Who is Dale Moss?

Originally from Brandon, South Dakota, Dale will be one of the lucky singles on the upcoming ABC show "Bachelor In Paradise" for its 10th season. Before Dale moved to New York City, he was a triple-threat athlete at Brandon Valley High School, excelling in football, basketball, and track and field. According to the SDSU Athletic website, Dale started at SDSU as a basketball player. In a surprising twist, Dale used his last year of eligibility to pursue football, and it did not stop at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Dale took his talents to the NFL where he was a wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Chicago Bears.

When was Dale Moss last seen on National Television?

In 2020, Dale was one of 32 eligible bachelors fighting for then Bachelorette Clare Crawley in the show's 16th season. Famously, Clare fell in love with Dale just after a few meetings. She ended her time as the Bachelorette after two episodes, claiming she found her soulmate...Dale.

They got engaged and even went to Dale's home state of South Dakota. They took some cute engagement pictures on the Sioux Falls streets, too.

Like many "Bachelor" franchise couples, Dale and Clare Crawley's relationship did not last. They were in an "on again, off again" relationship for over a year. It was messy...and complicated.

So When Will Dale Moss Be on Bachelor In Paradise?

Be on the lookout for Dale Moss on the upcoming Bachelor In Paradise series beginning on Monday, July 7th only on ABC.

Good luck, Dale! Hopefully, you'll have a happier ending and find your person!
