ABC/Craig Sjodin(LOS ANGELES) — (NOTE LANGUAGE) Bachelorette stars Clare Crawley and Dale Moss admit they are both struggling with their breakup last week.

Moss, 32, first broke the news January 19 that he and Crawley, 39, were no longer together.  A few days later, the former Bachelorette inferred that she was blindsided by the reveal and needed some time to “really digest this.”

A week after the bombshell announcement, the two said they are healing from the heartbreak.

In an Instagram live video posted Saturday, Clare spoke openly with fans about how she is trying to bounce back from the fallout, admitting, “I was struggling pretty bad and I held it in for a long time and I think in manifested in other ways and kind of built up and was just heavy and a lot.”

“I’m getting to the point now where I’m trying really hard to come back from that and make a U-turn because it’s a dark place to be in when you’ve got a lot of stuff compiled on each other,” she added while fighting through tears.

The reality star says that she is practicing gratitude every day and is reaching out to her family to help her heal.

On the flip side, Moss told his followers that breaking off the engagement has “wrecked” him.

Also taking to Instagram live on Saturday, the former NFL star tearfully revealed, “This has f****** rocked me. I felt so many emotions, so much guilt, but also so much confusion, so much hurt.”

Moss added that he is “looking for answers” while trying to heal, explaining, “My pops would always say you gotta hurt before you heal.”

The former couple met and became engaged on season 16 of The Bachelorette.

Neil Lupin/Redferns(NEW YORK) — Tony Bennett’s family has revealed that for the last four years, the legendary crooner, who’s 94, has been battling Alzheimer’s disease.

Breaking their silence in AARP The Magazine, the family explains that Bennett’s long-awaited sequel to his Grammy-winning 2014 album with Lady Gaga, Cheek to Cheek, is going to be released this spring, but because of his condition, Bennett cannot participate in any interviews.  That’s why, they say, they decided to go public with the diagnosis.

When Bennett’s son and manager Danny asked Lady Gaga how she felt about the family revealing Bennett’s condition, Danny notes that she said, “Absolutely.  It’s just another gift he can give to the world.'”  The forthcoming album was recorded between 2018 and 2020.  

The article also reveals that even after Bennett’s diagnosis, he was still able to tour and perform a 90-minute set so well that nobody suspected anything was wrong.  His last live show was in March of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but his doctor recommended that the star continue to sing, because it’s so helpful in managing his illness, the hallmark of which is increasing dementia and memory challenges.  In fact, Bennett’s longtime pianist comes to his apartment twice a week and runs through his 90-minute set with him. 

Amazingly, even though Bennett is often unaware of where he is and cannot recognize everyday objects, he can sing all this songs perfectly.  As Bennett’s neurologist tells AARP The Magazine, “He is doing so many things, at 94, that many people without dementia cannot do. He really is the symbol of hope for someone with a cognitive disorder.”

In fact, Tony’s wifem Susan, tells the magazine, “Singing is everything to him…If he ever stops singing, that’s when we’ll know…hopefully he’ll just go to sleep one night and that will be that.”

“He’s not the old Tony anymore,” she adds, heartbreakingly. “But when he sings, he’s the old Tony.”
