Melissa Rycroft has revealed that she did not see Clare Crawley and Dale Moss lasting that long amid their split.
‘The Bachelorette’ Spoilers: Melissa Rycroft Predicted The Two Would Split
When Melissa was asked about whether she was surprised that the duo split, she told Us Weekly the following: “We haven’t seen the deep intimate talks and there is a big difference between a 39-year-old woman and a 31-year-old guy. Does [Dale] want to get married next year and have kids? Maybe, but he may also kind of get a taste of what Bachelor Nation can do to somebody and then say, ‘You know what? I don’t want to be tied down right now, and I want to experience all of this.
“I mean, the pessimist in me is saying it’s probably not going to work out.” The duo called it quits earlier this year after Dale announced an official statement. He told his fans on Instagram at the time: “I wanted [to] share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways. We appreciate the love and support we’ve received from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time.”
And Clare was unhappy at how the announcement was revealed. She said: “Speaking for myself, my intentions with this relationship have always been very clear, so the truth is I am crushed. This was not what I expected or hoped for and am still trying to process this.” So what was the real reason for the split? Well, according to insiders, they just had different views on what they wanted:
“Clare and Dale did not agree on a lot of things in the long run when they sat down and really discussed the future of their relationship. They had been fighting a lot as of late. Clare started many of the arguments, and Dale would try not to rock the boat too much, but it all became too much for the both of them. They finally realized that perhaps they did move too quickly after all.”
It was not a surprise for Melissa, who saw that the writing was on the wall. If you enjoyed reading this article, then make sure you check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
