Peter Weber: Here’s Why I Fell In Love With Kelley Flanagan …

It may not have made for the most compelling season of television.

In fact, there’s much to be said for the argument that Peter Weber wasted everybody’s time.

But in the end, the show accomplished its stated goal, as Peter found love on The Bachelor.

Of course, he started dating Kelley Flanagan several weeks after the cameras stopped rolling, and only after proposing to someone else.

Not exactly the fairy tale ending producers had in mind. 

But the important thing is, Peter and Kelley eventually found their way back to one another.

Of course, they also met — and probably hooked up — before the season began filming, so they could have saved a lot of time by just entering a relationship right then and giving the Bachelor gig to Mike Johnson or somebody.

But we digress.

Anyway, Peter and Kelley are quarantining together in Chicago these days, and thanks to their endless TikTok posts and Cameo.videos, it’s been pretty easy to keep tabs on the couple.

In his latest Cameo, Weber took what was supposed to be a birthday greeting for a teenager and turned it into some word salad nonsense about why he picked Flanagan.

“You guys want some inside scoop here on why I ultimately picked Kelley? All right, here’s what I can do,” he explained in the clip.

“To be completely honest, I think just the nature of the show definitely works and I’ve said that since day one,” Peter added.

“I still believe it works, but I think specifically for the type of relationship between, you know, Kelley and myself just wasn’t the most organic type of situation for us if it was going to actually work. And that’s OK, that’s totally OK because each relationship is different.”

Weber went on to quote his grandmother in Spanish, something he obviously believes creates the illusion of depth.

“No matter what happens, let the waters run. That’s essentially what it says in Spanish,” he said afterward.

“What’s meant for you [and] what’s yours will always be yours, and nothing can ever change that,” he added.

“So obviously we’ll see what the future holds for Kelley and I, but I think it’s a beautiful story, definitely a beautiful love story of what’s yours is yours and it will always come back to you, no matter what.”

At one point in the video, Peter was joined by Kelley, and the two of them sang “Happy Birthday” to the teen, thus proving they didn’t completely forget the point of the clip.

“That’s kind of always been our relationship. We’ve kept coming back in each other’s lives,” Weber said of Flanagan.

“So the way I look at it, [it’s] definitely an unorthodox way [of finding love] but [it] definitely worked in the end.”

Yeah, the more direct route would have spared a lot of people a lot of heartbreak, but we’re happy for these two anyway.

But maybe going forward, producers should implement a stricter vetting process to make sure no one is in love before filming even begins.

Peter Weber’s Ex Calee Lutes: SO Glad I Didn’t End Up With That Mess!

With all the controversies surrounding Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette, it’s easy to forger that Peter Weber was caught up in a mini-scandal of his own.

Along with several of Brown’s other contestants, Peter was revelaed to have secret girlfriend waiting for him at home while he competed for Hannah’s heart.

It seems there are two main reasons why this wasn’t treated as quite as big a deal as when Jed Wyatt’s girlfriend was revealed to the world:

1. Peter didn’t win the season, and he didn’t propose to Hannah, so he was able to run some damage control before he re-emerged into the spotlight, his “nice guy” image fully intact.

2. The girlfriend, Calee Lutes, decided not to press the issue.

To be fair, she and Peter were not as serious as Jed and his now-ex, who were reportedly considering marriage when he auditioned for the show to help “promote his music.”

But the fact is, Peter had someone waiting for him at home while he was banging Hannah four times in a windmill, which seriously adds to the guy’s already-considerable ick factor.

These days, of course, Peter is dating Kelley Flanagan, and the many women whom he’s broken up with in the past year are being widely congratulated on their freedom.

Fortunately, this list includes Calee.

“You dodged a bullet with Peter and his manac [sic] self!!! Praise God for better journey for you hon,” one follower wrote on Calee’s Instagram this week, as reported by In Touch.

Having already moved on from Peter, Calee clearly didn’t want to indulge in too much trash-talk.

But she still made it abundantly clear that she’s very happy she didn’t wind up with him.

“You’re right about that. Thank you!” Lutes responded to the remark,

”Peter is the worst kind of manipulator … so sorry you were hurt by him, but you are smarter and stronger now,” another commenter wrote.

Lutes replied simply, “Ahh, thank you!!!”

It certainly doesn’t seem that Calee is not too broken up about her experience with Peter over the past year.

But it also seems like she’s not the guy’s biggest fan these days, either.

After all, it can’t be easy to watch your most recent ex entertain the affections of 30 singles on national TV.

On the other hand, it must be sort of fun when the entire nation realizes he’s kind of a douche and turns on him.

It’s anyone’s guess what will happen in Peter’s unexpected relationship with Kelley.

But one thing seems certain — Calee does not wish she were in Flanagan’s shoes right now.
