It’s only been two days since The Bachelorette star Dale Moss announced he and Clare split, but the drama continues to unfold. Rumors have been flying around Bachelor Nation as to what caused the breakup. Now, sources close to Dale staunchly insist that infidelity was not the cause.

Bachelorette Clare Crawley and Dale Moss got engaged after a brief 12-day romance, and the couple immediately faced skepticism about the durability of their relationship. Speculation of infidelity gained traction after Dale was spotted with two models in NYC, though Dale insisted that he was devoted to Clare. Fans speculated for months about the status of Clare and Dale’s relationship, and two days ago Dale took to Instagram to confirm their suspicions that he and Clare had broken up.

Cheating rumors flared up again after the breakup post, and E! News reported recently that Dale was cheating throughout the entire relationship. However, other sources have asserted that Dale stayed true to his fiancé until the end. “There is zero truth to any cheating rumors,” a source told ET. “Dale was faithful the entire time he was dating Clare. He never cheated on her.” Those who believe Dale was unfaithful point to another instance when he was spotted in NYC with a different woman, which the source close to Dale again denies. “The 'girl' they have in question of him 'cheating' with is a longtime friend of his," the source insisted. "She is a real estate broker and has been helping him find a new apartment for him and Clare in NYC.

In a recent Instagram post, Clare claimed she was crushed and surprised to see Dale’s breakup announcement, but ET’s source said the breakup happened some time ago. “Dale broke up with Clare last week, after their San Diego trip ended. He wanted to release his statement then, but Clare begged him to wait to announce it.” The source claims that Clare needed time to process the breakup by herself before making it public, and that she definitely knew about the breakup before the rest of Bachelor Nation did.

With two opposing narratives, it can be hard to discern the fact from fiction, but for his part, Dale Moss is sticking to his guns and maintaining his innocence. The Bachelorette couple’s relationship may be over, but the drama looks like it’s just starting.
