There never a shortage of drama in Bachelor Nation, and this week the headlines are all about Clare Crawley and Dale Moss. The couple, who met on the most recent season of The Bachelorette and got engaged after a record fast 12 days, has recently called it quits. But the drama doesn’t end with the breakup. Crawley is claiming that she was blindsided by the split and Moss has been accused of cheating.

When Crawley dumped all the remaining men on her season of The Bachelorette in order to pursue a relationship with Moss, many fans thought it was an extremely risky move. Rather than seeing if she would develop strong feelings for any other contestants, Crawley went all-in on Moss. When he allegedly had similar feelings and proposed to her after just a few encounters, Chris Harrison declared that the couple had found their happily ever after. Unfortunately, Harrison’s assessment was premature.

Dale Moss announces his split with Clare Crawley via Instagram

On January 20, 2021, Moss announced that he and Crawley had broken up via his Instagram page. “I wanted to share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the ex-footballer wrote. “We appreciate the love and support we’ve received from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time.”

Moss continued on to imply that the split with Crawley was mutual and amicable. “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,” The Bachelorette alum shared. “We only hope the best things for one another. Please respect our privacy as we work through this together. – DM”

The bachelorette claims she was blindsided by the breakup news

Moss’ statement was pretty standard for a Bachelor breakup, but things got messy when Crawley released a statement of her own a day later. The Sacramento native implied that she found out about the breakup at the same time as the general public. She also shared that she was generally invested in the relationship with Moss and that she was crushed by the split.

Crawley may still be healing from her breakup with Moss, but some of her fans are already trying to set her up with someone else. On January 15, 2020, the former Bachelorette shared a sweet post about her mother with her 1 million followers on Instagram. Fans immediately noticed that her first ex-fiancé, Benoît Beauséjour-Savard, who she got in engaged to back in 2018 following The Bachelor Winter Games, commented a sweet message of support.

“This just melted my heart, 🥺❤️🙌🏼” the Canadian commented; to which Crawley responded with a red heart emoji. Following her breakup, some of Crawley’s fans implored her to work things out with Beauséjour-Savard. “@clarecrawley you and @benoitbeausejour are soulmates… just let it happen, 😍” one person penned. “God loves 2nd chances! Go get your woman, sir!” another person chimed in.

“Clare is always saying she wants a guy to ‘show up’ for her….well I am pretty sure you just knocked down the door!!!” another Instagram user penned to Crawley. “It’s staring at you right in the face @clarecrawley ….. Benoit it is…he continues to SHOW UP!!” While we don’t think it would be wise for Crawley to jump back into a relationship with anyone, at least she’s able to remain friendly with at least one of her ex-fiancés.
