Dale Moss Accused of Cheating on Clare Crawley
Though Dale Moss insisted on Instagram that his split from Clare was amicable, multiple sources close to the situation claim otherwise. As it turns out, during their five-month engagement, Clare believes Dale was cheating on her, those sources told E! News. The woman in question is NYC-based realtor Eleonora Srugo. (A source close to Dale claims she is just a longtime friend helping him find an apartment.As the insider put it, "This is an innocent friendship.")
And while Clare has always been skeptical of their so-called friendship, "Dale would always reassure Clare that it was nothing serious," says a source with knowledge of the circumstances. The insider says "multiple people have told Clare that Dale was parading around NYC with this girl."
Despite this being "a root cause of a lot of their arguments," according to the first source, it wasn't their only point of contention. The source claims Dale "loves the NYC scene" while Clare "just wants to get married, settle down and have children."
Their relationship took another turn when Dale announced the split on Instagram, a move Clare "felt completely blindsided" by, says the source. "She believed they were working on their relationship," the insider adds. However, the Dale source claims he told Clare about it before sharing: "She asked him some time to process it all. Dale respected that and waited."
Now, Clare is confident Dale's true colors will be exposed. "She feels he knew the truth was going to come out about his shady friendship," says the source. "She feels he wanted to break up quickly because the truth was eventually going to come out."
