Shortly after spending time with Blake on Thursday in which the couple had laughed about their carpool karaoke skills, or lack thereof, Clare took to her Instagram Story on Friday and posted a sweet quote, seemingly about her new relationship.

“A safe man comes into your life & loves you correctly,” the 40-year-old hairstylist from California native wrote, according to Us Weekly.
The quote, which Clare reposted, continued, “No sneaky stuff. No half love. No extra females. No inconsistency. Just you and only you, sis.”
The Season 16 The Bachelorette star and Blake, one of Clare’s Week 2 eliminees, sparked dating rumors in early January when they had spent a weekend in Indiana together.
“Went for business, left with the most unexpected remarkable memories! Indy, you were truly beautiful and exactly what my soul needed,” Clare captioned a video of the pair having fun together in Indiana on January 9.
Blake and Clare recently reunited after Blake had a fling with Tia Booth on Bachelor in Paradise’s seventh season last year.
On The Bachelorette in 2020, Clare gave her final rose to The Bachelorette winner Dale Moss, who in turn proposed marriage, after the couple only got to know each other for a couple of weeks.
Clare and Dale briefly split in January 2021, when multiple sources had described Dale as a “fame-seeker” and partyboy in New York City while Clare had been very clear from the start about her intentions to get married, settle down and have children in the near future.
Reports also swirled at the time Dale had cheated on Clare, although Dale firmly denied the cheating allegations.

Clare and Dale began going on dates again in February, and then Dale confirmed they were back together in early April by posting a selfie with Clare on Instagram.
Once they got back together, Dale’s representative announced the former pro athlete’s breakup from Clare — once and for all — in early October 2021, although they had reportedly already broken up in September.
Clare allegedly blocked Dale after he had flown to her home in Sacramento, CA, on September 28 but left the following day for “a work obligation,” which turned out to be a fitness event with The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron.
Clare apparently needed Dale by her side as her mother’s condition with dementia and Alzheimer’s worsened. (Clare’s mom was later placed in hospice care).
Following their breakup, Clare threw major shade at Dale on more than one occasion. She ultimately thought he was fake and had put on a performance during their romance so he could achieve fame and boost his acting and modeling career.
Clare previously told Jana Kramer in a late October episode of the Whine Down podcast her “biggest regret” from The Bachelorette is “trusting a man,” People reported.
“I trusted somebody, I believed somebody that they were who they said they were or that they would hold up to the promises that they make when they get down on one knee… [But] I don’t regret that I loved loving him,” Clare said at the time.
In regard to rumors Dale had “hooked up” with Abigail Heringer before her stint on Bachelor in Paradise’s seventh season last year, Clare acknowledged breakups “can get very messy and very icky.”

However, a source close to Dale told Us last year that Dale and Abigail “never kissed or had sex” and they were just “friends” after meeting at a flag football game in New York City.
Clare, on the other hand, told Jana that she knows what “happens behind closed doors.”
“When you know the truth… I don’t care for my side of the story, to be honest, to even be out there, even if I have receipts and proof, everything I need to show that I could really put it out there,” Clare shared, according to People.
Not only was Clare dealing with a broken heart and her mother’s health crisis in the fall, but she was also still recovering from having her breast implants removed.
“There was a lot on my plate… It all came crashing down at once,” Clare noted.
Clare also said it was “painful” that she and Dale had never talked things out or found closure at the end of their hot-and-cold romance.
“The one that gets me is, how do you say goodbye to somebody you never wanted to walk away from?” Clare reportedly said through tears.
“Like I would have never walked… You’re having to say goodbye to somebody you don’t want to be saying goodbye to, you have to walk away from somebody you don’t want to walk away from. It’s hard, it’s painful.”
As for Dale’s current love life, he is reportedly hooking up with and casually dating Argentinian model and soccer player Florencia Galarza.
Dale was previously spotted with blogger Thania Peck when the pair had attended The King’s Man premiere together in December.
