The Bachelor alum Peter Weber has fueled speculation he's back on with ex-girlfriend Kelley Flanagan through his racy social-media activity.

Peter and Kelley, who broke up in February 2021, prompted rumors their romance may be back on when they were spotted together in public on multiple occasions earlier this month.

Peter, 31, and Kelley, 30, were photographed at a Chicago Cubs baseball game as well as walking through an airport.
On Sunday, Kelley took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself in a sexy pink mini-dress with nude high heels.

Kelley had her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, showing off her backless dress, and she captioned the image, "Sometimes you just need a change of altitude."
One fan commented on the picture, "Having impure thoughts Ms Hottie!"
And Peter, who "liked" the photo, simply responded to the fan, "Same."
Peter's flirtatious remark left The Bachelor fans wondering if Peter and Kelley are officially back together or if they're at least making strides in that direction.
In the same comment thread, another person wrote that she was happy Peter and Kelley have found their "way back together," and Peter also noticeably "liked" that comment, suggesting the pilot and Kelley are currently more than friends.

Kelley, for her part, did not respond to any of the comments on her post.
Back in May, Kelley described the downfall of her relationship with Peter.

While Kelley noted it wasn't "one specific thing" that led to their demise, she told Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo on the "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast, "I think it was just a lot of little things. You know what? Peter and I had a lot of fun, but I don't know if, like, I looked up to him in a way that I wanted to look up to my spouse."
Kelley elaborated on how she has that type of admiration for her brothers and her father.

"If I'm in a moment where I need some sound advice and I'm like, 'Okay, who can I go to advise me on this super important decision of my life?' Peter was just, like, fun and games," Kelley explained.
"I could go with him and have fun, but I just think I want more of a man that I look up to."
Kelley suggested that when she attempted to confide in the airline pilot, he wouldn't give her the type of advice that she had been looking for.
"I didn't look up to Peter in the way that I have always hoped to look up to my husband," Kelley reiterated.
When asked what qualities she was looking for in her future spouse, Kelley shared, "Someone who is super intelligent that can teach me things, like something new every day."

She clarified how Peter was "actually really smart when it came to aviation" and he "used to teach [her] a lot" when they'd go flying.
"Peter is smart, but I don't know. I think I just need someone who is a little more serious-natured," Kelley said.
At the time, Kelley hadn't "heard from" Peter or his mother Barbara Weber, who always seemed to like Kelley a lot.
Peter placed third on Hannah Brown's The Bachelorette season before starring as the Bachelor in 2020.
Peter and Kelley briefly met at a wedding venue before The Bachelor's 24th season began airing, so they wondered if their relationship was destined, but Kelley ended up placing fifth on Peter's season because she had trouble opening up and being herself on-camera.

Peter proposed marriage to model Hannah Ann Sluss during his The Bachelor finale, but he broke up with her while his season was airing in January 2020.
Peter proceeded to have a one-night fling with Hannah and then attempt to reconcile with his The Bachelor runner-up, Madison Prewett.
However, Peter and Madison's revived romance never really got off the ground when they talked about getting back together on his March 2020 After the Final Rose special. (Madison is now engaged to a man outside of Bachelor Nation named Grant Troutt, a speaker and aspiring pastor).
Peter and Kelley then quarantined together at the start of the coronavirus pandemic and went Instagram official in May 2020.
After eight months of dating, Kelley and Peter announced their split on New Year's Eve 2021.

However, the pair briefly reconciled and gave their relationship another shot, until Kelley and Peter's romance ended for good around Valentine's Day in February of last year.
Kelley said on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast in May 2021 that her relationship with Peter ended "really badly" and she had told Peter to "get out of my life and lose my number" when they split.
Kelley also insisted she'd "just run" from the children's book author -- whom she claimed has childlike-hobbies such as collecting Pokemon cards and playing video games -- if she ever bumped into him in the streets of New York.
Things turned nasty when Peter addressed Kelley's biting remarks during a May 2021 episode of his "Bachelors in the City" podcast, telling his listeners that Kelley seemed to be riding the fame wave and trying to push headlines with her "calculated and disingenuous" statements.
Kelley subsequently called Peter "extremely disrespectful" on social media, but she and Peter ultimately wished each other the best and moved on.
