Many fans have been tuning on Monday nights to watch love journeys unfold and drama unravel. While not every Bachelor or Bachelorette ends up with their final person, once in a while the stars do align. Check out all the couples who actually made it work.

The third time is not the charm for this couple.

Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan, who placed fifth on his season of "The Bachelor," have split.

"Love is a funny thing," Weber, 29, wrote in an Instagram post that showed the pair overlooking a sunset. "It can make you feel on top of the world and it can make you feel a pain you wish didn’t exist. I’m here to share that Kelley and I have decided to go our separate ways."

"While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn’t work out in the end," the airline pilot continued about his split from the lawyer. "Kelley is someone I will always have a special love for. Someone I have learned more from than she will ever understand. Someone I am so thankful came into my life and someone who I will always wish all of life’s greatest blessings on."
