The Real Reason Dale Moss And Clare Crawley Are Done For Good

It's been almost a year since Clare Crawley and Dale Moss's two-week whirlwind romance aired on "The Bachelorette." In a groundbreaking season, Clare exited the show engaged to the former NFL player after just 12 days of filming. ABC brought in Tayshia Adams, a former contestant on Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor" and a cast member on "Bachelor in Paradise" to finish filming the season.

However, in January, just five months after the couple got engaged on the show's 16th season, Clare and Dale called it quits. Dale confirmed the news on his Instagram account (via ET Online), writing, "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 from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time." Just one month later, the pair was spotted out in Florida, and rumors of a reconciliation swirled. In an Instagram Story in April, Dale posted a photo of him and Clare, apparently confirming the romance was back on. "Clare and Dale took things really slowly when they got back together. They wanted to make sure they were on the same page," a source told People at the time.

Things appeared to be going well between the two of them, with both Clare and Dale sharing Instagram posts on their one-year anniversary. So, what went wrong? Read on to find out.

In February, Clare Crawley and Dale Moss seemed to reconcile following their January split, itself coming just two months after their engagement aired on "The Bachelorette." Talk about a whirlwind! Things appeared to be going well for the couple, who both posted on July 4th about their first time meeting. "Happy 4th of July!!!" the hairdresser wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her and Dale. "This exact day/time last year I was packing my car and heading out solo to Palm Springs... What a difference a year makes!" Dale commented on the post, "Almost a year ago today I was able to hold you in my arms for the first time."

The couple was last spotted out in early September at the U.S. Open in New York City. Clare shared a photo on Instagram of her and Dale meeting with Season 17 Bachelorette Katie Thurston and her fiance Blake Moynes. Just two weeks after they were seen in NYC, Dale attended a wedding solo. "Clare was invited as his plus one but didn't end up going," an insider divulged to Us Weekly, and rumors of another breakup began swirling. Sources confirmed to Page Six just 8 days after Dale attended the nuptials alone that the pair had split again. "Dale and Clare have split again," the insider revealed. "This time it's for good. It didn't end well."

It's unclear exactly what caused the split between Clare Crawley and Dale Moss this time around, but it's possible there were unresolved issues from their first breakup. Back in January, a source revealed to People what caused their initial split. "Dale wasn't ready for marriage and kids," the insider divulged. "He did have feelings for Clare but he wasn't on the same page as her." The source continued saying Dale "had cold feet, but she was really hoping he would grow in the relationship and come around. Things only got tougher after the show when they had to start making big life decisions."

On top of their issues after the show, many "Bachelor" fans were skeptical of how quickly the couple initially got engaged. On the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast with former Bachelorettes Becca Kufrin and Rachel Lindsay, Clare brushed the haters off. "I really get that I am not for everybody," she said. "I get that everybody might not do what I did or agree with what I'm doing, but at the end of the day, this is all for love." Here's hoping Clare finds love!
