Two days after Moss’ social media announcement, Crawley broke her silence and, in the process, addressed being caught off guard by her ex-fiancé. “I was made aware of a ‘mutual’ statement at the same time you all were,” she told fans on Instagram Jan. 21, “so I’ve needed some time to really digest this. Speaking for myself, my intentions with this relationship have always been very clear, so the truth is I am crushed. This was not what I expected or hoped for and am still trying to process this.”
The reality star went on to reflect on the many challenges she faced over the last year, including her high-profile romance. “2020 was one hell of a year, with covid, battling severe anxiety post-show, balancing a public new relationship, all while slowly losing my mother,” Crawley wrote. “It hasn’t been ideal circumstances, but that is life right. I have been looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel. Our relationship was not perfect, but I can say that I was genuinely invested with all of my heart. I may not have all the answers, but I do know this—I will continue to show up, stand by my word, and be committed to love.”
As for Moss, he still wants the best for them both. “He is committed to staying on good terms with Clare,” the close source shared, “and has nothing but love and respect for her.”
