While the pair partied together on April 12 and appeared to still have chemistry, Peter allegedly nipped any chance of a reconciliation in the bud.
"Peter and I, we weren't ever really awkward. We always got along. We were always great friends. I think he said something this weekend and he was like, 'Kel, you're like the sister I never had,'" Kelley told Us Weekly on Tuesday, April 22.
"And I was like, 'Okay, that's maybe a little awkward.'"
Kelley admitted she was "a little creeped out by that one," but when looking back on her relationship with Peter over the past several years, she understood where he was coming from.
"We always get along and we definitely butt heads. So maybe it is a sibling thing," Kelley reasoned.
"I don't know how to compare it, but that's what he said to me. I was like, 'I'm a little creeped out by that one, but I also kind of understand what you mean.'"
Kelley and Peter hadn't seen each other in "almost over two years" after their final breakup in early 2023.
Kelley explained that she and Peter got together at Coachella because they have the same agency and she had a partnership to promote.
"My agent was leaving early and he left on Saturday and Pete said, 'Hey, can I come and stay in his room? Can I have his ticket?' And I was like, 'Sure.' So he was hanging out with us. We kind of had an extra spot. And he needed somewhere to stay," Kelley explained.
Kelley reiterated how that was "the first time" she had seen him in a while.

"Well, I ran into him briefly at Fashion Week, but I was in a different relationship at that time and I didn't think it would be the most respectful thing to be hanging out with my ex. So we didn't really speak there," Kelley explained.

Kelley gushed about how she and Peter "always have a lot of fun together," but that doesn't mean they're going to be an item again.
"Do I think we're meant to be? No, I don't. I think we butt heads too much," Kelley admitted.
"I think the way that our brains work is just a little bit different. I think I'm probably a little bit more serious natured and the way that I do things versus him. He's a little bit more playful, which is fine."
Kelley elaborated, "I think we butt heads on it where I'm like, 'Hey, what are you doing?' And he's like, 'What do you mean?' But I highly respect him. I think he's great."
Kelley confirmed she's single after a heartbreaking split with her last boyfriend, Ari Raptis, who allegedly cheated on her.
Although Kelley is still looking for The One, she told Us that she turned down an invitation to appear on Bachelor in Paradise's upcoming tenth season, which will film in Costa Rica.

"I could be completely wrong. I felt like I was kind of an outcast. And I said something recently, 'I don't know if I really fit in.' And someone laughed and they're like, 'Kelly, you never did.'"
Kelley concluded that she just doesn't "fit into" The Bachelor world.
"I don't know how to explain it, but I definitely just felt like, 'Huh.' So I don't know if it's the right decision for me," Kelley said.
After failing to win Hannah Brown's heart on The Bachelorette, Peter starred on The Bachelor in 2020.
Peter got engaged to model Hannah Ann on The Bachelor finale, but they split by the time they filmed After the Final Rose in March 2020.

Not long after popping the question in Australia, Peter apparently realized he still had feelings for his runner-up, Madison Prewett, and so he said he couldn't give his fiancee his whole heart.
Peter therefore broke things off with Hannah Ann and devastated her, only to ask Madison for another shot at dating.
Peter and Madison, however, called it quits only two days after The Bachelor: After the Final Rose aired on ABC.
(Madison is now married and has a baby with husband Grant Troutt, the son of Texas billionaire Kenny Troutt, and Hannah Ann is happily married to NFL player Jake Funk).
Peter proceeded to have an on-again, off-again relationship with Kelley, who had finished his The Bachelor season in fifth place.
Peter and Kelley began dating in early 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic and announced their first split on New Year's Eve 2021.

Peter and Kelley sparked speculation they were back together -- again -- in August 2022 via flirty social media posts and public appearances. They ultimately went Instagram official with their relationship for the second time in October of that year.
Peter revealed he and Kelley were done during a playful interview at a beauty convention in Calgary, Canada, in April 2023.
Kelley just got out of a serious relationship in November 2024, and Kaitlyn Bristowe's ex-fiance Jason Tartick has hinted that he may like to date her.
Peter is now living, and most likely dating, in Los Angeles after having spent years in New York City.
