The insider came forward after photos surfaced of Dale, 33, and Galey, 28, together and getting cozy after Dale's delivered his first TED Talk, a public speaking event, on May 21.
Galey has received criticism for being "annoying" by frequently "teasing" her new boyfriend without actually unveiling and introducing him to her Instagram followers. One person in particular slammed Galey for posting a "gratuitous thigh grab" among other clips she's uploaded.
"When I'm genuinely excited about something... [like] a new relationship I'm starting, I share it because it makes me happy... If my happy relationship stuff makes you uncomfortable, then muting my stories may be helpful to you," Galey wrote in reply to the troll, according to a screenshot she posted Monday on Instagram Stories.
"Furthermore, if I was really focused on creating 'engagement' & using anything as a 'ploy tactic'... I'd probably post on my page more than once a month. But that's not my focus... & right now, he is."
Dale was previously linked to Argentinian model, deejay and pro soccer player Florencia Galarza in January 2022, when the pair had been spotted walking together in New York City. In one picture obtained by The New York Post's Page Six, Florencia was holding Dale's arm as they did some shopping.
"It's very casual," an insider told Us at the time. "They aren't officially dating."
Another source told E! News earlier this year that Dale and Florencia were just "hooking up."
As for Galey, she reportedly broke up with her ex-fiance and then moved from Connecticut to Fort Lauderdale in 2020, where she started her own home renovation business.
Galey, who graduated from the University of Florida, has been open on social media about her prior battle with an eating disorder.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOWDale, a former football player from South Dakota, appeared on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season in 2020.
Clare -- who was dating one of her The Bachelorette alums, Blake Monar, earlier this year but appears to be single again -- cut The Bachelorette process very short and gave her final rose prematurely to Dale, whom she was smitten with immediately on Night 1.
Dale and Clare, however, briefly split in January 2021.
Multiple sources had described Dale as a "fame-seeker" and partyboy in New York City while Clare had been very clear from the start about her intentions to get married, settle down and have children in the near future.
Reports also swirled at the time Dale had cheated on Clare, although Dale firmly denied the cheating allegations.
Clare and Dale began going on dates again in February 2021, and then Dale confirmed they were back together in early April by posting a selfie with Clare on Instagram.
Once they reconciled, Dale's representative announced the former pro athlete's split from Clare -- once and for all -- in early October 2021, although they had reportedly already broken up in September of last year.
Clare allegedly blocked Dale after he had flown to her home in Sacramento, CA, on September 28 but left the following day for "a work obligation," which turned out to be a fitness event with The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron.

Following their breakup, Clare threw major shade at Dale on more than one occasion.
She ultimately thought he was fake and had put on a performance during their romance so he could achieve fame and boost his acting and modeling career.

Clare previously told Jana Kramer in a late October episode of the "Whine Down" podcast her "biggest regret" from The Bachelorette is "trusting a man," People reported.
"I trusted somebody, I believed somebody that they were who they said they were or that they would hold up to the promises that they make when they get down on one knee... [But] I don't regret that I loved loving him," Clare said at the time.
In regard to rumors Dale had "hooked up" with Abigail Heringer before her stint on Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season last year, Clare acknowledged breakups "can get very messy and very icky."
However, a source close to Dale told Us last year that Dale and Abigail "never kissed or had sex" and they were just "friends" after meeting at a flag football game in New York City.
Clare, on the other hand, told Jana that she knows what "happens behind closed doors."
"When you know the truth... I don't care for my side of the story, to be honest, to even be out there, even if I have receipts and proof, everything I need to show that I could really put it out there," Clare shared, according to People.
Not only was Clare dealing with a broken heart and her mother's health crisis in the fall, but she was also still recovering from having her breast implants removed.
"There was a lot on my plate... It all came crashing down at once," Clare noted.
Clare also said it was "painful" that she and Dale had never talked things out or found closure at the end of their hot-and-cold romance.

"Like I would have never walked... You're having to say goodbye to somebody you don't want to be saying goodbye to, you have to walk away from somebody you don't want to walk away from. It's hard, it's painful."
