Q: Whatever happened to the older woman who was chosen as “The Bachelorette” and left early in the season because she found “the one”? Are they still together? – J.K.
A: Only in Hollywood is 39 considered old, but that’s how old Clare Crawley was when she was chosen by ABC to be their “Bachelorette” for season 16 of the show. She surprised viewers by quitting after just 12 days of filming because she said she already found her man – 31-year-old contestant Dale Moss. Alas, Crawley didn’t find her happily ever after with him.
The couple did get engaged, but had a rocky on- and off-again relationship, finally breaking up for good in September 2021. After getting her heart broken, Crawley found love the following year with Mascot Sports CEO Ryan Dawkins. She told People magazine, “He’s not after fame and … he is so consistent and so vocal about how much he loves me.”
Crawley won’t be competing on any reality dating shows anymore, since she happily said “I do” to Dawkins earlier this year and is expecting her first child, via surrogate, in January 2024.
Q: I’m really surprised Carol Burnett didn’t get nominated for an Emmy for “Better Call Saul.” Isn’t there a special category for guest-star parts? I thought she’d be a shoo-in. – G.M.
A: Comedy legend Carol Burnett did a spectacular job in her impactful role on the final season of “Better Call Saul.” However, according to Rolling Stone, she wasn’t eligible for the Outstanding Guest Actress category because she appeared in “one episode too many” and was thus submitted for consideration in the Supporting Actress category instead. Alas, that category was highly competitive and saturated with actresses from “The White Lotus,” leaving Burnett off the nominations list.
“Better Call Saul” aired its series finale right after voting ended for last year’s Emmys, putting it at a disadvantage for this year’s nominations. Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn are contenders in their respective acting categories, and the ceremony is expected to air on Fox this September.

Q: I just read that Margot Robbie has been married for several years. I’ve never seen her husband walking the red carpet with her at award shows. Who is he? – O.T.
A: The twice-Oscar-nominated actress and star of the upcoming film “Barbie” has been quietly married since 2016 to film producer Tom Ackerley. They met a decade ago on the set of Robbie’s movie “Suite Francaise” where he was the assistant director. The two now own a production company and have produced several of Robbie’s films, including “I, Tonya.”
As for red carpet appearances, the couple did appear before photographers on the pink carpet at the world premiere event for “Barbie” at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. They’ll also be producing partners for her upcoming film, a yet-to-be-titled “Ocean’s Eleven” sequel. At only 33 years old each, the couple will hopefully have many more years together conquering Hollywood.
