Sparks are certainly flying between Dale Moss and Clare Crawley on “The Bachelorette,” both on-screen and off.
Taking to Instagram, the Season 16 front-runner — who is rumored to have already captured Crawley’s heart — shared a photo from the pair’s first meeting in Tuesday’s premiere episode, in which the 39-year-old “Bachelorette” declared, “I feel like I just met my husband.”
“I felt that,” Moss then captioned a photo on Instagram of the two talking.
Moss, a 32-year-old former NFL pro, unsurprisingly received the first impression rose from Crawley on night one. The duo reportedly began talking during the months-long production delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As for Crawley’s other suitors, some have sounded the alarm bells about Moss’ intentions.
“It’s a matter of time before Clare realizes that Dale’s not who she thinks he is,” one contestant is overheard saying in a teaser for the show.
No matter the chatter, it seems Moss is Crawley’s man. In August, rumors surfaced of Crawley departing the show early after falling for a contestant, with ABC adding Tayshia Adams as a replacement “Bachelorette,” according to reports.
Longtime host Chris Harrison also commented on Crawley’s looming “Bachelorette” blow-up in a trailer.
“Congratulations, you’ve just blown up ‘The Bachelorette,’” Harrison states in the clip.
Perhaps Bachelor Nation really is in for the most dramatic season ever.
“The Bachelorette” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
