His time on The Bachelor was marked by unforgettable moments, like his mom, Barbara Weber, who had a heavy hand in who her son chose, and the love triangle between Pete and his two runner-ups, Hannah Anne Sluss and Madison Prewett.
Since then, Pete's remained in the public eye. His day job is as a pilot, first for Delta Airlines, and now, for United Airlines. Pete has also continued his reality television career, appearing on The Traitors season 2 and now, on Destination X, a brand-new NBC reality show that plants 10 strangers in an unknown locale as they're tasked with trying to figure out "where the X they are," as the show's tagline states. Pete, along with Love Island's JaNa Craig, is competing, as well as Josh Martinez from The Challenge and Big Brother.
Peter's Journey On The Bachelor
Pete's Mom Became Part Of The Story
Pete was a welcome choice for lead on The Bachelor, since audiences came to really root for him during his Bachelorette stint with Hannah Brown.
Pete didn't end up getting the girl on that show, so fans were thrilled when he signed on to be The Bachelor.
Apparently, Hannah B. and Pete found themselves at the same party in February 2020, as his season was airing. They hooked up, but Hannah B. said there wasn't any chemistry between them. Hannah B. also made an appearance on his season, as she and Pete worked through some unfinished business. Hannah alleged that Pete wanted her to join the cast and compete for him, and he said he'd quit the show if she told him she wanted to be with him.
It wasn't meant to be, and Pete put his past with Hannah B. aside as he continued his Bachelor journey, choosing from 30 women, including Hannah Anne (to whom he gave the show's "first impression rose"), Madison, Kelley Flanagan, Alayah Benavidez, Victoria Paul, Kelsey Weier, Jade Tolbert, Victoria Fuller, and more. Pete whittled down the contestants to the top four: Kelsey, Victoria, Madison, and Hannah Anne. Eventually, it was down to just Madison and Hannah Anne, and someone very important to Pete helped him make his final choice.
Peter Dated Kelley Flanagan Post-Show
Kelley Was A Contestant On His Season
Things got even messier in Pilot Pete's love life after things with Madison didn't work out either. Who did Pete turn to, after losing Hannah Brown, Hannah Anne, and Madison? None other than Kelley, another contestant on his season whom he sent home just before the show's hometown visit episodes. It's getting hard to keep track of Pete's love life, but he and Kelley dated for a few months after the show stopped airing in 2020, then rekindled again in 2022.
By 2023, Kelley and Pete were done again—or were they? In 2025, US Weekly reported that they were spotted together at Coachella. Pete shared a photo from Coachella to his Instagram, and Kelley is included in a group shot with other reality stars like Rachael Kirkconnell, Kyle Cooke, Joey Graziadei, and Maria Georgas. Perhaps the two are now on good terms and can spend time together as friends now.
Peter Was On The Traitors
Pete Was A Faithful
Pete's next reality TV stint came as he competed on The Traitors season 2. The Traitors is the wildly popular and addictive reality show that traps contestants in a Scottish castle with "Traitors" secretly hidden among them the "Faithful." The purpose of the game is to suss out the Traitors while keeping as many Faithfuls around as possible, and in the end, hopefully a faithful ends up winning a cash prize.
Pete played a tough game during his season of The Traitors, becoming one of the season's standout players. Fans were surprised at Pete's game-playing strategy (did they not watch him on The Bachelor?) and his ability to put himself out there as a target. Pete was a Faithful all along, but he played an impressive, aggressive game. He was ultimately sent home during episode 9, meaning he managed to stay on the show for a lot longer than most.
Pete's fate came down to a choice between himself and Traitor Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, but he was eliminated after a tie-breaking vote was cast by Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes "MJ" Javid. As he revealed his status as a Faithful, Pete told the rest of the cast, "I know I've been all gas, no breaks since the beginning. I'm a Faithful 'til the end. I tried to save you guys."
Peter Is Now Competing In The New Reality Series Destination X
Pete's Pilot Skills Will Be Put To Good Use
According to Pete's official Destination X bio, Pete will be able to use his piloting skills to good use.
"With advanced navigational skills and an expertise in reading maps, Peter plans to use his talents to leverage allies and get ahead in the competition."
Pete's time on The Traitors equipped him with game-playing strategies and tactics that will also no doubt further his time on the show. He's an expert at navigating the challenges of finding love and Traitors on television, so audiences will be excited to watch him figure out "where the X he is" on Destination X.
