The Bachelorette’s Clare Crawley and Dale Moss split last year

Before The Bachelorette Season 16, Clare Crawley tried to find love on The Bachelor Season 18 and Bachelor In Paradise Season 1 and 2. She eventually fell in love with Dale Moss, who was one of the suitors on the 2020 season of The Bachelorette.

The two got engaged at the end of the ABC show and were seen traveling together. Things started going sideways a few months later as Dale announced in January 2021 that the couple had broken up.

“I wanted [to] share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways. We appreciate the love and support we’ve received form so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time. We strongly believe in leading with love and always remaining true to oneself — something our families have taught and instilled in us throughout our lives. We only hope the best things for one another.”

However, they got back together the next month and decided to give their relationship a second chance. However, in September 2021, Clare and Dale parted ways for good.
