source told E! News earlier this month that Matt and Rachael "are getting serious" and are "inseparable."
"[Matt] is truly in love" with Rachael, said the source, and they "have a special bond."
As for Tyler, he found fame when he competed for Hannah Brown's heart on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season in 2019.
After finishing as Hannah's runner-up, Tyler apparently had a series of flings before setting his sights on Camila.
