Crawley’s journey to happiness wasn’t an easy one as millions of fans witnessed her search for love on the long-running ABC hit series. In fact, her one-time fiancé Dale Moss whom she met on the show split from her in January 2021 due to differences in their relationship.
“Dale wasn’t ready for marriage and kids. He did have feelings for Clare but he wasn’t on the same page as her,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.
Eventually, Crawley found love whenshe married the Mascot Sports CEOon Feb. 1 in Sacramento, California, during an intimate ceremony. While speaking about her wedding, she told PEOPLE, “If I had to do this day over every single day for the rest of my life… I wouldn’t change a thing! Happiest day of my life hands down!”
Afterward, on Instagram, she described how she kept cool even after her wedding dress was stolen from her car ahead of the nuptials: “In the moment, I was like ‘Ughhhhh, what do I do?’ And I thought, ‘It’s okay. It’s about the moment and what we’re celebrating. I can wear anything, and I’ll be happy that we’re getting married.’ ”

“My husband has children. That makes me a step-parent now to them and they are incredibly special to me,” she wrote after social media users speculated she could be with child after a photo circulated online.
“I understand the good intentions behind this… but it is never ok to ask someone this IMO. You never know what someone’s private/personal health journey is,” Crawley wrote on her Instagram Story. “I can promise you this… I will always share what I am comfortable sharing so you do not need to ask.”
