Bachelorette fans got a glimmer of hope for a happily-ever-after for Clare Crawley. While her romance with Dale Moss burned out as quickly as it started, the two reunited last month. The pair were spotted holding hands on a beach in Florida. Clare also subtly confirmed the rumors that they were spending time together. 

What happened? 

Clare & Dale Reunite One Month After Breakup

The Bachelorette Season 16 really was one of the “most dramatic seasons ever.” Clare Crawley “blew up” the format of the long-running dating show. Typically, the lead eliminates her suitors one-by-one. However, Clare Crawley eliminated herself. Us Weekly reports that Clare was smitten with Dale Moss in less than two weeks. 

So smitten, in fact, that she dropped the facade completely and left the show with him. Tayshia Adams took over and completed the season, ultimately getting engaged to Zac Clark. Zac & Tayshia are still going strong. 

The same can’t be said for Clare and Dale. Just a few short months later, their relationship was over almost as quickly as it began. Dale posted a bombshell statement on his social media, confirming the split. Even Clare was seemingly blindsided by the news. 

It looked like she was moving on, thanks in part to an Instagram-cultivated breakup playlist. 

But then came the shocking rumors that Clare and Dale were together in Florida. 

Stealthy Instagram Post Confirms They Were Vacationing Together

Photos of Clare and Dale holding hands seemed to confirm the rumors of a reunion. Clare posted a photo on her Instagram that solidified it for eagle-eyed viewers. 

At a glance, the photo seems to be of a handful of seashells. But there’s a foot in the background photobombing Clare’s post about “making memories.”

No, the average Bachelor Nation fan won’t recognize contestants by their feet. However, hours earlier, Dale Moss posted on his IG Stories, showing off his silver toenail polish. He seemingly lost a bet. 

The person in Clare’s photo had the same nail polish on. Fans quickly put toe and toe together. 

Did they reconcile for good? 

What’s Their Relationship Status Today? 

It’s been two weeks since Clare Crawley’s seashell-toe post. There has been nary a mention of Dale Moss. For his part, he’s been busy in NYC with his buds. He recently visited the hottest attraction in the city – The Edge. 

She did post a pensive photo recently with the caption “A setback is just a setup for your comeback.”

Inside sources tell E! Online that the former couple is not back together. In fact, Clare is “trying to move on” from the relationship. But “They want to be friends and do want to see each other.”
