Meanwhile, Blake – not to be mistaken for the contestant who got engaged to Katie Thurston – was on Clare’s season of The Bachelorette. Blake was eliminated in week 2, and he returned to the franchise for Bachelor in Paradise Season 7. The contestant sparked a romance with Tia Booth. However, Tia and Blake split midway through the summer series.

“Went for business, left with the most unexpected remarkable memories!” Clare wrote on Instagram. “Indy, you were truly beautiful and exactly what my soul needed.”
Meanwhile, in an Instagram story, Blake shared a video of himself holding tight onto Clare as they slid together on some ice with big grins spread across their faces. “How’s walking on black ice with a grown man hanging on your back@clarecrawley?” Then Clare responded, “Better than gliding solo across the driveway and ending up under your car.”
Now, Blake and Clare haven’t confirmed whether they are together or simply friends. But Clare added fuel to the dating rumors on Instagram. When a Bachelor Nation fan commented on Clare’s Instagram, noting that “Blake is the sweetest person,” the former Bachelorette replied, “He truly is.”
