Peter Kraus was the runner-up on Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette. Although he wasn’t chosen, fans went crazy for him and started a campaign for him to become The Bachelor. That didn’t happen and it’s still a bit of a mystery as to why.

Fans are now waiting to see if the personal trainer will ever return to the franchise. It seems like there has been a lot of back and forth between him and the producers on if this will ever happen. Part of the reason for that might be because he didn’t exactly leave the show on good terms.

The reality star no longer talks to this one person from The Bachelorette. He recently talked about this and more. Here are seven things to know about his life after the show.

1. He says the Bachelorette process made it an easier breakup

The show’s process is known to be weird, considering the Bachelorette star is kept away from the remaining men while the series is airing in order to avoid spoilers on who she chose. Sometimes this has backfired and led to people growing apart and breaking up. But Kraus said it led to him healing after his breakup with Rachel Lindsay.

“In a way, I’m thankful that the process wasn’t really long,” he told Us Weekly. “If that would’ve been 20 weeks, the breakup would’ve been that much harder because the emotions would’ve been that much stronger towards her.”

He then continued, “And so I think that kind of helped me in getting over it a little bit faster, and there’s still days where I think about it and have maybe have some hard moments.”

Next: So does Kraus regret going on the show?
