Peter Weber, former lead of “The Bachelor,” has responded to speculations about his relationship with his “Traitors” co-star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, Weber revealed that Cülcüloğlu has become one of his best friends from the show. However, when asked if their dynamic may be more than platonic, Weber maintained that they are just friends at this point. Despite his denial, Weber’s declaration that he is not blushing suggests that he may be smitten with Cülcüloğlu.

Fans began suspecting a romance between Weber and Cülcüloğlu after the reality star posed for a photo with Weber’s mother, Barbara Weber, and sister-in-law, Kristine Weber. Barbara, who gained attention during her son’s search for love on “The Bachelor,” has been vocal about her affections for Cülcüloğlu, often leaving sweet comments on her Instagram posts. When reminded that it is difficult to gain Barbara’s seal of approval, Weber admitted that it was true.

Weber further revealed that Cülcüloğlu is currently in London filming “Big Brother.” He expressed gratitude for their friendship and described it as one of the most beautiful friendships to come out of the show. Despite their distance, Weber plans to reunite with Cülcüloğlu once her stint on “Celebrity Big Brother” concludes. He mentioned that Cülcüloğlu visits the United States frequently, and as he lives in New York, they are likely to see each other.

While Weber did not explicitly confirm a romance with Cülcüloğlu, he expressed his hopes of finding his final rose recipient in 2024. He described this year as incredible and has high hopes of meeting the right person.

As for Cülcüloğlu, she recently announced her split from ex Davide Sanclimenti on her Instagram Stories. She won Season 8 of “Love Island” alongside Sanclimenti but has been single for nearly two months.

Weber’s relationship history includes proposing to Hannah Ann Sluss during his “Bachelor” finale, having a brief fling with runner-up Madison Prewett, and dating contestant Kelley Flanagan outside of the show. However, his relationship with Flanagan ended for good in May 2023.

“The Traitors” Season 2, which features Weber and Cülcüloğlu, is available for streaming on Peacock.
