\"It's 100% real,\" said Weber. \"All those emotions were real and they resurfaced. You guys have to tune in to see what happens.\"

The 28-year-old even addressed the headlines about his injury that had Bachelor Nation holding their breath.

\"People thought I lost like half my face,\" said Weber. \"Honestly, it was just a freak accident -- 22 stitches, yeah, now I got a good battle scar. The next day I remember going on a date so it wasn't that bad of an injury like everyone thought.\"

With filming on the new season wrapped, Weber also opened up about his new outlook on being a hopeless romantic.

\"Being the Bachelor now, I've changed that I'm not a hopeless romantic,\" he said. \"I'm a romantic -- because I've never lost hope that that next person I find is gonna be my forever.\"
