Peter Weber has revealed he signed up for The Bachelor because he’s a “hopeless romantic” and wanted to “document” his love story for generations to come.
The airline pilot was on Season 15 of The Bachelorette, then in 2020 he was picked to be the main star on The Bachelor. He ended up popping the question to model Hannah Ann Sluss and it seemed he had found “The One.”
However, their romance didn’t go the distance and they went their separate ways. While this year he was linked to his Traitors co-star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – who was on Love Island in the UK – it’s thought he is still single.
Explaining why he did The Bachelor, he said on the Amy & T.J. podcast: “I was 26 or 27 when I got a DM from a producer for the show to apply. And I kind of just like went with it. I had just gotten out of a relationship so I was like, ‘Alright this could be kind of perfect timing.’
“The main reason that I decided to say yes and I wanted to do it, this may sound crazy but I just thought that it would have been… like obviously reality TV can be odd and can be tough and there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that maybe isn’t super, super organic like a normal relationship. But I thought how cool would it be, the hopeless romantic in me was like, how cool would it be to have your love story, like hopefully it works out and it’s successful but if it is, how cool would it be to have that entire story documented.
“And now for long after I am gone and generations way after me and everything, would be able to look back and watch that love story and how it developed, how it progressed and what it became from that one moment. And all the generations after me could be able to enjoy that and appreciate it.”
“It didn’t happen,” he joked. “But that was honestly the main reason. It’s not like I was completely convinced that it was reality TV, that’s how I was going to find my person.”
Weber also discussed how he hasn’t had many romances that have lasted for long. “My longest relationship without ever having a break or a split has maybe been a year and a half, like, approaching two years,” he said.
“Not necessarily something that I’m proud of, that’s just the truth. Don’t, I guess, really know exactly why that is.”
“Maybe I have expectations that aren’t necessarily obtainable,” the TV star mused.
Newsweek has emailed representatives for Weber for comment.
