The latest episode of 'The Bachelor' Season 25 was one of the most dramatic so far. While some suitresses were sent home by Matt James, the rest were seen working on their relationship with the bachelor amid all the chaos due to the tension between the ladies. And, Kit Keenan, the youngest suitress of the season finally got to spend some alone time with Matt as he arranged a cooking date for her. 

Kit couldn't have been happier as it reminded her of the time she spent with her mother and Matt also enjoyed preparing cookies with her. The duo had a good time and Matt said he was able to connect with Kit as they discussed love, relationships and compatibility. 

While it looked like Matt and Kit hit it off, viewers felt the suitress was too "young and naive" for Matt. Owing to the same reason, may expressed that their relationship wouldn't last long due to their staggering age difference.

How old is Kit Keenan?

According to Kit's official bio on ABC, she is only 21 and she is vying for the heart of Matt, who is 29. It also states that she "currently lives at home with her parents in the heart of the West Village while finishing her last year of undergrad at NYU." It further notes that she is looking for a "serious commitment" although she is only 21. 

Wonder what qualities she's looking for in her man? "She's found that most guys she meets don't match her maturity level, and although she is only 21, she is very ready for a serious commitment. Kit is looking for a man who is genuine, open and honest," according to her bio. 



 

It seems like Kit has prepared herself for a serious relationship, but viewers wonder if Matt is the one for her, especially when they share an age difference that might not serve them well. 

After watching Matt and Kit's one-on-one, a fan tweeted, "kit and matt's height difference is cute but she's like my age so it's weird seeing her date a 28 year old #TheBachelor" Another added to that, "Look I’m sorry but Kit is too entitled, too young, and too naïve for Matt. She’s cute but this ain’t it sis! #TheBachelor."

Another shared, "Matt & Kit. I don’t see it lasting. #Bachelor  #TheBachelor."A user tweeted, "Kit is only 21 and saying she had never found anything with a romantic partner....girl it doesn’t get easier with age #TheBachelor."
