Clare Crawley Reveals If She Wants Babies, Discusses Married Life, and Opens Up About Losing Her Dog
Spilling the tea.
Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley got engaged to Ryan Dawkins in October of last year shortly after introducing him to Bachelor Nation a month prior.
Then in February, the two officially tied the knot and Clare shared gorgeous photos from their wedding day.
Now, Clare is opening up about married life, kids, and more in a new Instagram Q&A.
The former Bachelorette took to her Instagram Stories to answer fan questions and one person asked how married life has been treating her.
Clare said, “Married life is the greatest! He has somehow managed to be all of the love languages wrapped in one and it melts me. My heart is so full and I just LOVE him beyond!!!!”
And while Clare has loved being Ryan’s daughters’ stepmom, another fan asked if she wanted any babies of her own.
Clare responded saying, “I’d have 20 of his babies if I could,” with the melting smiling emoji.
How sweet!
Another person asked Clare what happened to her dog Elbie and Clare got emotional with her answer.
She shared a photo of her pup and wrote, “In April he was doing zoomies in the morning and when I came home from visiting my mom that night he was so sick. He apparently had had a seizure while I was gone. We took him to the vet at midnight. She told us he wasn’t going to come back from it.”
Clare went on saying, “Elbie, Ryan, and I had our moment together, then he passed away in my arms. It was the most gut wrenching thing, and I still cry every day. Not because he’s gone, but because I was so blessed to have had 18 years with my little death row puppy that wasn’t supposed to live past 2. It was an honor.”
We’re sending Clare love as she mourns the loss of her dog, and we’re continuing to wish Clare and Ryan all the best in their marriage.
