Bachelorette’s Dale Moss told ‘girlfriend’ Eleonora Clare Crawley engagement ‘wasn’t real & went on show for his career’
BACHELORETTE Clare Crawley’s ex, Dale Moss, may have told the woman he allegedly cheated with, Eleonora Srugo, that his engagement “wasn’t real” and “just for the show,” The Sun can exclusively reveal.
Earlier this week, Dale, 32, shocked Bachelor Nation when he announced their breakup – a move Clare, 39, later admitted she didn’t know anything about.
As their nasty split unravels publicly, a source first claimed to E! News that Eleonora – a 34-year-old NYC real estate agent – was seeing Dale as he remained engaged to Clare, although both Dale and Eleonora’s reps have denied any romantic relationship between the two.
The Sun exclusively spoke to a close friend of Eleonora, who said the duo have carried on a relationship both platonically and physically.
“Eleonora’s known Dale for years and they’ve always been the kind of buddies that have that sexy, flirty vibe,” the source said.
The insider continued: “They did start hooking up with each other about two or three years ago. They get along so well and share a lot of the same interests.
“They love a lot of the same clubs and restaurants in NYC and have a shared taste for the finer things in life – and they’re both very good looking.
“So it kind of just happened naturally. But they were on the same page about it not getting serious and ruining their friendship, that’s why it’s worked out for as long as it has.”
The informant insisted Dale and Eleonora were never in an “exclusive relationship” and have both been on the same page about “keeping things casual.”
According to the source, Eleonora knew the ex NFL athlete was going on The Bachelorette but “did not feel worried” because she “never in a million years thought he’d come back engaged.”
“He’s figuring out his life and she thought it was purely a career thing he was going on the show.
“When he came back to the city, I don’t know exactly what he said to her but he convinced her the engagement was for show and he was never actually that serious about Clare.
“She believed him and didn’t seem too bothered by it since they were just basically friends with benefits anyway,” the insider added.
The source claimed the stunning blonde would “never, ever have gotten with Dale” if she thought “the relationship or engagement was a real, legitimate thing.
She also claimed that Dale “never talked about Clare” to Eleonora.
In addition to feeling bad personally, the insider said Eleonora “would never” throw her impressive career away to be a “Bachelor home wrecker.”
She has over a decade of experience working with high-profile clients at Douglas Elliman – one of the top real estate agencies in the country.
The informant concluded that Eleonora “doesn’t know” how her relationship will be moving forward, as she’s “furious” the news has gotten out publicly and could potentially hurt her professional life.
The source added Eleonora “feels bad” if Clare was hurt in any way as that was “never her intention.”
However, Dale’s rep told The Sun: “Dale and Eleonora are, and have been platonic friends for a few years. They have never been romantically involved in any way.
“She was excited for his engagement and only wishes him all the best.
