‘The Bachelor’ Insider Hints Peter Weber, Kelley Flanagan Dating Rumor ‘Means Something’

After calling off his engagement with his “The Bachelor” winner Hannah Ann Sluss and a failed relationship with runner-up Madison Prewett, star Peter Weber is speculated to have moved onto fellow contestant Kelley Flanagan. Though the Season 24 lead has not sounded off on rumors he and his former co-star are dating, that hasn’t stopped the ABC series’ host and his girlfriend from sharing their thoughts on the potential relationship.

Speaking to People, Chris Harrison said he would be happy to learn any stars from Bachelor Nation had found love. “I would just say this, and not about any specific couple, but if any of these people can find love, if any of them find a great stable relationship that makes each other happy, then God bless them,” he said.

Harrison went on to point out that should Peter and Kelley actually be an item, it wouldn’t be the first time a lead has ended up with someone other than his initial winner via an “unconventional way.” (Arie Luyendyk Jr., anyone?)

“So, however you find it, when you run into it, if everybody’s happy and safe, man, good on you,” he added. “There’s no magic pill. So however these people find it, good on them and I wish them the best.”

Harrison’s girlfriend, TV personality Lauren Zima, also shared her thoughts on the potential “Bachelor” coupling. Noting the 2020 finale which showed Peter’s mother Barbara lash out at her son’s pick (Madison), Lauren said Kelley may stand a better chance.

“Kelley said that Barb was so excited to meet her [at ‘After the Final Rose’] and said she loved her so much,” Zima said. “And I think if we know anything about Peter, we know that his family is very important to him. His parents’ opinions are very important to him. So, if Mom loves Kelley, then maybe that means something.”

Peter and Kelley were spotted hanging out in public last week in her hometown of Chicago. They were not alone during the outing, though they were seen getting cozy in several photos captured by fans.

The two reality stars have yet to address the dating rumors.
