The Bachelor‘s host, Chris Harrison, may be partially responsible for fanning the flames when it comes to rumors about the potential relationship between Peter Weber and producer Julie LaPlaca — and he seems happy to do so. Harrison sat down with Access to chat about the situation, explaining that Weber, LaPlaca and himself “spend a lot of time together.” He expanded on that by admitting: “I’ll just say this, it’s an intimate relationship. You spend that much time together, we all get close. Sometimes those lines get blurred.” Oh, really?
Harrison also talked about whether or not the potential couple could get in trouble for the unexpected romance. “The only rules are, Peter needs to have the best opportunity to find love,” he said. “If something were to mess that up, then we would try to step in, and we would help.” Needless to say, the host didn’t clarify what sort of help would be offered.
Harrison isn’t the only one tiptoeing around romance rumors. ABC executive Rob Mills addressed the buzz around Weber and LaPlaca in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “Well, I hate to get in the way of a good rumor, so I’m not going to confirm or deny about whether he ends up with a producer!” he said. While that might only further pique viewers’ interest in the situation, fans are surely wondering what Weber has to say about the rumors.
