Who is Dale Moss? Former NFL player and Clare Crawley's ex joins 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10
The 36-year-old former NFL wide receiver is best known for his whirlwind engagement to Clare Crawley on The Bachelorette Season 16. Their rapid connection led to an engagement after just 12 days of filming. The pair ultimately parted ways in 2021, and Crawley later married Ryan Dawkins.
Moss, who most recently ended a two-year relationship with HGTV's Galey Alix in late 2024, says he's joining Paradise with an open heart. 'Honestly, I'm in Paradise just to be open to the experience,' he told People. 'I kind of want to just escape... meeting someone is very important to me.'
Jesse Palmer, host of Bachelor in Paradise, expressed enthusiasm for Moss's return, saying, 'I was really excited to see what kind of impact [Dale] would have at the beach… and I think it's safe to say he had a pretty big impact.'
Moss is a multi-hyphenate talent: former NFL player, actor, host, and global ambassador for Special Olympics. He runs Moss Martin Media, focused on diverse storytelling, and has worked with major platforms like ESPN, ABC, and Amazon Prime.
Reflecting on his personal growth since The Bachelorette, Moss shared, 'I've learned a lot more about boundaries… I know what type of woman I want, and I'm not really trying to impress anyone.'
Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise premiered July 7 on ABC.

Dennis Rodman criticizes Travis Hunter marriage to Leanna Lenee amid online scrutiny and public debate
Former NBA champion Dennis Rodman drew attention after making comments about Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter and his wife, Leanna Lenee. During a livestream with YouTuber N3on, Rodman was asked what advice he would give a 21-year-old to grow as a person. After a pause, he replied, 'Just don't be Travis Hunter,' before laughing and dismissing the situation as 'fake news.' Hunter, who won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft, married Lenee this summer after years of dating. Despite their history together, the couple has been the subject of criticism online, with some accusing Lenee of pursuing Hunter for his fame. These claims intensified during Hunter's Heisman season at the University of Colorado, particularly after a viral ceremony moment in which Lenee was perceived as distant. Lenee has spoken openly about the emotional impact of such scrutiny. In July, she posted a TikTok video showing herself in tears from December 2024, describing how her faith helped her move forward. 'The amount you can grow and develop in just six months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding,' she wrote. The post drew supportive comments, including encouragement from WNBA star Angel Reese. Hunter has also defended his wife. On a Twitch stream following the Heisman ceremony, he revealed that Lenee often cried herself to sleep under the pressure of online attacks. He urged social media pages to stop targeting her, warning of the harm the negativity was causing. 'If she's hurting, I'm hurting,' Hunter said. Rodman, known for his outspoken remarks, has now added his voice to the ongoing debate surrounding the young couple's relationship.

Is Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl? Singer teases halftime show appearance during album reveal
Taylor Swift has sparked speculation that she could headline the Super Bowl halftime show after dropping a series of clues while announcing her new album The Life Of A Showgirl on boyfriend Travis Kelce's sports podcast. The singer revealed her 12th record's title and tracklist during the New Heights show, hosted by Travis and his brother Jason Kelce. Alongside the announcement, fans noticed references pointing to the NFL final, which will be staged at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where Travis's Kansas City Chiefs are favourites to feature. Taylor repeatedly mentioned the number 47, noting her Eras Tour's 47th show was at Levi's Stadium. She also thanked the Kelce brothers for 'screaming for 47 seconds' and joked she had performed in '47,000 countries.' Swift told listeners: 'I love numerology, I love math stuff, I love dates. That's stuff I find really fun.' Her new album artwork features an orange theme, which fans have linked to both California's Orange County and the Chiefs' red-and-yellow kit, colours that combine to create orange. The podcast backdrop added to speculation, with a Lombardi Trophy, a glass microphone and a figurine of Travis in his team kit all visible behind the pair. Swift had previously turned down Super Bowl offers to concentrate on re-recording her first six albums, but in May confirmed she had regained ownership of her master recordings.

Taylor Swift helps New Heights dethrone Joe Rogan on Spotify
The New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, has claimed the No. 1 spot on Spotify's charts after its highly anticipated episode featuring Taylor Swift — overtaking The Joe Rogan Experience. On August 12, the hosts teased a mystery guest for their return episode, later revealing Swift as the special guest. Released on August 13, the episode included Swift announcing her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, which quickly went viral across social media. According to Spotify's Podcast Charts, New Heights secured the top position in three categories: Top Episodes, Trending Podcasts, and the Sports subgenre. In the overall trending rankings, it surpassed The Joe Rogan Experience, Good Hang with Amy Poehler, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. In sports, it beat Pardon My Take, The Bill Simmons Podcast, and Fantasy Footballers. The momentum extended beyond Spotify. On TikTok, Swift's album reveal clip gained over 8 million views, with thousands of fan comments. A tracklist reveal clip earned similar numbers. On YouTube, the video version has been viewed over 15 million times, with fans speculating it could challenge the Guinness World Record for the most-watched podcast episode, currently just over 110 million views. This is not the first time a Kelce-led project has unseated Joe Rogan. In 2024, Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie, debuted her podcast Not Gonna Lie, which also took the top spot after one episode. With Swift's global fanbase and the Kelce brothers' rising popularity, New Heights has firmly established itself as a podcast powerhouse.
