’Bachelor in Paradise’s Dale Moss Raises Major Red Flags After That Romantic Yacht Date [Exclusive]

July 21, 2025

Trouble may already be brewing for one of Bachelor in Paradise season 10’s strongest couples. Dale Moss, winner of The Bachelorette season 16, connected with Paradise veteran Kat Izzo the moment he stepped on the beach. After a romantic yacht date, Kat gave Dale a rose, and he returned the gesture at the following rose ceremony. Kat has been committed to this coupling since day one, and though she has remained Dale’s main focus, he has been a bit more open to exploring other connections in Paradise. Tonight, things get complicated for the couple, and red flags start waving.

Secrets, Kissing Booth Fallout, and ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Couple Kat and Dale Teeter on the Edge

In an exclusive clip shared with Collider of tonight’s episode, Dale finds himself in hot water as Kat sullenly presses him about other women: “If a girl comes in next week, that you would be attracted to or like, want to explore, is that something that you’re still like, open to doing?” Dale offers a half-hearted denial, but his subconscious seems to betray him—he brings up Allie Jo. Though she was eliminated in the previous rose ceremony, Dale briefly explored a connection with her. He says he liked her as a person, but couldn’t seem to find a spark with her.

In last week’s chemistry test, contestants were sent to a secret kissing booth to lock lips with anyone with whom they shared a mutual interest. Kat showed up only to kiss Dale, solidifying her loyalty with a passionate kiss. But things became a bit complicated when Dale stuck around to kiss Alexe Godin, Zoe McGrady, and Allie Jo Hinkes.

Kat continues her line of questioning, the tension between them thickening. Kat’s suspicions are growing, and she doesn’t want to let this go. It seems the couple debriefed after the Kiss and Don’t Tell Challenge; she knows Dale and Allie Jo liaised in the kissing booth, but now she needs to know if anything ever happened outside that challenge. Dale hesitates, caught off guard, before finally coming clean, “uh, you know…one time.”

Now Kat is seriously concerned. “His actions aren’t aligning with what he says,” she reveals in a confessional. “I think a pink flag has turned to a red flag.” At this point, she’s questioning everything and her walls are up. Kat and Dale quickly became one of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10’s strongest couples after they bonded on a romantic boat date, where Kat gave Dale her final rose after he showed some chivalry. Dale briefly explored a connection with Alli during the kissing booth challenge, but ultimately chose to stay committed to Kat, sharing in a confessional that he felt a special connection to Kat, something he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

‘Bachelor in Paradise’s new format is coming up roses.

In the clip, Kat confides in Jonathan Johnson, sharing that she doesn’t know “what’s real.” He agrees her walls should be up in this situation. “I don’t think I’ve been told the whole story about him a Zoe,” she says to him. “I don’t think I’ve been told the whole story about him and Alex.” Also, how does Dale not realize everything is recorded—and will be on TV? “Like do you know that everything is being reported? So like come on. If he does that again, I don’t know what I could say, like keep going,” she concludes.
