They seem suited. Mother is pleased. Hope it all works out for them.

Then why didn’t he keep her longer on the show? Sorry I didn’t follow this season closely.

The funniest thing about this post is the fact that the pic of Kelley on the bottom right is a picture where Madison’s standing next to Kelley. So Barb had to crop Madison out of it to use it for the collage. It’s the third picture https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MyOTDDyaJ/

I am happy for them. They do seem suited to each other -- why did Peter even do the Bachelor, though? They could have easily gotten together without it since they had already connected before. It just seems anti-climatic to me for him to post this. I mean -- who didn't already think they were a couple? They have already been acting like it. To have your parents post about it on Instagram is odd. All JMO.

I'm not holding my breath. And Babs gets creepier and creepier.

Don't get me wrong, she seemed like one of the more obvious choices for him during his season. Despite her flaws, she's smart and mature, and they've had a good spark with each other. But I just don't understand how a lead lets a cast member go outside of the F4 and then undergoes a change of heart later on. Mixing up the F1 and F2, maybe. But this? I certainly wish them well, but a part of me wonders if Pete is still acting like a kid in an ice cream shop, wanting to try all of the flavors.

It actually seems pretty straightforward to me. As you said, Peter & Kelley seem like a good match irl and they did have a spark. But Kelley never seemed interested in competing for Peter while on the show, and Peter valued the wrong things as proof of the women’s being into him. If they weren’t arguing with the other women or crying every 5 seconds, he wasn’t interested, and Kelley did neither of those things, so he didn’t invest in her. But after the show, he’s single, she’s single, the attraction’s still there, and they have similar interests and mutual friends. That’s a perfect recipe for hooking up. Then Kelley’s dad gets sick and he goes to Chicago to support her, that moves it from being a casual hookup to something a little more serious. Circumstances cause them to quarantine together, that seems to have made them closer & sped up their relationship. Plus Peter’s a romantic at heart & meeting Kelley before the show only enhances her appeal to him because it’s like a rom com basically. All of that said, idk if they’ll last because Peter’s track record with women is him falling in love very quickly, making promises to women, falling out of love even quicker, and lining up his next victim woman before actually ending the relationship he’s in. All jmo.

Honestly, her post made me want to throw up.
JMO

Kelley is now dating someone who has been publicly highly criticized. She saw what we saw during the airing of the show and would be aware of what he has said in interviews. Often former cast talk about how public pressure and watching the show put stress on their relationships. In this case, Peter and Kelley have progressed their relationship.

This quarantine couple stuff is convenient and necessary. We won’t know what’s real until freedom returns. There is no way anyone should put faith in Peter Weber until he actually and freely chooses someone which he da** sure has NOT done in this case. He was running for cover after a disastrous season and lots of bad press and hate. Kelly and her nice apartment in a fabulous city are a great port in a storm. It will be months before we know if there is anything more. Barb’s endorsement is positive but as Hannah Ann aptly demonstrated, its really not a deal maker. 
Any posturing, presumptions, attestations or, assumptions about this couple in this highly artificial environment mean nothing. All IMO.
