The Bachelor’s Peter Weber ends up with Madison after proposing to Hannah Ann in season finale… and his mother Barbara is NOT happy

‘Peter, leave,’ Hannah Ann protested, holding up her hand. ‘Bye.’

Hannah Ann during the live show confessed she had known something was ‘off’ with Peter, and claimed he had manipulated her into trusting him.

She said Peter told her that letting her walk away would be one of the greatest regrets of his life, and after their breakup told her parents that he wished he had met her outside reality TV.

Peter also did not give her any indication that he still had feelings for Madison and did not disclose until the moment of the proposal that Madison had left the show.

‘I had no idea to what I was saying yes to,’ Hannah Ann pointed out.

Peter said he had been ‘grieving’ Madison’s departure and wanted to be sensible about choosing Hannah Ann, whom he knew loved him so much.

In response, Hannah Ann sniped that she should have seen ‘red flags’ when Peter said he wanted to reach out to his ex, Bachelorette star Hannah Brown, 25, to ‘find closure with her.’

‘Word of advice,’ she said. ‘If you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man.’

After Hannah Ann left the stage, show host Chris Harrison, 51, revealed that he had flown to Madison’s Auburn, Alabama, hometown to see if she still loved Peter.

Madison affirmed that she did, and called leaving the pilot ‘the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,’ telling Chris she couldn’t eat or sleep in the days after her decision.

She said she wished she’d done things differently, and when Chris told her that Peter was single again, she immediately agreed to meet with him in Los Angeles.

When she saw him, Madison told Peter she still had ‘so much love’ in her heart for him, and he said the same, acknowledging that he had made ‘a million and one mistakes.’

On the live show, the two of them testified again to their love, even though they had been ‘hurt’ and put ‘through the wringer’ for it.

‘I’ve made more mistakes than you could ever make as the Bachelor, but I’m still sitting on a couch next to you right now,’ Peter told Madison. ‘Through everything, that makes me happy.’

In the crowd, Barbara looked on stonily, telling Chris that she ‘clicked right away’ with sweet Hannah Ann, while her interaction with Madison had been ‘rocky.’

She said Madison made the Webers wait three hours to meet her in Australia, ‘because she didn’t want to come in,’ and never apologized to them.

‘When I asked her if she was madly in love with my son, she said no, and that she would not expect a proposal in four days,’ Barbara added. ‘How do you expect a mother who loves her son with all of her heart to take that?’

Asked for a response, Madison kept mum out of ‘love and respect for Peter’s family.’

‘At the end of the day, it is what it is,’ she opined. ‘Can’t change the past, and there’s a lot that is out of my control. I came into this journey and I said I was going to be unashamed of who I am and undeniably myself, and that is something I have done throughout this entire journey.’

Peter agreed, recognizing that his family’s concern came from ‘a place of love.’

‘I know how she feels for me, and I know how I feel for her,’ he told his parents. ‘And I just ask that you guys can give me that chance. And trust me.’

‘This is my journey, too,’ Madison insisted. ‘This isn’t just Peter choosing me. This is me choosing Peter.’

Chris asked Barbara how the family could ‘turn the page’ on their relationship with Madison.

‘He’s going to have to fail to succeed,’ Barbara said as the audience gasped, adding that none of Peter’s family members and friends thought it would work.

Chris asked Peter’s father for his thoughts and Barbara leaned over and told her husband in Spanish to also say something bad about Madison to help her.

Peter’s father focused on the obstacles facing them and noted that it wasn’t the right way to start a relationship. 

‘Honestly, this is about me and Peter, this is about our journey, this is something just he and I should be talking about,’ Madison reiterated.

As the show ended, Chris introduced Claire Crawley, 38, who will make her debut as the new Bachelorette on May 18, after previously being featured on four Bachelor-franchise shows.
