Dale Moss claims Clare Crawley 'blocked' his number and made communication 'impossible' amid split

Dale Moss broke his silence amid his recent split from Clare Crawley.

The 33-year-old reality star attempted to clear up any confusion as to why the couple broke up in a statement released to PEOPLE on Monday.

Not only did he claim that the former Bachelorette star ‘blocked’ his phone number after he left her side while she was caring for her ailing mother, but she also made communication ‘impossible’ and only heard from Clare through her own social media post.

‘Dale and Clare broke up in mid September when Clare was in New York City spending time with him,’ the statement began. ‘Clare then chose to fly home to Sacramento and asked Dale to send her things. A couple of weeks later, Clare’s mother’s condition worsened, and Dale chose to immediately fly out to Sacramento to be with her.’

Crawley, who first starred on the ABC franchise during Juan Pablo’s season of The Bachelor, flew home to take care of her mom, Lilia, who suffers from dementia and has Alzheimer’s, a progressive neurological disorder. 

‘Dale flew to Sacramento last Tuesday morning to be with Clare, her mother and their family,’ the statement continued. ‘On Wednesday, Dale flew to Los Angeles for a work obligation and had every intention to travel back to Sacramento to be with her but his number was blocked, which made it impossible to communicate with Clare. 

Yikes! Not only did he claim that the former Bachelorette star ‘blocked’ his phone number after he left her side while she was caring for her ailing mother, but she also made communication ‘impossible’ and only heard from Clare through her own social media post

‘It is unfortunate that the next time Dale heard anything from Clare it was on social media.’ 

‘Dale has chosen not to speak publicly regarding all these reports because he wants to give Clare and her family the respect they need during this difficult time. Dale knows what it is like to watch a mother’s health deteriorate over time, and how devastating that is. 

‘He hopes that people will understand the current situation enough to respect everyone’s privacy during this time. He wishes Clare nothing but the best, and he is keeping her and her family in his thoughts and prayers.’

Clare broke her silence about the split last week, and shared a little of her current situation helping her mother while she is also recovering from breast explant surgery.

Moss proposed to his former flame halfway through their season of the Bachelorette in the summer of 2020. Crawley said yes, but the two quickly ran into relationship issues and broke up in January. 

The couple got back together by February and he later boasted about being ‘in a good place’ with Crawley before breaking up one more time.

‘Dale and Clare have split again,’ an insider told Page Six last week. ‘This time it’s for good. It didn’t end well.’
