As shown on The Bachelorette's Season 13 premiere, Peter, a 31-year-old personal trainer and business owner from Madison, WI, stepped out of a limo first to introduce himself to Rachel, and she called him "cute" when he walked away.

At the Rose Ceremony on Night 1, Rachel also handed Peter a rose before any of her other suitors.

Rachel and Peter's relationship is heating up, as the pair enjoyed the first one-on-one date of the season during last week's second episode.

Not only did Peter get to enjoy Rachel's company, but he also bonded with her adorable dog Copper during a playful outing to Bark Fest.
