Your support makes all the difference.The Bachelor Peter Weber and Madison Prewett have ended their relationship two days after reuniting during the show’s finale.
On Thursday, the couple announced their decision to part ways on Instagram.
Beginning his post expressing his gratitude for the “incredible group of women” that competed on the show, Weber wrote: “Madi, thank you for your patience and unconditional love. You’re the epitome of a woman who carries herself with grace, stands by what she believes in, and loves wholeheartedly. That love is something I feel so grateful to have felt and will take a piece of that with me always going forward.”
“Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further,” Weber continued. “Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us.
“The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure.”
In the same caption, the pilot star of the dating show also took the opportunity to reflect on his relationship with contestant Hannah Ann Sluss, whom he was engaged to for a month after proposing during the finale of the show.
“Hannah Ann, you set an example for women everywhere a couple nights ago. You are such a strong, confident woman and you deserve all the love in the world. I accept full responsibility for my mistakes in our relationship and wish you only the best,” he wrote.
In a post shared to Prewett’s Instagram, the 23-year-old also expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to be on the show, adding: “As Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways, I am confident that we will both move in the direction of our purpose and never forget that God has a plan in all things. I will always love and respect him. I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did.”
“You are an amazing guy and I’m thankful for you,” she wrote. “I will always be your biggest fan.”
The couple’s separation comes after Weber’s mother, Barbra, shared her disapproval over her son’s relationship with Prewett during the show’s live finale.
"Everyone that knows him knows it's not going to work," Weber's mother had said.
Following the news of the breakup, fans of the couple shared their support for both Weber and Prewett.
