Kelley Flanagan made her relationship with Ari Raptis public via Instagram, two months after her split with ex-boyfriend Peter Weber. The 31-year-old attorney shared a photo of the couple dressed in formalwear at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.

Kelley Flanagan took to Instagram earlier this month to share a photo of herself in a stunning black gown at her sister Pamela's wedding. In her caption, she hinted that she brought Raptis as her date to the nuptials and expressed her excitement at being her sister's maid of honor. "I'm honored to stand by you on your most special day. Love you sissy," wrote the former reality star on June 8.

This marks the first time that Raptis has made an appearance on Flanagan's social media accounts. While it is unclear how long they have been together, Weber confirmed back in April that he and Flanagan had ended their relationship. At a beauty convention in Calgary, Canada, the pilot made a joke about still searching for his future wife. When an attendee pointed out that he was still single, Weber responded with a playful remark, "I am. First time here."

A source who was familiar with the situation confirmed to us that Flanagan and Weber had called it quits. The two reality TV stars first met just before filming for the 24th season of The Bachelor began in 2019, but it wasn't until they reunited on set that they really hit it off. Despite their connection, Weber ultimately eliminated Flanagan during week 7 and went on to propose to Hannah Ann Sluss in the season finale. However, their engagement was short-lived as Weber quickly broke things off to pursue a relationship with runner-up Madi Prewett. Unfortunately, that relationship also fizzled out just three days later.

Weber and Flanagan were first rumored to be dating in April 2020, after reconnecting at the Super Bowl two months earlier. According to an insider at the time, the couple was dating but not ready to publicly acknowledge their relationship. Flanagan had been keeping a low profile since her incident with Weber while walking on the Riverwalk in Chicago, and wanted to avoid scrutiny from the public.

However, in January 2021, Weber confirmed that he and Flanagan had ended their relationship. Despite their differences, Weber expressed his love for Flanagan and the fondness his family had for her.

Us later confirmed that the couple had rekindled their relationship after a brief split, with sources revealing that Peter was seeking a serious commitment and his feelings for Kelley had remained strong. The two are currently happy and excited about the future of their relationship.
