Transcript

00:00I know there's a lot of healing that both of us have to do, but I know the love and the respect

00:05I have for you and that's never changed. Sadly, the turbulence continues for Pilot Pete. The

00:10Bachelor's Peter Weber and Madison Pruitt have called it quits. Just mere days since reuniting

00:16on the live finale stage where Peter revealed that he broke off his engagement to his final

00:20rose pick, Hannah Ann, in order to pursue a relationship with Madison, the two star-crossed

00:25lovers are now deciding to go their separate ways. Peter announced the news in an Instagram

00:29post where he began by thanking the group of women on his season and specifically called

00:34out Madison for her patience and unconditional love, adding,

00:38You're the epitome of a woman who carries herself with grace, stands by what she believes in,

00:42and loves wholeheartedly. But he continued with the sad news, saying,

00:46Maddie and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further. Believe me, this was

00:51not easy for either of us to be okay with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed

00:56that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Maddie will

01:01continue to endure. He finished his post by thanking Bachelor Nation for being by his side,

01:06saying,

01:06This has been an emotional experience and I am so grateful for the outreach of support that I've

01:11received from friends, family, and Bachelor Nation in the last few days. This is just another chapter in

01:17my story, one I will never forget and one I will always cherish. For her part, Madison shared the news,

01:23saying in part, As Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways, I am confident that we will both

01:28move in the direction of our purpose and never forget that God has a plan in all things. I will

01:33always love and respect him. I am convinced our pads were meant to cross and we are both better

01:37because they did. Now to be fair, it seems the couple never stood a chance considering the rocky

01:42road they had from the start. Madison self eliminated from the competition over their differences

01:47on intimacy, but ultimately decided to give him another shot after he broke off his engagement.

01:52However, the uphill battle continued on Bachelors after the final rose show where the couple received

01:57a very vocal disapproval from Peter's family. In one of the most shocking live finale moments in

02:02Bachelor history, Peter's mother Barbara, who was in the audience, fought with her son on live

02:07television in a heated exchange, expressing her disapproval of Madison, saying everyone knows

02:12the relationship is not going to work, and ending the episode on a real-life cliffhanger.

02:17Chris, he's going to have to fail to succeed. That's it.

02:22And it seems that Barbara Weber was right on the money. With the breakup news, here's to hoping

02:27our favorite pilot Pete has a less turbulent love life moving forward.
