Dale Moss is NOT looking at his DMs, not ready to date following split with fiancée Clare Crawley

The Bachelorette #16 Clare Crawley’s ex-fiancé Dale Moss gave his first interview since their surprise split while strolling in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

‘Clare and I will be cool,’ the South Dakota-born 32-year-old said.

‘Everything’s okay. Obviously, it’s not the greatest situation, but, you know, Clare and I have a lot of love for each other and, you know, this is the healthiest thing for us right now.’

Dale added: ‘Honestly, we’ve just got a lot going on in our lives right now. This is just the healthiest thing for both of us.’

Moss was still in a relationship with the 39-year-old Sacramento hairstylist as recent as January 9, and he said he has ‘no regrets’ about their romance.

The Elite Model said he was ‘not even looking at’ DMs from flirty women and when asked if he was interested in being a Bachelor or on Bachelor in Paradise, he replied: ‘Not there yet, man.’

Earlier that day, Dale shared his official statement repeating that the break-up was the ‘healthy decision’ and they ‘only hope the best things for one another.’

Meanwhile, it didn’t take long for Clare to receive a coffee date offer from The Bachelorette #16 contestant Spencer Robertson, but it’s unclear if she accepted.

Crawley famously eliminated all the contestants during her season in episode four – which was taped in August – to get engaged to Moss.

The Special Olympics global ambassador retired from the NFL in 2014 after playing wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Kiss, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Green Bay Packers.

Bachelor Nation fans are some of the most passionate and devoted, despite the horrible track record for couples remaining together on the various shows.

It’s worth noting that out of 16 seasons of The Bachelorette, only six couples are still together – including season one’s Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, who have two children.

And out of the 25 prior seasons of The Bachelor, only three couples are still happily married most notably Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, who share three children.
