Clare Crawley and Ryan Dawkins's relationship timeline

Clare Crawley began hanging Ryan Dawkins in September 2021, the same month that she split from her The Bachelorette partner Dale Moss.

In an Instagram story, Clare mentioned that she did not have an appetite when Ryan asked her out on a date but said yes to tea. The pair did not announce their relationship and a source close to them told US Weekly:

"She wanted to keep it private until she was ready to debut him as her new boyfriend. Close friends and family have known about it for a few months now, but it was her secret to tell."

They made their relationship official in September 2022 with an Instagram reel of them singing in the car together, which was captioned with the word “him.” Clare Crawley even shut down some rumors at the time that she had gotten lip fillers by mentioning her relationship, saying:

"No I didn’t get my lips done, it’s the consequence of having sensitive skin plus a hot man with a beard."

After the pair got engaged in October 2022, Ryan said in an interview:

"Everything in my world has changed since I met her, she’s the love of my life and I wish the world knew the Clare that I know. She is one of the strongest women I know and is truly a light. I love our life and [am] beyond excited about our future."

A day before their wedding ceremony, Clare’s wedding dress had been stolen from her car so she wore a replacement dress from Flares Bridal. She mentioned that it was the “Happiest day of my life hands down” and that she wouldn’t change a thing about it.
