Clare, who starred on Season 16 of The Bachelorette, flashed her big diamond sparkler Monday on her Instagram Stories, Us Weekly reported.
Clare, 41, posted a video of herself sipping a juice box and eating saltine crackers, and what appeared to be her engagement ring was on full display.
After Clare and Dale broke up in January, they were spotted holding hands and going on dates in February.
A source told Us in March that nothing had been "made official with regards to an engagement," and another insider noted Clare and Dale were "taking things slowly" after getting back together and simply "supporting each other."
But Clare and Dale appeared to confirm their reconciliation earlier this month when Dale posted a mirror selfie on April 7 of the couple drinking coffee together on Instagram Stories and captioned it, "Selfie skills on [100]."
Clare, who lives in California, and Dale, a South Dakota native who currently resides in New York City, also documented an enjoyable boat trip they had taken to observe the Statue of Liberty on her Instagram.
Clare reportedly gave fans a tour of her bike ride through Manhattan and hinted she and Dale were apartment hunting together by posting a video from inside a vacant apartment with a nice view of the Empire State Building, according to People.

During a recent appearance on the Hollywood Raw podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Dale shared that "everyone will know in due time" about where his relationship with Clare really stands.
"We're just living life and we're doing it and being present with one another. It's been great to go about it that way," Dale explained.

In addition, Dale denied ever cheating on Clare given rumors circulated he had been unfaithful to The Bachelorette alum following their engagement and that played a big role in their breakup.
"That was never a conversation, even when we went through our split. It wasn't even a thing. You really have to look past that and focus on one another. I mean, that sucked," Dale said on the podcast.
"When things are going at your character, and something you're completely against, those are the hardest things to handle."
Dale, however, expressed relief those rumors were "short-lived" and claimed he doesn't lose sleep at night over things that are not truthful or in his character to do.
Clare and Dale got engaged last summer, just two weeks into filming The Bachelorette's sixteenth season.
Dale announced his split from Clare on January 19, saying the pair had arrived at "the healthiest decision" for the "both" of them, but then Clare revealed two days later she had been blindsided by Dale's public statement.

Clare admitted she was "crushed" by the breakup given her intentions to settle down with Dale and start a family had "always been very clear."
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 described Dale as a "fame-seeker," according to E! News.
It's been widely reported Dale "broke it off" with Clare because he wanted to continue living in New York City while Clare felt the need to stay in Sacramento, CA, and tend to her mother, who battles Alzheimer's disease.
"[Dale] doesn't want to give up the party life. He loves the NYC scene," a source previously told E! News. "His partying would be a problem in their relationship and would cause many fights."
And the E! News source noted of Clare, "She just wants to get married, settle down and have children. They were on complete different pages."
Dale insisted on his Instagram Stories at the time that the split "didn't come out of nowhere" and he was struggling to move on, according to Us.

"I love Clare and respect Clare enough to let her know how I feel, even if that's against the expectations of everybody else, and it's gonna take time," Dale reportedly shared on January 25.
"I wanted nothing more than to make this relationship work, and I put my heart and soul into it each and every day. And I wanted nothing more than to build a healthy relationship."
Dale subsequently broke down to his followers in an Instagram video and said he was "hurting."
"This has f-cking rocked me. I felt so many emotions, so much guilt, but also so much confusion, so much hurt, and I know that we both have... But the reality of it is, life isn't perfect," Dale reportedly lamented, on the verge of tears.

One month after announcing their breakup, a source told Us that Dale and Clare were working on their relationship, "spending time together" and "figuring things out."
"Dale has been pretty secretive with friends when they're asking if he's back with Clare, but it's obvious to everyone that they're back together," a source said in February.
Clare was convinced she had met her future husband when Dale stepped out of a limo on Night 1 of The Bachelorette's sixteenth season and took her breath away.

Clare's journey on the show ended prematurely after about two weeks with a steamy overnight date with Dale that led to Dale getting down on one knee and proposing 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."
Dale recently claimed he had turned down the opportunity to compete on The Bachelorette multiple times after being nominated for the show but changed his mind once Clare was announced as the show's sixteenth-season star in March 2020.
