The Bachelorette’s Pete Mann has confirmed he’s in a relationship with wedding planner Rachel Evans, who he was ‘casually dating’ before filming the reality show earlier this year.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Monday, the 34-year-old said he was ‘head over heels’ in love with Rachel, despite splitting from Becky Miles just three months ago.
‘After filming concluded, we reconnected and I simply fell head over heels,’ he gushed. ‘We’ve now met each other’s families and will be spending Christmas together, including a secret little getaway.’
Now, is it just us, or is the timeline a bit weird?
Pete admits to ‘casually dating’ Rachel in Adelaide before The Bachelorette started filming in Sydney in July, but says they were ‘never official’.
He then spent six weeks filming, with Becky choosing him as her winner in mid-September – only to dump her over FaceTime with not much of an explanation three days after the finale.
Now, three months later, he’s already ‘head over heels’ in love with the woman he was seeing just before appearing on the show and they’re spending the holidays together.

There’s no ‘right time’ with love, sometimes it just happens, even at the least convenient or ‘acceptable’ times. That being said Pete was obviously interested in Rachel so perhaps things not working out with Becky solidified the intensity of his feelings for Rachel. Everyone deserves to be happy and with the person who they’re most compatible so yeah while he perhaps wasn’t completely transparent and honest with Becky, Pete’s got to follow his heart to happiness too.
Megan,
I’m with you. There’s no such thing as a right time or wrong time. He obviously couldn’t get Rachel off his mind so he called it off with Becky.
Breaking up face to face, by text, on the phone or on face time is the Covid19 way and there’s not much we can do to change that. Would he have done it differently if there weren’t lock down rules in place? Who knows, and who really cares. He has ignited something special and is pursuing his feelings.
It must be serious if they’ve met each other’s family.
It’s not up to us to dictate how or when he should break up with Becky. He did what he thought was best at the time.
Becky is a lovely country lady and will find Mr Right soon enough.
