Clare’s crush on Ryan dates back to 2017, when she took to social media to gush over him after he was nominated for the Cosmopolitan X Tinder Bachelor of the Year.

‘So, um, pretty sure I just found my soulmate on Instagram,’ Clare shared with her followers at the time.

She then directly mentioned Ryan’s profile handle, @aussiedogguy, to ensure that he’d be notified of her post, followed by the hashtags: ‘#AnimalRescue #LovesDogs #Hot #Single #LivesInAnotherState <- #Thatsannoying.’

They certainly have a lot in common, with a shared past in reality television and a passion for fostering animals.

Clare has been on a weight loss journey since 2018, gradually shedding the pounds she put on after filming Married At First Sight back in 2016.

The former blonde, who is now a vivacious red head, previously told New Idea that she weighed 119kg at her heaviest and was ordering three pizzas a day.

At the time, she told the publication that her resentment over her failed TV marriage to Jono Pitman was partially behind her weight gain.

‘I was still holding on to resentment that Jono and I were both set up to fail on MAFS and I finally realised that was just a waste of time,’ she confessed. ‘I had to let it go.’ 

She added: ‘I still have a curvy body with rolls, wrinkles and cellulite, but I have totally accepted this and no longer need validation from others.’
