The Bachelor’s Kelley Flanagan opens up about her breakup with Peter Weber

The Bachelor‘s Kelley Flanagan took to Instagram on Sunday to delve into detail about her recent parting with Peter Weber.

‘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…,’ the 28-year-old reality star wrote in a post. ‘It saddens me to say this but Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways.

‘Peter and I had some unbelievable times together and they will definitely be missed. Unfortunately him and I are in two different stages of our lives and saw our future paths differently.’

Flanagan made clear she bore no ill will toward the pilot, 29, in the wake of their parting, saying, ‘I wish Peter the absolute best and want to thank everyone for your continued support as I move on to my next chapter.’

Amid the former couple’s planned relocation to Manhattan, the Chicago native said, ‘I’m still hoping to make it to New York one of these days, but for now I just want to focus on my happiness! 2021, I can’t wait to see what you have in store!’

Weber, who left an emoji of a red heart on Flanagan’s post, said on Wednesday that they had parted.

‘Love is a funny thing. It can make you 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,’ he said in an Instagram post. ‘While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn’t work out in the end. Kelley is someone I will always have a special love for.

‘Someone I have learned more from than she will ever understand. Someone I am so thankful came into my life and someone who I will always wish all of life’s greatest blessings on. 

‘These moments in life always hurt, but in my opinion that shows you it was worth the time you spent together. Thank you Kelley.

During Weber’s run on The Bachelor last year, Flanagan left the show in the seventh week; he initially selected Hannah Ann Sluss but their engagement collapsed amid his romantic attraction to Madison Prewitt. He was first linked to Flanagan last April.
