Please grab the nearest available pile of rose petals, a bandage dress, and a massive goblet of white wine, because we are dissecting all things The Bachelor. More specifically, the gentle bae known affectionately as Pilot Pete (aka Peter Weber), a man who went on a mission to find love no matter how many freak golfing accidents tried to stop him. Um, you probably know how this ended for him but SPOILER: Peter proposed to Hannah Ann, even though he was madly in love with Madi. Rude, we know.
Honestly, it should be no surprise that Peter’s love story concluded as tragically as it did. He came into The Bachelor with a whole bunch of baggage on his metaphorical airplane, and by “baggage,” I mean a handful of past relationships that totally influenced every single one of his decisions throughout the entire season. And now it appears that he hasn’t fully learned his lesson, as Peter is still out here breaking hearts. Time for a dramatic deep-dive on all of the women Peter Weber has dated.
Julie LaPlaca
Clearly nobody won Mr. Weber’s heart by the end of the show, but could that be because Peter had an undercover relationship with a Bachelor producer named Julie?! And could their fling have started during production? Proooobably not, but there has been some convincing evidence of chemistry brewin’ between these two since the season finale.
Fans realized that they spent New Year’s Eve together, though fine, there’s technically no photographic proof of a midnight kiss:
They were also spotted hanging at a winery together along with Peter’s mom, and it’s very obvious they have a close relationship.
Even Chris Harrison, our beloved Bachelor Nation King, admitted that he may not know all the answers. “It’s an intimate relationship,” he said in an interview with Access. “You spend that much time together, we all get close. Sometimes, those lines get blurred.” My tinfoil conspiracy hat is firmly on, tyvm.
Hannah Ann Sluss
Once upon a time, Peter got down on one knee and professed his love to Hannah Ann, saying, and I quote, “My heart chooses you forever. I love you, Hannah Ann. The love that you have shown me is all that I have ever wanted and I never want to let you go.”
Hannah Ann was a fan fave and for minute, it seemed like there could be a happy ending between the love-birds. But alas, we know that is not how their story ends. After learning that Peter still had feelings for Madi, Hannah Ann handed back her ring in an emotional farewell to a speechless Peter. This season was chockablock with confusion, but one thing is for certain, Hannah Ann and Pilot Pete are never, ever, ever getting back together.
To make matters worse, Hannah Ann deleted every single photo of her and Peter. There is literally no trace that Peter was ever a part of her life, according to her Insta. Interestingly enough, Peter never posted pics of any of the women from his season, including his ex-fiancée, although he did post a solo photo with a caption addressing his feelings towards Maddi and Hannah Ann (in that order respectively, cringe).
Madison Prewett
Madi was doing great for most of Peter’s season—until Fantasy Suites. After telling Peter that she was waiting to have sex until marriage, she kind-of-sort-of-this-is-still-up-for-debate gave him an ultimatum that she would leave if he had sex with Hannah Ann and Victoria. And, um, he did and so Madi left…but where did their love go?
Apparently the two tried to rekindle what could have been, but decided it would be best to go their separate ways given their different values and family dynamics. *Insert clip of Barb b*tching Madi out on live TV here.*
But wait, let’s pause on the following line from Madi’s March 13 Instagram: “I will always love and respect him.” Call me crazy, but I could totally see something happening a few years from now between these two. Only time will tell…
Kelley Flanagan
Kelley and Peter have *quite* the history. Reminder: They actually randomly met at a hotel before the show began, but Peter wasn’t feeling it and got major ~friend~ vibes. Also curious: Kelley didn’t score an invite to Women Tell All. This was likely up to the producers’ discretion, but still, you gotta wonder why.
But the fact remains that Peter’s mom Barb is ALL for Kelley. We know this because she fully slid into Kelley’s Instagram comments to say, “We need to do lunch and go shopping for the day.” Odd, but nothing Barb does surprises me anymore.
To make matters even more suss, Peter and Kelley were recently spotted hanging out in Chicago. Reality Steve secured the pics of their playdate, and let’s just say, they are not keeping six feet apart, despite the social distancing directive.

Er…maybe they’re self-isolating together? Whatever their deal is, it does not appear to be platonic.
Hannah Brown
I mean, obviously. Peter fell incredibly hard for Hannah Brown during The Bachelorette, where he windmill sexed his way to the final three. Sadly, Hannah broke up with Peter and he was absolutely crushed. Oddly enough, though, he wasn’t mad about losing, tearfully telling cameras, “I’ll never forget this journey, how beautiful it was in so many ways. I fell in love with her, and I swear I don’t regret anything. I know I have a ton of love to give, and I thought it would be Hannah.”
Peter ended up reuniting with Hannah on live TV, and honestly, if you can get through this clip without breaking down into tears alone in your bed with a plate of cheese (hi, me), then you might want to check to make sure you’re not a robot.
But as we all now know, Hannah showed up on his season of the show, and it didn’t go over well. She ended up leaving without him.
Calee Lutes
Okay, so yes: Peter is a Nice Guy™. But his past isn’t entirely drama-free. Peter’s model ex-girlfriend Calee Lutes came forward in an interview with Entertainment Tonight back in July 2019, in which she basically accused him of leaving her to go on the show.
According to Calee, she and Peter dated for five months after meeting through an app in June 2018. They went on multiple vacations, said “I love you,” and even talked about having kids. But things changed in December.
“We talked about plans for New Year’s and, of course, we wanted to spend it together, so I bought a ticket out to L.A.,” she said. “We also were planning a trip to Costa Rica in March. A few days later—two days before Christmas—we FaceTimed and he said that we should end our relationship before it got even more serious. He didn’t really have a reason why. I was devastated and completely blindsided. To do this right before Christmas was cruel. It not only ruined my Christmas but my family’s as well. I didn’t understand why it was so urgent to end things so suddenly.”

Calee said she looked at Peter’s Instagram and saw that a producer from The Bachelorette had recently followed him. “He immediately deleted EVERY trace of me on Instagram,” she said. “He deleted our pictures, which is expected, but he also untagged me from photos, deleted my comments from his page, and went as far as Unliking my photos/deleting his comments from my Instagram as well.”
Ultimately, Calee thinks Peter was interviewing for The Bachelorette while dating her, which…yikes!
The “Other Women”
On top of accusing him of dumping her for a shot at fame, Calee also made it known that she thinks Peter dated other women while they were together, telling ET, “If all this wasn’t bad enough, I’ve had multiple people reach out to me and tell me that he was seeing other women while we were exclusive.”
Peter hasn’t exactly denied this, but he did tell People, “I was very serious in trying to progress that relationship and move it forward. And she wasn’t on the same page as me. That being said, I wasn’t going to waste her time or my time. But the casting process and my first interview was months after we broke up. It’s obvious that I hurt someone that I really did care about. That was never my intention. And for that I’m sorry. Breakups suck!”
Merissa Pence
Before Peter went on hometown dates with his final few contestants, Reality Steve suggested his ex Merissa Pence, who Peter dated in 2012, would tell him all about Victoria F.’s “shady past.” You see, Merissa used to run in the same circles as Victoria and claimed that she had threatened her the first time they ever met.
Merissa told Us Weekly, “We became friends when I moved back from Los Angeles about three years ago. Our first encounter was that she told me she was going to slash my tires because I was hanging out with one of her ex-boyfriends.” And after Victoria was cast on the show, Merissa recounted that she started saying things like, “Do you know who I am?” Yowza.
His Mystery Girlfriend
We don’t know much about Peter’s dating life pre-Merissa Pence, but thanks to his original ABC bio, we do know he once “took a girl on a sunset flight to Santa Barbara for dinner.”
We also know Peter opened up to Hannah about a past relationship on The Bachelorette, and a bunch of people in the comments think he was talking about this girl:
Sure, this could be his cousin or something, but there’s a vibe. Plus, he seems to have his arm around her in this pic!
That’s all for now, but don’t be surprised if more of Pete’s exes are added because this heartbreaker is on a mission to find love, no matter what. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
