Peter Weber is continuing his reality TV journey by appearing on NBC’s Destination X, and here’s everything we know about him. Peter first came on the scene as a contestant on The Bachelorette season 15, where he finished in third place. Because he didn’t find love with Hannah Brown, Peter became the lead of The Bachelor season 24, making his mark as the only Bachelor lead in history to propose to the woman he gave the first impression rose to.
Although Peter proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss during The Bachelor season 24 finale, he broke up with her shortly after, and confessed his feelings to runner-up Madison Prewett. Peter’s love story didn’t end there, as he and Madison decided not to pursue a relationship. Instead, he dated the fifth-place contestant Kelley Flanagan, although they broke up less than a year later. Peter hasn’t limited his reality show appearances to dating shows. He was a contestant on The Traitors season 2, where Peter caused chaos among faithfuls and traitors alike. Now, he’s taking his talents to Destination X season 1.
Destination X: Peter Weber’s Age
Peter Is 33 Years Old
Peter was born on August 4, 1991, making him 33 years old. His early August birthday makes him a Leo, which could explain why he’s so eager to participate in reality TV shows. According to Cosmopolitan, “Leos love to lead, perform, talk, be admired and receive the praise and respect of others.” Peter has definitely shown that he likes being in the spotlight.
Peter was born in Fairfax, Virginia but largely grew up in Florida and California. For his hometown date with Hannah Brown, Peter took her to Westlake Village, California to meet his parents. Peter graduated from high school in 2009 from Oaks Christian School.
Destination X: Peter Weber’s Job
Peter Is A Pilot
Peter is often referred to by the moniker Pilot Pete due to his career with United Airlines. Peter had attended Baylor University, but dropped out before graduating in order to pursue his dream. He worked for Compass Airlines for three years before switching to Delta Air Lines. Peter worked for Delta until 2021, when he took a job with United.
Flying is in Peter’s DNA.
Peter’s father is also a pilot, as is his younger brother. To top it off, his mother was a flight attendant. However, despite ultimately following in his family’s footsteps, Peter tried a different career as a child: acting. He appeared in one episode of Days Of Our Lives in 2003.
Peter has made reality TV his second career. While it’s unlikely he’ll ever give up flying, Peter clearly isn’t afraid to take time off and film a show. So far, Peter has been featured on four reality shows, and he shows no signs of slowing down. It’s possible we’ll see Peter on more shows in the future, such as The Challenge or The Amazing Race, two shows that often feature reality TV alums.
