Peter Kraus and Bibiana Julian Are Reportedly Dating, and I'm Thrilled


Happy days are here again, because Peter Kraus—a.k.a Hot Peter from Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette—and Bibiana Julian, Winter Games queen and contestant from Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s Bachelor season, are reportedly dating.

This news comes from E!, which reports exclusively the two reality stars are “casually” seeing each other. They were spotted at a Miami Heat game on Tuesday, December 4 (in Bibiana’s hometown of Miami) and have actually been friendly for a while now. “Most recently [they] started hanging out alone,” a source reveals. “There is definitely a romantic connection there.”

“It’s very new and they are seeing how things go,” adds the source. “It’s hard because their relationship is long distance, but they are trying to see how things pan out and are definitely into each other.”

I ship this hardcore—more than I’ve shipped any Bachelor couple. In fact, I’ve never really shipped a Bachelor couple until this moment. JoJo Fletcher? A legend, but I was never invested in her love life. Nick Viall? Cared more about his tenure on Dancing With the Stars than his final rose. Peter and Bibiana, though? Wow. If they’re actually a couple, I never have to find love.

Below, a video of Hot Peter and Bibiana sitting together at the Miami Heat game:

Peter Kraus, as we all remember, was an icy-haired dream on Rachel’s season of The Bachelorette who just wanted to drink wine and paint. Who doesn’t want to drink wine and paint?! Now Bibiana gets to drink wine and paint with Peter as he just sits there with his sexy teeth gap and broad shoulders. It’s a modern-day Nicholas Sparks novel.

And it’s what Bibiana deserves. She was put through the ringer on Bachelor Winter Games and Arie’s season. Remember the romantic love nest she set up for Arie that he cuddled in with another girl? Peter would never do that! He’s too busy figuring out Bibiana’s pinot grigio of choice and booking them a session at Color Me Mine. Please let this be real!

Bibiana’s rep had no comment.

Peter Kraus Is Returning to 'The Bachelor'—But Not in the Way You Want


When news broke that Arie Luyendyk Jr.—and not Peter Kraus—is going to be the next Bachelor, the response was…tepid, to say the least. It’s unclear why ABC ultimately chose a contestant from years ago as opposed to one of the fan favorites from Rachel Lindsay’s season—including Kraus—but it’s happening. Rumors floated around that producers actually wanted Kraus to be the next suitor, but his unwillingness to commit to a proposal at the end did him in.

Creator Mike Fleiss added fuel to the fire when he tweeted, “Do we really want a Bachelor who isn’t ready to settle down with a woman he loves? Hmmm. Not what #thebachelor is all about.” Many people took this to be about Kraus, furthering the narrative all was not well between him and ABC.

But if this is true, it’s water under the bridge now. Fleiss took to Twitter last night to announce Kraus is, in fact, returning to the Bachelor franchise—just not in the way you think. The gap-toothed wonder is joining the inaugural cast of The Bachelor Winter Games, a spinoff series, which kicks off during the Winter Olympics.

Never heard of it? Here’s a quick synopsis: ABC describes the show as a romance competition that takes place at a luxury ski resort, where previous contestants “go head-to-head in winter-themed athletic challenges, including the toughest sport of all: love.”

“Yes, Peter will be looking for love—and going for the gold—on #TheBachelor Winter Games!!!!” Fleiss tweeted. Check it out for yourself, below:

On the one hand, this is exciting: Peter Kraus is returning to our TV screens. But on the other, WTF? Kraus needs to be the star of his own show, not just in an ensemble of random hot people snowboarding and making out. Every time he’s not on the screen, people are just going to think, “Where’s Peter? We need more Peter.” I’d literally watch him read a phonebook for an hour. That’s the spinoff we really need, ABC. But we suppose this will do—for now. It is more Hot Peter, after all.

This Tweet Has Everyone Thinking Peter Kraus Isn't the Next 'Bachelor'


A huge portion of Bachelor Nation was annoyed after Rachel Lindsay gave her final rose to Bryan Abasolo. But the silver lining to this was Peter Kraus—sweet, amazing, perfect Peter—became an option for the next Bachelor. And fans really wanted this to happen! With his gapped teeth and his wine nights and his realistic love timeline, Kraus is the Bachelor America desperately needs but doesn’t deserve. I’m not kidding when I say #MakePeterTheBachelor became a battle cry just seconds after The Bachelorette ended.

But it looks like this isn’t happening. Mike Fleiss, the creator of The Bachelor (and, ironically, the producer of two Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes), tweeted a vague-but-pointed message Thursday (August 17) that seems to suggest Kraus isn’t our next suitor. “Do we really want a Bachelor who isn’t ready to settle down with a woman he loves? Hmmm. Not what #thebachelor is all about,” Fleiss wrote. See it for yourself, below:

Granted, this tweet doesn’t call out Kraus by name or confirm anything directly, but read between the lines. Kraus’ entire storyline this season was that he loved Rachel and was ready for a serious relationship—but he didn’t want to propose. Kraus needed more time, but Lindsay wanted a ring. This ultimately drove the couple apart.

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are shows that sell a very particular type of fairytale—and that fairytale, typically, ends with an engagement. If Kraus isn’t willing to go there—or at least fake it, let’s be honest—then it probably knocks him out of the running. In this tweet, “settle down” is most likely code for “proposing”—something we know Kraus isn’t keen on doing after just a few weeks. Ergo, The Bachelor (probably) isn’t in his immediate future. Noooo!

People magazine confirmed this even more in its story about Fleiss’ tweet. The magazine spoke to a source who says, yes, Fleiss’ message is “absolutely” aimed at Kraus.

“Peter is every Bachelor producer’s worst nightmare: the perfect guy who cannot be coerced into proposing at the end,” the source told People. “The fact that no one could talk Peter into buckling under and just giving her the ring—and that he wouldn’t play along—absolutely enraged the higher-ups at the show. Including Fleiss, definitely. He is totally on their s— list forever, and there is no way they will reward him with a shot at The Bachelor. No way.”

It should be a crime to use “Peter” and “nightmare” in the same sentence, to be honest.
