On Aug. 3, E! News revealed Tayshia Adams replaced Crawley as The Bachelorette lead. Crawley allegedly fell in love with one of her cast members a few weeks after filming started.

“The producers have told her that the season will still lead with Clare and her short-lived journey, and will show Clare falling in love with one of her suitors,” an unnamed source told the publication. “Clare will then conclude her journey and announce that Tayshia is the lead.”

Meanwhile, Life & Style Magazine reported Crawley picked Dale Moss, who earned the first impression rose. The publication also claimed the couple is currently engaged. Then in a blog post published on Sept. 30, Bachelor Nation spoiler guru Reality Steve shared Crawley and Dale are still together. But he was unable to confirm their engagement.

“I do know they’re still together, and probably engaged,” Reality Steve wrote. “Do I know for a fact they’re engaged? No. But I assume they are based on things I’ve heard.”

What Clare Crawley says about her ‘Bachelorette’ journey

If you watched The Bachelorette Season 16 premiere, it would be unsurprising if Crawley actually picked Dale. The couple hit it off immediately. Crawley even said everything went dark the moment she met him, claiming she felt like she met her husband. Then they connected while discussing their families. 

In an interview with Us Weekly published on Oct. 13, Crawley touched on the moment she met Dale. 

“It was breathtaking,” she said. “It was one of those moments where you don’t know it until you experience it, what exactly that feeling is. I still can’t put it into words what that feeling is though.”

She continued, “It was when your body has that kind of, like, a goosebumpy reaction to things. It just takes your breath away.”

Then when speaking with Extra, Crawley revealed what she told Harrison at the time.

“I was actually talking to Chris and I told him, ‘I need a minute,’” she said. “I’m airing out my pits. I’m like, ‘What is happening here…?’ I’ve never felt anything like that in my life.”

That said, when she was asked about Dale, Crawley wasn’t able to answer. But even so, it seems the new bachelorette left the show happier than ever.

“I am in love with life right now,” Crawley told Good Morning America on Oct. 13. “Everybody keeps asking me, ‘Are you happy? Are you happy?’ And I keep telling everybody I was happy going into this. So whatever came about it, I’m happy now. Things are well on my end.”

For now, Bachelor Nation fans will have to see how things unfold on The Bachelorette Season 16. Remember, the franchise has yet to confirm — or deny — any of the spoilers. But no matter what happens on Crawley’s journey, it’s going to be extraordinary. So get ready.
