She added: “This is a journey that Ryan and I have held close to our hearts as we navigate the uncertain world of IVF and all that comes with it. I can't wait to share with you soon what it's been like for us, and until then, we're incredibly grateful [Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh] for making miracles happen!“
Crawley met Dawkins – who has two daughters, 12 and 10 respectively, from a previous relationship – in late 2021.
Clare Crawley first hooked up with current husband Ryan Dawkins the same month her engagement to Dale Moss officially ended. “This photo was taken exactly one year ago,” the former Bachelorette wrote via Instagram on September 25, 2022. “He asked me out for dinner. I had no appetite. (Stressed and depressed) But I said yes to tea […]
“I wasn't ready to date again,” Crawley shared exclusively We weekly in October 2022 when she met her current husband shortly after ending her engagement Dale Moss. “The moment I was single, he said, 'Let me take you.' And he knew I was at such a low point and I told him I wasn't even ready to go out to dinner. I had to take space to have time for myself to heal. I didn't want him to be a rebound.”
After almost a year together, Dawkins proposed in October 2022 at the RISE Festival in Las Vegas.
“Everything in my world has changed since I met her. She is the love of my life and I wish the world knew the Clare I know,” he said. Us at the time. “She is one of the strongest women I know and is truly a bright spot. I love our life and [am] more than excited about our future.”

We had a small ceremony. We had the best vows to each other, super personal. It was spot on [where] we had our first kiss. It was just the biggest spot.”
