The Bachelorette: Meet Clare Crawley
Since she came straight out of left field, let’s learn a little about the rumored 2020 Bachelorette Clare Crawley. Her first appearance on the franchise occurred on Juan Pablo’s season of The Bachelor. The then 32-year-old hairstylist from Sacramento made it all the way to the Final Rose Ceremony but was eliminated so Juan could pursue a relationship with Nikki Ferrell.
After that, Clare returned for the first and second seasons of Bachelor in Paradise. In season one, she quit during week five and then eliminated week three of season two. But the upcoming Bachelorette didn’t give up on love. She appeared on The Bachelor Winter Games and there she met Benoit Beauséjour-Savard.
But the two didn’t really connect until after filming. So it came as a surprise when they announced their engagement at the World Tells All episode. Sadly, the engagement didn’t last and the couple called it quits in April 2018. Now it looks like Clare’s ready to try her shot at one more time.
