Peter Weber, Kelley Flanagan Drama: What Happened After Split?

His and her side. Bachelor alum Peter Weber and ex Kelley Flanagan have been exchanging shady comments about their former romance since their split in December 2020. What happened between the season 24 couple? Keep reading to see their drama timeline.

The pilot, 29, and lawyer, also 29, had an unconventional beginning to their love story. Kelley was eliminated by Peter before hometown dates, and he went on to get engaged to Hannah Ann Sluss during the 2019 finale.

However, the fiancés split shortly after because the leading man still had feelings for runner-up Madison Prewett. He and Madi, 24, explored their relationship after filming wrapped but announced their “mutual” breakup three days following their explosive appearance together on After the Final Rose in March 2020.

Fans were shocked less than a month later when Peter began quarantining amid the coronavirus pandemic with Kelley and his pal-turned-NYC roommate, Dustin Kendrick, in Chicago later that month. In April, Kelley and Peter made their relationship Instagram official.

The reality TV duo heated up fast and even had plans to move to New York City together, but in December 2020, Peter announced via Instagram they had called it quits.

“Love is a funny thing. It can make you feel on top of the world and it can make you feel a pain you wish didn’t exist. I’m here to share that Kelley and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the former Bachelorette contestant wrote at the time. “While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn’t work out in the end.” Peter still moved to the Big Apple in early January.

Kelley released her own statement days later. “I know a lot of you have already heard the news, but I wanted to take some time to process it for myself before sharing,” she began via Instagram. “Unfortunately, him and I are in two different stages of our lives and saw our future paths differently. I wish Peter the absolute best and want to thank everyone for your continued support as I move on to my next chapter.”

This was hardly the last chapter for Kelley and Peter. They briefly teased reconciliation rumors after they reunited during Super Bowl weekend in February, but things have since taken a downward turn.

January 2021

“Kelley and I broke up two weeks ago. I flew to Chicago and was finished with the relationship, then my mom really encouraged us to be in the relationship if we wanted to be and to not give up,” Peter told Entertainment Tonight about their breakup right after New Year’s. “Kelley and I operate on two different frequencies, and one isn’t better or worse than the other; we’re just two different people, and those differences surfaced after eight months of dating. But I loved her like crazy, and my mom really cared about her.”

February 2021

The exes reunited in Tampa during Super Bowl LV. Videos circulating on social media caught them hanging out poolside and at a nightclub. Kelley opened up about briefly rekindling things with Peter during an appearance on “Chicks in the Office” podcast on May 21.
After seeing each other over Super Bowl weekend, Kelley went to visit him in New York City for Valentine’s Day. “It ended really badly. I essentially went off on him,” she admitted. “I ended up leaving New York and going to one of my girlfriend’s houses and hanging out with her. He texted me. I didn’t respond and then found some news out that I wasn’t happy about. We still had each other on Find My Friends, we were closing it out, it was ending but still wasn’t necessarily done.”

Dirty Details

Kelley noted “actions speak louder than words,” and she had to listen to her gut when it came to leaving Peter for good.
“He’s telling me like, ‘I love you, I want to get back together with you,’” she said while noting she began reading stories online and seeing posts about Peter that suggested otherwise. “Is he lying to me or does someone really not want me to be with Peter? … It definitely messes with your head.”

Airing Things Out

Peter admitted he needed to “vent” about his split from Kelley after her podcast appearances during “Bachelors in the City.” He claimed they had broken up “six months ago,” which would have been November. Although he called their relationship the “best he’s ever had,” he thought her publicly dishing about their split was a “calculated” move.

Cohost Dustin suggested that Kelley may still be “hurting” from their uncoupling, which is why she decided to speak on it.
