Clare Crawley’s Ex Dale Moss Makes Shocking Return to Bachelor Nation: Spotted Filming ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 10

Dale Moss is making a return to Bachelor Nation.

Apparent footage from Costa Rica (where season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise relocated to) surfaced over the weekend, showing Dale, 36, filming the dating spinoff alongside a series of other Bachelor and Bachelorette alums who fans believe to be Jonathan Johnson, Jeremy Simon, Spencer Conley, Andrew Spencer, Zoe McGrady, Hakeem Moutlon, Bailey Taylor, Kat Izzo, Parisa Shifteh, Alexe Godin, Jess Edwards and Jill Chin. Us Weekly has reached out to ABC for comment.

While the network has yet to confirm the full cast, host Jesse Palmer previously announced Jonathan, Hakeem, Zoe and Golden alums Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston would be looking for love on BiP. Us broke the news of Kat’s return via a source earlier this month.

Dale, for his part, stands out for some fans as he last appeared on Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette in 2020. The season 16 lead infamously ended the show early to get engaged to Dale after a matter of weeks, with Tayshia Adams coming in to take over as the new Bachelorette to finish the season.

“From the moment I stepped out of the limo, this was special,” Dale said before he proposed to Clare, 44. “I know without the shadow of a doubt that you would go to the end of the world for me and I’ve never had that. I’m so grateful for that. … All [my mother’s] ever wanted for me is someone who loves me unconditionally and who would be there for me no matter what. I know that I have that. I love you.”

Months after the proposal aired, the twosome announced in January 2021 that they had split. They soon got back together, only to call it quits for good by that fall. Clare later called the relationship “not healthy.”

“That relationship brought out the worst in me. It crushed me. It crushed my spirit. It crushed in so many ways who I was as a woman,” she said on the “Almost Famous” podcast in 2023. “It brought me down to a level that I didn’t want to be at, that I questioned myself. I thought I was asking for too much, I thought I was not a good communicator. All these things.”

Clare went on to find The One off screen, marrying single dad Ryan Dawkins in 2023. They welcomed their daughter in Rowen via surrogate last month.

Dale, meanwhile, has not spoken much about his split from Clare, but he told Us after her wedding that “there’s nothing but love and positive thoughts” from his end. At the time, he was in a relationship with HGTV host Galey Alix. They called it quits in 2024.

“You had two good people who genuinely loved one another and did your best to make things work. Sometimes because of life, timing or priorities it’s not as black and white as people like to think,” he told his social media followers about their breakup last month. “But I believe that I can speak for the both of us by saying that at the end of the day we only wanted the best for one another and to see each other achieve their dreams. Whatever the case there are zero regrets and while every relationship has difficulties we brought each other a lot of joy and am grateful to have had that in my life.”

Assuming the footage linked above is legit, Dale will be one of the contestants showcased when BiP returns to ABC on July 7.
