Bachelor alum Kelley Flanagan recently revealed on social media that she is single again. In a TikTok Story post, Flanagan shared that she had been disrespected for the past seven months and expressed gratitude for her followers who helped her realize the situation. She mentioned that her heart is shattered but she is thankful for the support of her fans and friends.
While Flanagan did not give details about the situation, she hinted in another TikTok video that she had been manipulated in the relationship. She reflected on how she initially thought her partner was a great person but later discovered a different side to him. Flanagan also responded to comments on social media, expressing surprise at the lack of remorse from her partner and his supporters questioning her character.
Flanagan later took to Instagram to thank her friend Kelsey Weier for her constant support through the challenges she was facing. Flanagan and Ari Raptis were last known to be in a relationship, which Raptis has not addressed publicly since December 2023. The two had debuted their relationship on Instagram in June 2023, following Flanagan’s previous relationship with Peter Weber.
Weber, who first met Flanagan before his season of The Bachelor began filming, had a complicated relationship journey with her. Despite a strong connection, Weber sent Flanagan home during his season in favor of other finalists. He then went on to propose to Hannah Ann Sluss before ending the engagement to pursue a relationship with Madison Prewett. After rekindling his romance with Flanagan in 2022, Weber and Flanagan have not publicly commented on their relationship status amid Flanagan’s recent single status.
As Flanagan navigates the challenges of a public breakup, she has found support in her fans, friends, and fellow Bachelor alums. She has been open about her struggles in her social media posts and has received messages of encouragement and solidarity from her followers. Flanagan’s situation highlights the complexities of relationships in the public eye and the importance of finding a strong support system during difficult times.
