Hannah Ann, who competed on Peter Weber's The Bachelor season in 2020, confirmed she's dating -- and in love -- with Jake in February, and the couple's families have already met and gotten together.

"I met his parents," Hannah Ann, 25, told E! News.

"Then that next week, I had my parents come out from Tennessee. They made the trip out to California and they met him and then also his parents all within the same day, which was really fun."

Hannah Ann's parents apparently approved of the 24-year-old athlete and shared, "They adore him."

"They think he's like, such a great fit for me," she said.

Hannah Ann also said she'll be taking Jake home to Tennessee this summer, which is a trip she's really looking forward to because Jake will get a taste of her "country upbringing."

"[It] will be fun," the model said.

Hannah Ann hinted her romance with Jake is getting pretty serious, especially because they have a "common vision for the future."

"I don't want to change anything about him," Hannah Ann gushed. "I mean, he's my best friend and we just truly enjoy being around each other."

Hannah Ann has also taken a new interest in her beau's professional football career and he's been teaching her about the NFL's scoring rules.

Hannah Ann said she's becoming "more of a fan" and added, "I grew up in the South, so it was more about college football versus NFL. I actually went to my first NFL game when we first started dating, so I had never been to a game before."

The lovebirds have been traveling and enjoying their time together -- including a stop in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- since going public with their relationship earlier this year, when Hannah Ann posted photos kissing and hugging Jake at Super Bowl LVI on social media.

Hannah Ann, however, recently attended the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with her girlfriends.

On The Bachelor's 24th season, Peter claimed he was in love with both Hannah Ann and Madison Prewett at the end of his journey to find love on the show, and after Madison quit during her final date with the pilot, Peter proposed marriage to Hannah Ann at the Final Rose Ceremony.

Not long after getting engaged, Peter apparently realized he still had feelings for Madison and couldn't give Hannah Ann 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).

Hannah Ann said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast in 2020 that Peter had asked for her blessing -- when they were still engaged -- to reach out to Season 15 The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown because he "needed closure" in early January of that year.

"I should have really picked up on the first red flag that you gave to me, was when you wanted to reach out to Hannah Brown to find closure with her," Hannah Ann told Peter on After the Final Rose in March 2020.

"So really, looking back at it, our engagement involved three women. Me, you still being in love with Madison and proposing to me and you needing closure with Hannah Brown. That's three women involved in our engagement that I was completely blindsided to... Word of advice, if you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man."

"Alabama Hannah" later revealed she and Peter had slept together while The Bachelor's 24th season was airing in February 2020.

The Dancing with the Stars winner and Peter reunited at Bachelor in Paradise couple Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin's engagement party before having sex at his parents' house in Los Angeles, CA, that evening.


The former Bachelorette wrote in her November 2021 memoir, God Bless This Mess, that the sexual encounter "just sucked" and it was "a poor decision" on her part.

Hannah Ann took to TikTok after the news surfaced and captioned a video, "Always trust your instincts ladies."

In the video, Hannah Ann was lip-syncing and mouthed, "That was embarrassing. I really hope you're embarrassed. Wow."

Words then flashed across the footage that read, "When the tea officially spills..."

Hannah Ann didn't name Peter or Hannah directly, but she confirmed whom her post was intended for in the comments to her followers.

"Savage ain't a bad thing every once in a while," Hannah Ann wrote to one TikToker who praised her video, according to Us Weekly.

Another follower wrote, "God did you a favor Hannah," to which the model and Tennessee native replied, "There Is a God."

After her breakup from Peter, Hannah Ann moved to Los Angeles, and she revealed in April 2020 that she'd be going on a date soon with a super "hot" guy who had slid into her DMs.
