The latest season of Bachelor in Paradise closed on September 2, 2025, and among the standout stories was Dale Moss’s unexpected run. The South Dakota native, already known for his whirlwind engagement on The Bachelorette, made it into the top three couples of the season alongside fellow franchise veteran Kat Izzo.
A Familiar Face Returns to Paradise
Moss, 36, first captured national attention during season 16 of The Bachelorette in 2020 when he proposed to Clare Crawley after just four episodes. Although that relationship ended the following year, Moss returned to the Bachelor franchise for a second shot at love. This time, he found a steadier connection on the beaches of Costa Rica, where season 10 was filmed in May 2025.
On the second day of filming, Moss connected with Izzo, 29, and the two became inseparable throughout the season. They consistently exchanged roses, keeping each other safe week after week. Despite lasting until the finale, the couple didn’t leave engaged — a common expectation for finalists on the show — but they did depart as a solid pair still dating beyond Paradise.
Accusations and Resilience
Their journey wasn’t without bumps. Moss and Izzo faced allegations that Izzo was still seeing someone when she entered the show, accusations they both denied. The controversy ultimately led to their elimination as third runners-up, cutting short their bid for the $500,000 prize. Still, Moss emphasized that the experience strengthened his outlook: “You got to step outside the box and take some chances. And this one paid off,” he said during the finale episode.
Following their exit, Moss shared more about their relationship during a September 3 appearance on The Viall Files podcast. He admitted that staying in the public eye challenges any couple but reaffirmed his sense of self: “I know who I am, and I’m not trying to impress anyone.”
Life After Paradise
Today, Moss and Izzo continue their relationship as they figure out where to settle down together. Moss still resides in New York, where he runs a film production company, while Izzo is based in California. The pair said they are “navigating” a possible move to be in the same state. Fans won’t have to wait long for an update, as the couple is set to appear on the Bachelor Happy Hour reunion special on September 5, with parts one and two streaming on YouTube on September 6.
As Bachelor in Paradise season 10 ends, Moss’s journey highlights the franchise’s unpredictable nature. He may not have left with a ring, but he did leave with a partner — proving once again that Paradise is as much about love as it is about drama.
