How Bachelorette Alum Got His Bad Boy Reputation

Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette gave us many iconic moments. Toward the end of Season 15, she revealed that she had been intimate with contestant Peter Weber during their overnight date. She shared the information with another finalist, Luke Parker.

His reaction stunned both Hannah and viewers. Luke basically shamed the Bachelorette for being intimate with another man, citing his and Hannah’s shared religious beliefs. Hannah Brown declared, “I f—– in a windmill and Jesus still loves me.”

She promptly sent Luke Parker home, but he returned at the next rose ceremony. In another iconic moment, Hannah Brown moved the podium away from the former contestant. He still didn’t get the hint, and then-host Chris Harrison had to intervene.

Following his departure from the show, Luke Parker continued to make headlines, including a significant legal settlement due to contractual breaches related to unauthorized media appearances.

Luke Parker has since moved on from Hannah Brown. He married Jennifer Frudaker in 2022. Hannah got engaged to Jed Wyatt at the end of The Bachelorette, but they broke up shortly afterward. She’s now engaged to model Adam Woolard.
