ABC’s ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ is less about chasing a cash prize and more about finding real connections. Season 10 brought plenty of chaos and disagreements among contestants, but it also highlighted strong pairings like Kat Izzo and Dale Moss. While the two did get into a few minor arguments, none of them were serious enough to shake their bond. Instead, they continued to grow together throughout the season and ultimately emerged as one of the top five finalist couples. They proved that their relationship could withstand the pressures of paradise.
Kat and Dale Faced a Few Issues, But They Worked Through Them
Kat Izzo’s time on the season began with a date alongside Jonathan Johnson. While she appreciated the experience and enjoyed getting to know him, Kat sensed that their connection lacked the deeper spark she was hoping for. That attitude shifted dramatically when Dale Moss entered the beach. From the moment he arrived and chose her for a date, Kat had no hesitation in saying yes. Their first outing was memorable and set the tone for what would become a strong connection. Sailing out on a catamaran, sipping champagne, and sharing easy laughter, Kat felt instantly comfortable with Dale. The chemistry was undeniable, and for her, there was no second-guessing. She felt sure about him.
However, their journey wasn’t entirely without challenges. Kat later discovered that Dale had kissed Alli Jo Hinkes, even after the group’s Kissing Challenge, and he hadn’t been upfront about it. The revelation left her hurt and angry and she questioned his honesty. Dale explained that he had avoided telling her because he dreaded the conversation and didn’t want to hurt her further. Despite the misstep, Kat trusted her instincts and decided to continue pursuing the relationship. When the rose ceremony night came, she chose to give her rose to Dale and said that she was willing to work through the bumps. From that point forward, the pair committed to each other fully. They managed to avoid any major arguments for the remainder of the season and showed great promise as a couple.
Kat and Dale Seem to Have Resolved Their Issues and Are Still Going Strong
The biggest source of drama from the season came when Allyshia Gupta alleged that Kat had secretly been in a relationship with someone from Florida and had not been truthful about it. She claimed that Sean McLaughlin, with whom Kat had previously fallen out, had a best friend who told her that Kat had been dating him during the season. Allyshia even alleged that Kat had sneaked her iPad to maintain communication and that she continued speaking with this man. It was added that Kat would even write messages on her arm, hoping the cameras would catch them.
Almost immediately after these revelations surfaced, Kat responded by posting a picture with a romantic caption that strongly hinted her relationship with Dale was secure and not in jeopardy. Dale later addressed the situation in an interview, explaining that while he could not confirm or deny the specific claims, what mattered to him was the relationship he had built with Kat. He noted that if Kat had shared something with the other person, it may not have been serious, and he did not feel the need to dwell on it.
Both Kat and Dale have made it clear that their focus remains on their relationship with one another. Kat even joked, “At least I know he can handle my crash outs,” to which Dale sweetly replied, “Worth every second! It was tough at times, but we navigated it together… and I wouldn’t change a thing.” Their candid and affectionate exchanges suggest that they have successfully moved past the rumors. Whether they managed to put the speculation to rest or simply chose to rise above it, the couple appears to be firmly in their own bubble.

Kat Works in Healthcare, While Dale Has Continued His Association With Sports
Kat Izzo has built a career in healthcare while building her growing public profile. She is a registered nurse and a certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Florida in 2019. Kat has dedicated much of her professional work to patient care at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, where she gained invaluable experience in oncology nursing. Beyond her medical career, Kat became a recognizable face to viewers when she appeared on ‘The Bachelor’ season 27, which gave her a platform outside of her nursing role and introduced her to a wider audience.
Dale Moss, meanwhile, has taken a different but equally dynamic path. A former professional football wide receiver, he transitioned into public life after appearing on ‘The Bachelorette’ season 16, where he became engaged to Clare Crawley. Although that engagement ended, the experience cemented his status as a reality TV personality. Since then, Dale has focused on media opportunities, brand collaborations, and his role as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador. He used his platform to champion inclusion and athletic empowerment.
