The source added that Clare and Dale's relationship "didn't end well," suggesting they are currently not on amicable terms.
The couple reportedly couldn't agree on multiple significant relationship issues, including what state they wanted to live in and how soon they wanted to begin having children.
After Clare and Dale got engaged on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season last year, they announced their breakup in January 2021, only to begin seeing each other again and going on dates the following month.
Dale confirmed in an April 7 Instagram selfie that he and Clare were back together, and the pair proceeded to celebrate their one-year anniversary in July -- but it appears their reconciliation was short lived.
An insider also confirmed the news of Clare and Dale's recent breakup with E! News.
Rumors have been swirling for days Clare and Dale broke up for the second time because they haven't been spotted in public together, and Dale even appeared to celebrate his 33rd birthday on September 24 without the former The Bachelorette star.
Clare did not publicly wish Dale a "happy birthday," nor did she "like" or comment on his own birthday post.
Dale also reportedly attended Fashion Week events and a recent Coldplay concert at the Apollo sans Clare.
And Dale saw a screening of the new movie Dear Evan Hansen at the Whitby hotel with a group of male friends, The Post reported.
In addition, Dale also attended the September 19 wedding of a friend by himself even though Clare had also been invited as Dale's guest, according to Us Weekly.

More than two weeks have passed since Clare and Dale lasted posted anything about each other on Instagram, and they are typically very vocal about their romance and whereabouts.
The last Instagram post of Clare and Dale together dates back to September 10, when Clare shared a slideshow of photos from the U.S. Open tennis tournament, one of which featured Dale by her side along with fellow The Bachelorette couple Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes.
Earlier this summer, Clare and Dale's relationship seemed stronger than ever. They had even been spotted wearing matching rings.
"They are engaged again, but a second proposal did not happen," a source close to Clare told E! News in July. "Clare has been wearing her ring for months and put it back on once Dale stepped up and they decided to give their relationship another shot."
"It's more of a promise and commitment from Dale and there's no wedding planning at this time," the source added.
"They had a conversation over a month ago about their future and decided that they wanted to be engaged again... They aren't rushing anything and aren't even living together permanently yet."

Clare's journey on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season in 2020 ended prematurely after about two weeks. Producers planned a steamy overnight date for the couple and then Dale proposed marriage seemingly the next day.
Once Tayshia Adams took over Clare's The Bachelorette season, Clare and Dale sat down with host Chris Harrison during a November 2020 episode and expressed how they both believed they had found love at first sight.
When Chris asked what was next for the couple, Clare immediately shouted, "Babies!"
But Dale noted he'd like to get married before welcoming children.
"I've never been afraid of commitment," Dale told People in a joint interview with Clare last year.
"And when I met Clare, I knew I was all in. She lights a fire in me that I was missing for so long."
But on January 19, Dale announced he and Clare had decided to split and arrived at "the healthiest decision" for the "both" of them.
Clare then revealed two days later she had actually been blindsided by Dale's public statement.
Clare wrote on Instagram, "I was made aware of a 'mutual' statement at the same time you all were, so I've needed some time to really digest this."

The Season 16 The Bachelorette star added that she had been "genuinely invested with all of [her] heart" into Dale and their relationship, although it "was not perfect."
Multiple sources had described Dale as a "fame-seeker" in the wake of his split from Clare, according to E! News.
"[Dale] doesn't want to give up the party life. He loves the NYC scene," a source told E! News earlier this year. "His partying would be a problem in their relationship and would cause many fights."
Reports also swirled Dale had cheated on Clare, which he firmly denied in the press.
Dale insisted on his Instagram Stories in late January that he loves and respects Clare and "wanted nothing more" than to make their relationship work.
"I put my heart and soul into it each and every day. And I wanted nothing more than to build a healthy relationship," Dale insisted, later adding that he was "hurting" from the breakup.
