Kelley Flanagan Hints She’s Single Again, Was ‘Highly Disrespected’

The Bachelor alum Kelley Flanagan is seemingly single again.

“I know many of you have been curious about my dating life and I tried to keep things private for a while,” Flanagan, 32, wrote in a since-expired TikTok Story post on Thursday, November 14. “I thought working on it away from social media would have helped but sometimes things don’t go as planned.”

She continued, “I found out that I was being highly disrespected for the past seven months and if it wasn’t for all of you (my followers) and girls being girls’ girls, I would have stayed in the dark and never known.”

Flanagan further noted that her “heart is shattered” but was “so grateful” for her circle of supporters.

While the reality TV alum did not reveal specificities of what transpired, an additional special media upload teased it was surprising.

“I didn’t realize this was going to be my story,” Flanagan captioned a Friday, November 15, TikTok video of herself applying makeup.

The footage was set to another user’s sound, who narrated: “He manipulated the f— out of me. I truly thought he was this great dude because, in the first four months of our relationship, he was. That’s who he showed me. That’s what I thought. That’s who I fell in love with. I fell in love with this person that doesn’t exist.”

Flanagan later responded to a social media commenter asking where there are “so many of them out there.”

“You’d think they would show some remorse, but instead, he’s got his people defending him and questioning my character,” Flanagan replied.

Taking to her Instagram later on Saturday, Flanagan also shouted out fellow Bachelor alum Kelsey Weier’s support. (The two women met on Peter Weber’s season 24 of the ABC dating show.)

“To my friend who’s always there, no matter what life throws our way — thank you for being my constant through it all,” Flanagan wrote on Saturday. “I appreciate you more than words can say.”

Flanagan, a former attorney turned social media influencer, was last in a relationship with Ari Raptis. (He has not addressed their relationship status, last posting about their relationship in December 2023.) Flanagan had debuted their relationship via Instagram in June 2023, two months after Weber, 33, confirmed their own breakup.

Weber first met Flanagan shortly before his season of The Bachelor started filming in 2018, and he was surprised that she entered the mansion. Despite an effortless Bachelor Nation connection, Weber sent Flanagan home in favor of his respective relationships with finalists Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett.

While Weber proposed to Sluss, 28, he quickly broke off their engagement to rekindle his romance with Prewett, 28. Their reunion was short-lived and Weber later got back together with Flanagan in 2022.
