Although Dale flirted with the idea of pursuing his immediate connection with Allyshia, he decided to commit to Kat.
Dale and Kat eventually left Paradise as a serious couple, but reports have been swirling that they recently split.
"I don't keep up with what Kat and Dale have been doing post-show, so I don't know about their current relationship status," Allyshia told Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt during a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
"I'm not surprised if they have split up, but I think that's just -- I'm a pretty big believer that, in time, the truth comes out and everything comes out."
The Bachelor alum continued, "But I am not one to champion any breakups, so I wish them both the best, if they did decide to go their separate ways."
When asked if she'd like to date Dale, Allyshia replied, "I don't have an interest in Dale anymore."
Allyshia suggested that dating in the real world is very different from looking for love on Bachelor in Paradise.
"It was one thing on the beach in Paradise had we had the opportunity to [date]," Allyshia noted.
"It's something I would've explored, but I think after the entire season and especially with him and the Kat drama, I just don't think that the same guy who is going to date Kat is going to be interested in having a serious relationship with me."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOWOnce Dale was no longer an option, Allyshia dated Sean McLaughlin in Paradise. However, Allyshia and Sean called it quits on their relationship before the finale aired.
"So for all intents and purposes, I date because I want a husband. I want to have kids; I want to start a family. And I'm really looking for somebody who is qualified and also wants that in return," Allyshia explained.
"So, yeah, I would say I don't look back and I'm moving forward. But [Kat and Dale's alleged breakup] is not surprising to me."
Allyshia also clarified that she's no longer friends with Sean and she's not currently dating anybody.
In early August, Allyshia claimed on the same podcast that she would've stolen Dale away from Kat had she arrived in Paradise sooner.
"I do think that had I come in Day 1 or Day 2 -- the earlier days -- I do think that Dale and I probably would've ended up being coupled up," Allyshia said at the time.
"I think we did have a lot more in common than him and Kat did, in some ways."
Allyshia recalled having "a really good conversation" with Dale right away.

And on top of that, Allyshia recalled, "Dale is more physically my type [than Sean]. I've dated tons of different-looking people, but if I had to say I have a type, it would be tall, dark and handsome. So he fits that bill. Sean is definitely a complete replica of my ex-boyfriend, which also scared me."

The Sun reported in late November that Dale and Kat have split up; however, neither person has confirmed the speculation.
According to The Sun report, which Us Weekly also subsequently confirmed, Dale and Kat quietly broke up in October after about six months together.
"They just decided they would be better off as friends and split over a month ago," a source told The Sun.
Years before his stint on Paradise, Dale had been engaged to The Bachelorette 16 star Clare Crawley.
