Madi (Madison Prewett) and Peter (Weber), who connected during Peter's season of The Bachelor, ended their relationship shortly after the show's finale aired in March 2020, primarily due to differing values that became evident during the season.
The Genesis of Their Relationship and Its Challenges
Their journey on The Bachelor was marked by significant hurdles, particularly concerning their differing expectations for intimacy before marriage.
- Madi's Stance: Madison Prewett revealed later in the season that she intended to save herself for marriage. This deeply held belief was a crucial aspect of her personal values and a significant point of discussion in her relationship with Peter.
- Peter's Fantasy Suites: During the fantasy suites, Peter Weber was intimate with other contestants, specifically Hannah Ann Sluss and Victoria Fuller. This became a major point of contention and emotional distress for Madi upon learning the details.
- Madi's Departure: Confronted with Peter's intimacies, Madi chose to walk away from the show before the final rose ceremony, indicating that their fundamental differences were too significant to overcome at that point.
The Brief Post-Show Attempt and Ultimate Split
Despite Madi's initial exit, Peter ultimately pursued a relationship with her after his engagement to Hannah Ann Sluss concluded. They attempted to make their relationship work in the public eye after the finale aired.
However, this reconciliation was short-lived:
- Rapid Breakup: Madi and Peter officially called it quits shortly after the final episode aired in March 2020. The complexities and differing values that surfaced during the show proved to be insurmountable for their relationship.
- Peter's Reflection: Reflecting on their time together, Peter Weber openly shared that dating Madi was the "most difficult experience" he had encountered.
