The Chantel family star Pedro is glowing on Instagram after a trip to the Dominican Republic, and his contentment may seem like a thorn in his ex Chantel Everett's side. They separated in April 2022 and the divorce was extremely messy. They even dropped “his and hers” restraining orders. Pedro would do almost anything to get Chantel out of his life. He threw away reality fame, which can be lucrative, to make a complete break. Now, he moves on with ease as Chantel teases a new love interest, but often appears sad on social media.
There are two schools of thought regarding Peter. One is that Pedro is the cheating, lying Green Card hunter from “mama bear” Karen Everett's worst nightmares. The other is that Pedro simply fell in love with his wife. If The Chantel familyis Karen Everett (who never trusted Pedro and accused him of “harvesting the US dollar”) is right, Pedro played Chantel as if it were a guitar. He once compared her curves to that musical instrument, but those days are over… maybe never!
Pedro shakes himself
He doesn't let the shadow get to him
Pedro, posing for a happy selfie in the Instagram post shown above has been taken down. Many fans consider Pedro to be a con artist who lies through his teeth. For a long time, whenever he posted, it was like he was relaxing. One could almost feel the sharks approaching him. No matter what he said or did, he would be criticized for breaking a good woman's heart, and that still happens today. However, he doesn't seem to care. He's not letting himself get carried away – he's as fit and well dressed as ever.
Pedro is living his American dream and looks good doing it.
The post above received rave reviews, without the usual tonality. Apparently, thanks to Muay Thai training, elegant clothes and a winning smile, Pedro manages to influence the public. A fan was moved by the beautiful reality star, but called him “Peter.” The fact that it doesn't get destroyed every day must make life easier. Online is happier and calmer. Pedro is thriving. Here is the Instagram user's comment:
Looking pretty fit there, Peter. Keep up the good work. FYI, you seem much, much happier now that you're alone
This isn't the kind of critical tone he's used to. It's as if he were Peter 2.0, resurrected from the ashes to redeem himself. In Georgia, where Chantel also lives, he sells houses and seems passionate about his work. Even his most grumpy critics would have a hard time proving that he doesn't care about his job or excel in his career. He spends most of his time promoting his real estate career online. He is committed to this and says he has been successful. So, in a way, he got what he wanted… Pedro really is living the American Dream.
Chantel must be really hurt by all of this. It's not easy to be like that and then see a partner experience that. Obviously this had been affecting her for a long time, but she seems to be fine now. She hinted that a new love interest sent her flowers, so maybe she has love in her life. Chantel deserves to be happy and nothing she can do will stop Pedro from living his own life. She has no power over him. So moving forward mentally is best for her.
Pedro looks so relaxed
He is at peace with all the changes
Pedro has a soft, gentle expression on her face in the Instagram post above. The light hits her face, showing her smooth skin. He's wearing a red t-shirt and it looks like all is well in his world. This recent post shows Pedro talking about the importance of being “happy.” However, Pedro received some criticism on his post, with one disgruntled follower writing:
you just need to be a user like you to be happy
This is important. He is on the right track to prioritize this. Negative thoughts and emotions can drag a person down. During her divorce, Chantel often cried or screamed. Pedro thought Karen and Thomas Everett were out to get him, and maybe he was right. His family didn't behave well either – in fact, somewhat hilariously, they sent Pedro a “voodoo box.” However, Pedro believed that Chantel and her parents were trying to get him deported.
That's a lot of stress and teeth grinding. It was more drama than Pedro wanted. When Chantel told him that her former friend spilled the tea on her about how Pedro used her from day one, Pedro looked very uncomfortable – the opposite of how he looks now. Pedro may have used Chantel – there is no proof, but there are many clues that point in that direction.
At the same time, he can't spend the rest of his life trying to escape this, and he shouldn't. If he did this, he should apologize, but this is unlikely as he would need to admit that he did something horrible to someone else. Those who expect him to take on this kind of responsibility will be waiting a long time.
Peter does his own thing
He's not living in the past
Pedro probably wishes he didn't have to hurt Chantel to live his best life, but he doesn't seem to feel much remorse. There is nothing in your current behavior that shows guilt, shame, anger, or any unpleasant emotions. He's spreading a message of choosing happiness to his fans, and why shouldn't he? What is life without happiness?
Perhaps, as a single man, he can find the peace that was elusive in his marriage. He may feel liberated because he is free, without the problematic emotions that come with relationships, from jealousy to trust issues and more.
The Family Chantel star is enjoying life. He's career-oriented and probably lives well in the Peach State. For Pedro, his marriage is in the past. He doesn't seem to be emotionally connected to this at all. It's almost as if it happened in another lifetime. Pedro is maturing before the eyes of his followers and everyone needs to get used to the new Pedro, as he is unlikely to return to who he was before.
The Chantel family fans can watch the series on the Discovery+ streaming platform.
