Did you know Ray J once looked for love on reality TV? Did you miss Bravo’s marathon of the short-lived NYC Prep? Is there a Bachelor-shaped hole in your heart? If you answered yes to any of the above, we’ve got the cure to beat your quarantine boredom.

The show must go on for The Bachelorette—one way or another. During an appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Robert Mills, head of alternative programming at ABC, discussed what exactly is going on with the upcoming season starring Clare Crawley.

Clare Crawley, 39, had just been announced as ABC’s newest Bachelorette and was clearly excited to start her journey at finding love after infamously dumping season 18 Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis, 38, though the Coronavirus had different plans and production took an unexpected halt, but experts are saying that this will actually help her shot at finding true love.

The season premiere of has officially been postponed. The ABC dating show's newest season was supposed to debut on Monday, May 18 — however fans have noticed that slot has now been taken for the finale of another spinoff,. (The music-driven show premieres on April 13, and was originally supposed to conclude the week before .) 

Just because Bachelorette filming has been postponed doesn’t mean the show can’t go on! That’s why Us Weekly is reliving season 16 leading lady Clare Crawley’s most dramatic moments from her time in the franchise.

There's a revenge dress and there's a breakup dress... It's safe to say that Bachelorette star Clare Crawley had one of the most memorable breakup dresses in Bachelor Nation history.

Clare Crawley found a piece of The Bachelor history hanging in her closet.

The Bachelorette’s Clare Crawley revealed on Saturday, April 4, that she kept the dress she wore when she split with Juan Pablo Galavis during the Bachelor finale in 2014.

Wow, add this to the list of reasons why I'm so frickin' pumped for : Clare just shared that she kept the dress that she wore to Juan Pablo Galavis' finale rose ceremony all the way back in 2014—and let's take another look at that dress, shall we?

Staying positive. Although her season of The Bachelorette has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Clare Crawley is staying optimistic.

Chris Harrison is explaining that they hope to get to work on Clare Crawley‘s season of The Bachelorette when they can.

It was an inspiring moment, when Bachelor Nation reached into its past and named Clare Crawley, who first appeared on The Bachelor in 2014, as the next Bachelorette. Now also a veteran of Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor Winter Games, Clare remains best known for telling Juan Pablo Galavis off when he gave her the brush before not-proposing to Nikki Ferrell and shirking the usual declaration of love that caps off each season (even when the declarer later has second thoughts).

Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette is on hold due to coronavirus concerns, and the holdup could work out in her favor. Clare, the new star of season 16 who previously appeared on season 18 of The Bachelor, seasons one and two of Bachelor in Paradise and on Bachelor Winter Games, appeared on longtime host Chris Harrison's Instagram live and chatted about the situation surrounding her season.

It’s been more than five years since Juan Pablo Galavis and Clare Crawley went their separate ways, but the season 18 Bachelor still wonders what could have happened if he picked her instead of Nikki Ferrell.

A new crop of suitors? Chris Harrison believes a new group of men could be competing for Clare Crawley‘s affections on The Bachelorette due to the coronavirus.
