Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming for Clare’s season was postponed for a time, giving the contestants and Clare time to potentially interact before coming on the show. This was a common rumor as their romance unfolded, as many were convinced they had to know each other before filming to fall that fast.
Clare denied she and Dale ever spoke before the season started, but she did admit that she could tell a lot about a person by their social media profile.
“You can kind of tell people’s lifestyles like from Instagram Stories, and I see some that I’m like, ‘That’s not really my vibe,’ and others where I look at them and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s hot. I can’t wait to meet that guy. I hope he’s on the season,’” she said, according to Life & Style.
While there were rumors that she and Dale began talking before the season started, these have since been debunked, meaning their entire love story takes place over the span of a few dates.
