Clare Crawley

Moynes was originally in the 's season.

The Bachelorette fell hard for contestant , as she ended her season two weeks into the production to be with his Moss.

The pair got engaged on the show, but Dale  earlier this year on Instagram, admitted he made “mistakes” after being accused of “cheating” on the TV star.

However, the two have rekindled in the last few months as and with the former NFL star by her side.

After Crawley's season of the show ended after only 12 days, Moynes confessed that he started stress balding.

He said, “Nothing made sense to me. Now it does. But at the time, I was literally shook. I was distraught. I started stress balding in the shower because I didn’t know that was going on.”

“It ended so abruptly. It was easy to just be like, ‘OK, fair enough,’” Moynes told Us Weekly in December 2020 about Crawley leaving early.

“She fell in love hard. And you know, she broke it off, like, too bad for us. It is what it is. It’s unfortunate, but that those things happen. I didn’t see it happening the way that it did, and I was shocked, but I got closure.”

Tayshia Adams

However, Moynes seemed to get over his initial shock and attempted his shot at love again, staying on and joining ’ season with the remaining 16 guys.

But in the end, he didn’t make it to the final cut when competing to win Adams' heart either - as Adams ended up engaged to Zac Clark.

“The connection [I had with Tayshia] was very slow. But every time that we’d make a step, I think I opened her eyes more and more and more,” he told Us.

“And I think you saw that a couple of times, like, ‘Every time I talk to Blake, he shows a different side of him.’ And that’s what happened.

"I think she had her guard up just like she said at the Men Tell All, I walked in with a red flag over my head [because I had feelings for Clare too].”

Katie Thurston

Thurston was shocked to see Moynes make his debut during her season premiere of the Bachelorette.

During the season premiere, Adams had an emotional sit-down with Thurston where she revealed that “someone from her past” reached out to her about the Washington native. 

“He cannot stop thinking about you and I know he’s ready for marriage,” Adams gushed of her ex. 

As the 30-year-old Bachelorette began to cry, she was told to go outside to see what man the host was referring to and found Moynes waiting in a green bomber jacket. 

The pair locked eyes and shared a long embrace before they sat down on a bench for a lengthy chat. 

She appeared surprised to see him and even admitted he was the “last person” she ever thought would join her season. 

"Your openness, your boldness are all things I’m very attracted to,” the Canadian gushed to Thurston. 

Appearing overwhelmed, she said in a confessional: “I’m so flustered. I’ve seen Blake on Tayshia’s season and he’s even DMed me before to compliment me on my bold personality.”

She then told him: “You’re a handsome guy. But the last person I expected to see here. It is concerning you’ve dated two Bachelorette’s and if you stay, I will be your third Bachelorette. 

“There’s a lot of issues in the house of people here for the right reasons and I want to make sure I do something that’s right.”
