By Jackie Strause. Managing Editor, East Coast. Hannah Brown has managed to pull off two major reveals when it comes to her ex, new Bachelor Peter Weber. During the live finale of her season of The Bachelorette , the former ABC franchise lead announced to the world that she and Weber, her second runner-up, had sex an impressive four times while staying overnight in a windmill-themed room during the Fantasy Suites week of the dating competition.
And now, on the very first night of his turn as lead of the franchise, Brown once again catches him off guard when she shows up at the Bachelor Mansion, along with his 30 contestants. Once again, sparks seem poised to be flying between the former flames. What transpires between the exes will play out during the three-hour premiere and possibly beyond , but no matter the outcome, Weber wants viewers to know that what he and Brown had was not a made-for-TV romance.
That was a really real relationship and true feelings between two people who really cared about each other. You have become famous for your windmill adventures. Going back to that Bachelorette finale β did you know that Hannah Brown was going to reveal that you two had sex four times on live television?
I did not know that. That was definitely a surprise to me and caught me off guard β which I think was obvious from my reaction! Yes, that was a big part of our story last season, and people talk about it and I get that. But [our relationship] definitely meant a lot more than all the physical stuff that everyone talks about with the windmill. There was still a lot of chemistry between you and Brown during that finale last summer.
How unfinished were your feelings for her when you began filming your season later that fall? I thought that I was pretty much completely over her. I really did think that I was doing good. Some time had passed, obviously not that much, but I had a really good support system with my family and friends. I tried my best to close that book and just leave that in the past.
