Former Bachelor Peter Weber revealed that he has found new love in his life.
The reality TV personality, 33, announced that he is no longer single and shared some details about his very private relationship with a mystery woman during an appearance on iHeartRadio’s “The Ben & Ashley I. Almost Famous Podcast,” where he was asked whether he would ever consider taking another shot at being The Bachelor’s leading man.
“You are still single, so what would you think if they were to come to you again? This is, like, five years removed,” host Ashley Iaconetti said during the Tuesday, June 10, episode.
“Well, of course it would come out here. Actually, I am not single anymore. … This is very, very new. I’m blushing right now,” Weber replied.

The pilot said that his relationship is still “very fresh” and that he is trying “to keep it very private.”
Amid his new relationship, Weber noted that he wanted to “put any rumors aside for any Bachelor-type comeback.”
“Hopefully there is never the need for that because I am very excited and I am very hopeful, so we will see what happens,” he gushed.
Iaconetti, 37, asked for more details about how Weber, who recently moved back to Los Angeles, met his lucky lady.
“I was in New York for the last four years, and I, you know, [ex-girlfriend Kelley Flanagan] and I had gone back on-and-off a little bit during that time, but majority of it was all single, and you know, I always wanted a relationship. It’s no secret, obviously, but you know I was never going to be someone to force anything,” Weber responded.
He said that his friends “predicted” he was going to get into a relationship when he got back to L.A. While he didn’t reveal the woman’s identity, Weber did say he met her on the “first day” he moved back to L.A. and noted he did not meet her on a dating app. Instead, he said that he and the mystery woman had a “beautiful old-fashioned meetup” while he was “on a trip in L.A.”
The relationship admission came just two months after Weber and Flanagan, 33, had a reunion at Coachella. She shared an update on where their relationship stood and revealed that Weber said they were like siblings.

“Peter and I, we weren’t ever really awkward. We always got along. We were always great friends. I think he said something this weekend and he was like, ‘Kel, you’re like the sister I never had.’ And I was like, ‘OK, that’s maybe a little awkward,’” Flanagan told Us Weekly in April. “But we always get along and we definitely butt heads. So maybe it is a sibling thing. I don’t know how to compare it, but that’s what he said to me. I was like, ‘I’m a little creeped out by that one, but I also kind of understand what you mean.’”
Weber later addressed Flanagan’s comments on Tuesday’s podcast, clarifying that he does have a “solid friendship” with his ex. He said that there’s “no drama” between them as they have been “broken up for a while” and have had time to “heal.”
