It’s officially over for Bachelorette couple, Clare Crawley and Dale Moss.
TMZ had reported on Tuesday that Moss, 32, broke things off with Crawley, 39, this past weekend, due to distance, as he lives in New York City, whereas she lives in Sacramento, Calif.
Shortly after the report, the actor confirmed the split on his social media page.
“I wanted 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,” he wrote. 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. We only hope the best things for one another,” he announced on Instagram.
The duo met over the summer while filming The Bachelorette, and Clare Crawley had revealed that Moss was “husband” material.
After just three weeks of filming, the couple got engaged. Crawley left the show with Moss by her side, and she was replaced by Tayshia Adams.
She told the show’s producers that said she knew early on he was the only guy for her: “I am so far in love with Dale. We have this connection where it feels like I’ve known him forever. It’s that intangible chemistry that you just can’t make up and you can’t replace.” she had said.
The former football player also admitted to feeling the same way: “I’m falling in love with you through this process. I’m not afraid to say that at all. My heart is open and I’m not gonna fight that.”
Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out the way the couple had planned.
