Bachelor alum Kelly Flanagan he appears to be single as well.
“I know many of you have been curious about my dating life and I tried to keep things private for a while,” Flanagan, 32, wrote in an expired TikTok Story post on Thursday, November 14. “I thought about working on it. away from social media would help but sometimes things don’t go as planned.”
He went on to say, “I found out that I was not respected much in the last seven months and if it wasn’t for all of you (my fans) and girls girls girls, I would have been living in the dark and unknown.” “
Flanagan also noted that his “heart is broken” but he was “very grateful” for the gathering of his supporters.
While the reality TV alum didn’t reveal the specifics of what happened, more exclusive media uploads teased that it was surprising.
“I didn’t know this was going to be my story,” Flanagan said in a Friday, November 15, TikTok video of her applying makeup.
The video was edited to the audio of another user, who narrated: “He changed f— he took me out. I really thought he was this great dude because, for the first four months of our relationship, he was. That’s the one he showed me. That’s what I thought. That’s the one I fell in love with. I fell in love with this absent person.”
Flanagan later responded to a social media commenter asking why “there are so many without them.”
Not every Bachelor Nation breakup is a rose. Colton Underwood and his winner of the Bachelor season 23, Cassie Randolph, for example, vowed to remain friends when they went public with their separation in May 2020. Things quickly turned sour after Colton hid Cassie’s decision to do an interview with Chris Harrison during a meeting. […]
“You would think they would show remorse, but instead, he has his people defending him and questioning my character,” Flanagan replied.

“To my friend who is always there, no matter what life is like – thank you for being there for me through it all,” Flanagan wrote on Saturday. “I appreciate you more than words can say.”
Flanagan, a former lawyer turned social media influencer, ended up in a relationship with her Ari Raptis. (He did not talk about their relationship status, finally posting about their relationship in December 2023.) Flanagan had started their relationship on Instagram in June 2023, two months after Weber, 33, confirmed their separation.
Weber first met with Flanagan just before his season Bachelor started filming in 2018, and was surprised to get into the big house. Despite the useless connections of Bachelor Nation, Weber sent Flanagan home in favor of his relationship with the winners Hannah Ann Sluss again Madison Prewett.
When Weber proposed to Sluss, 28, she quickly ended their engagement to rekindle her romance with Prewett, 28. Their reunion was also short-lived and Weber later got back together with Flanagan in 2022.
Us Weekly has reached out to Flanagan and Raptis for comment.
