The Bachelor

Former "Bachelor" Peter Weber allegedly hooked up with his main producer when his season was still airing ... and just days before rekindling his flame with Kelley Flanagan.

The bombshell claim comes courtesy of former "Bachelor" producer Julie LaPlaca, who spills all the behind-the-scenes tea in her new memoir, "The Love Producer," where she says the longtime friendship between her and Pilot Pete turned romantic in early 2020, when speculation first cropped up.

According to Julie, the two slept together after Peter's engagement to Hannah Ann Sluss had already imploded off-camera ... with their alleged hookup taking place at his parents' house while the show was still airing. She even compares the night to a real-life Fantasy Suite.

'Bachelorette' alum DeAnna Pappas claims she's been living off her savings since losing her job in 2025 ... something she revealed in new docs filed in her never-ending divorce battle with her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano.

DeAnna filed an income and expense declaration in the court battle, claiming her average monthly income from her work as a flight attendant is $2,618.

She said her work is not consistent at the moment. DeAnna added that she is paid $1,500 per month by Stephen as spousal support. DeAnna said she earned $0 from her podcast last month.

Before this kiddo from Birmingham, Alabama, was on reality television, she was soaking up the summer sun, rockin' her purple swimsuit ... and competing in beauty pageants.

The blondie in question appeared on Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor," but she found love on "Bachelor in Paradise."

She's definitely a Coachella/Revolve girlie ...

"The Bachelorette" star DeAnna Pappas' ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano, denies he committed fraud or intentionally concealed assets from her in their divorce ... TMZ has learned.

In court docs, Stephen fired back at DeAnna’s claims that he withdrew a bunch of money from his retirement account, which she was owed a cut of.

Stephen admits he withdrew money from the account, but said he needed it to pay living expenses, including bills for his kids. He said he did not believe and was not aware he "was violating the court’s orders or acting improperly.”

Casting for the next 'Bachelor' is in overdrive ... and among the men under consideration to be the next face of the franchise are contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul's shelved 'Bachelorette' season.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... an undisclosed number of guys from TFP's run are definitely being eyed ... and dual auditions are ongoing for both the next leading man -- and his group of would-be singles. The hunt for the next 'Bachelor' leading lad kicked off a few weeks ago.

A production source tells us ... shooting "The Bachelor" Season 30 may be pushed until next Janurary -- it usually shoots in the fall, but nothing is set in stone. Even if production is pushed ... we're told the show is still expected to premiere in early 2027, as previously announced.

Corinne Olympios tied up loose ends -- and her bikinis strings -- with a social media drop that has us absolutely shook!

The 34 year old flaunted an animal print bikini while boat-chilling out on the open blue.

Safe to say, the 'Bachelor' alum knew exactly what she was doing -- serving sun, skin, and scroll-stopping energy in every shot.

Boots, beats and bangin' bods brought to you by sexy stars at Stagecoach, like Sommer Ray -- who's turnin' up the desert temps like a total bae ...

Erica Rose is feeling good ... because she's got some big things going on in her personal and professional life right now.

We caught up with "The Bachelor" alum in Beverly Hills ... after a check-up with Dr. Payman Danielpour on her new boob job ... and she tells us she is BUSTing with joy over her Motiva implants.

The reality TV personality and lawyer tells us ... she wanted a boob job because she was feeling a little flat after breastfeeding her two daughters. So bada bing, bada boom -- new boobs!

This season of "The Bachelorette" may be toast ... but that clearly doesn't mean some footage won't be seen.

An Instagram user posted footage she shot of Taylor Frankie Paul on a date with one of her suitors, walking along a beach that apparently was all theirs for the day.

There was some debate as to who the guy was ... the person who posted said it was Doug Mason ... but others in the comments said it was Casey Hux.

Taylor Frankie Paul won't be setting sail with a bunch of 'Bachelor' fans ... because her surprise appearance on a 'Bachelor' cruise ship has been canceled.

Sources close to the event tell TMZ … organizers planned to add Paul to the "Bachelor Nation Vacation at Sea" website Monday -- just one day after the new season would've premiered -- to announce her as a special guest. However, we're told organizers had scrapped her appearance before ABC decided to pull the plug on her season entirely.

We broke the story ... publishing video of a violent confrontation in 2023 between Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, earlier this week. Shortly after we published the video, ABC canceled the upcoming season of "The Bachelorette."

Cinnabon, Meta, and other companies have cut ties with TFP as well.

Grant Ellis says ABC absolutely did the right thing by pulling the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul as "The Bachelorette" ... telling us they needed to take a stand against domestic violence.

We got the former 'Bachelor' in Beverly Hills on Thursday and our photog asked him about ABC canceling Taylor after we first published a video of her getting violent with her baby daddy.

The way Grant sees it ... if ABC didn't pull the show, which was set to debut Sunday, they would have left it open to interpretation whether they cared about domestic abuse or not.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Taylor Frankie Paul is stepping in as the next 'Bachelorette' ... and a sex expert says she shouldn’t skip the "Fantasy Suites," but instead use the private time to her advantage.

TFP's debut on this season of ''The Bachelorette'' is on the horizon, and the biggest discussion has been how she will approach the overnight-date rooms, due to her Mormon faith ... but, sex expert Shan Boodram tells us Taylor shouldn't steer clear of the intimate time. Boodram says she should go with every partner -- but she doesn't need to "go all the way."

Check the clip ... Boodram -- Chief Intimacy Officer at Arya, an AI intimacy concierge for couples -- tells us going to the infamous boom-boom room can be a great opportunity for Taylor to really get to know the men she's narrowing down in her search for love.

Matt James has some thoughts on Chris Harrison's return to the dating-show world years after "The Bachelor" blew up in his face ... and let’s just say, he’s already handing over a rose to the host, who he calls the "GOAT."

TMZ caught up with the former 'Bachelor' lead at the Sports Illustrated Invitational Golf Tournament in San Francisco Thursday, where Matt said it was only a matter of time before Chris found his way back onto the dating TV circuit.

Matt also weighed in on the backlash surrounding Chris’ new show, particularly over a casting call that mentions "traditional values." According to Matt, that word is pretty much open to interpretation.
