Who could it be? Clare hid behind a screen before her big announcement on live television
The Sacramento-based hairstylist went on to star on seasons one and two of Bachelor in Paradise, but came home empty-handed.
During Bachelor Winter Games, she was part of a love triangle with Christian Rauch and Benoit Beauséjour-Savard. Benoit proposed during a reunion special, only for the couple to call it quits on their engagement in 2018.
‘It’s all what’s on the inside for me,’ she said. ‘If you line up the guys that I have dated in the past, there’s no one thing I’m looking for physically.

‘It’s more, if they go out of their way for me, and they make me feel special because this is about me now and I’m ready for it.’
She admitted that her age would play an advantage while looking for a suitor with the show’s trusty host, Chris Harrison, by her side.
‘A lot of people put it out there as this negative thing, but for me, it just is more years under my belt, more learning and knowing what I want, what I don’t want and what I won’t settle for,’ she said.

And although she’s not ashamed of her years around the sun, she definitely has a type when looking for a match.
‘I have been known to date younger guys, so that’s not a problem for me,’ she said. ‘The thing is I’m wondering if they’re ready for me, for my age. I feel like that would be more of an issue, than me with them, because I feel so much younger at heart than my actual age.
‘I’m proud of my age, but I just feel younger and I feel like that to me is what’s important.’
