Clare was heartbroken after her split with Declan, but she later found solace after dating a man whom she met at London Night Club Trap.
Her new beau, heating engineer Dan Rawlings supported her as she reeled from the heartbreak. The pair became intimate and their relationship got a little serious. But her obsession with her ex-boyfriend, Dec kept continuing.

As of 2018, Clare is reportedly single. Her Wikipedia page suggests that she has a son born in 2013, but the information hasn’t been verified.
