Former Bachelor Peter Weber has a new love in his life.
The pilot gave fans a glimpse of his new girlfriend in a sweet photo dump shared via Instagram on Thursday, August 13. “Summer ‘26,” he wrote in the caption.
In one photo, Peter, 35, gazed lovingly at his new flame during a sunset moment. Another pic showed the couple posing with Peter’s family — including mom Barb and brother Jack. The final snap in the slideshow featured Peter’s girlfriend standing outside while holding a glow stick.
Peter did not tag his mystery woman or reveal her name, but friends celebrated the social media milestone in the comments section.
“The hard launch finally 👏,” fellow Bachelor Nation alum Luke Stone wrote, while Clay Harbor added three clapping emojis.
Peter’s family also showed their support. “Happiness is…❤️❤️,” his mom commented, with his brother writing, “Love this ❤️.”
Fans were introduced to the Weber family when Peter appeared on Hannah Brown‘s season 15 of The Bachelorette in 2019. He finished the season in third place before being named the lead for season 24 of The Bachelor.
During his season finale, which aired in 2020, Peter proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss after runner-up Madi Prewett sent herself home. The dramatic After the Final Rose special revealed that Peter and Hannah Ann had already ended their engagement. Peter admitted he still had feelings for Madi. The pair briefly reconnected, but they ultimately went their separate ways.
Peter went on to date Kelley Flanagan, who finished his season in fifth place. The duo were together on and off from 2020 to 2023.
The former reality star’s love life recently made headlines once again when Julie LaPlaca — who worked behind the scenes of the Bachelor franchise for seven years — shed new light on their alleged relationship in her book, The Love Producer. Julie recalled forming a close friendship with Peter during his Bachelor journey, with their connection taking a turn when they hooked up after filming wrapped.
In an exclusive interview with Us, Julie opened up about Peter’s response to the book, saying he “reacted from a place of fear.”
“I offered to let him read a copy, and instead he panicked … I hope when he reads it, he sees that it’s coming from the heart,” she said.
Peter, meanwhile, addressed Julie’s claims in an Instagram comment. “I’ve moved on from this period of my life and I’m ultimately responsible for my choices,” he wrote, in part. “What I’ll say is this: I asked Julie on multiple occasions to please keep private, intimate details, private. This wasn’t about a tv show anymore.”
He elaborated on his feelings in a separate statement to TMZ as the book hit shelves on July 7.
“I just find it ironic that Julie is coming out with a book all about finding your truth and searching for love, when the entire time I was trying to do just that on my season of The Bachelor, with her as my main confidant and guide throughout the process, her actions said otherwise,” he alleged.
Peter continued, “I am by no means a victim in all of this. I’m a grown man who is responsible for all of my actions, and I know that. That being said, going through an experience like I did involved a certain level of trust being given to people I really didn’t know that much about at the time.”
