Tyler Cameron Isn't The Next 'Bachelor,' But He's Definitely Winning At Life
He's everywhere right now.
Instagram When we were just two episodes into Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette, Reality Steve said it looked like all signs pointed to Tyler Cameron winning Hannah's heart. We know that's wrong now. Tyler Cameron didn't win Hannah Brown's heart on 'The Bachelorette,' but he's definitely winning at life. He's been romantically linked to supermodel Gigi Hadid. He's doing the rounds of press largely talking about how he hid the oh so many erections he had while filming, and rumor has it he was approached to be 'The Bachelor.' Who is Tyler Cameron?
1. He's a contractor with an MBA
Tyler Cameron is 26 and a general contractor from Jupiter, Florida. He also has his MBA. Despite this background, Tyler is not all business. He also loves to dance. In fact, he loves to dance so much that he was just two credits short of having a dance minor during his undergraduate years at Wake Forest University and Florida Atlantic University.
2. He played college football and was in the NFL Draft
The 6'2" former athlete had a pretty impressive football career during college. He played two years at Wake Forest and then transferred to Florida Atlantic to play. He was a tight end. He transferred due to injuries. When he graduated with his bachelor's he still had eligibility left with the NCAA because of those injuries. He was able to get his MBA at FAU while continuing to play football. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens but never played in the NFL due to a bad shoulder injury.
3. He's a model
Tyler Cameron isn't just a former football player, general contractor and fan of dance — he's also a model. When the NFL didn't pan out for him, he signed with NEXT Model Management to strut his stuff on runways and in print.
4. He doesn't have a lot of relationship experience
According to his bio on ABC, Tyler has only been in one serious relationship prior to going down The Bachelorette rabbit hole. He's not worried, though. An insider close to him said: "He will know when he meets the right one because that love will ‘smack him right in the face.’” The insider was pretty confident that Tyler would make a big impression on the former Miss Alabama. “Knowing who he is, he's a very outgoing guy, who is going to be great on TV. He is going to be really close with the guys. He is a great friend, everyone loves him. I don’t think he is going to cause any drama,” they said.
5. Tyler and Gigi sitting in a tree
Tyler Cameron and Gigi Hadid have been spotted out and about getting cozy ever since the final episode of The Bachelorette aired. There's still some speculation on whether or not they're dating or just friends and if you care to Google the topic, you'll find articles that are absolutely positive the two are in love and articles that proclaim the two are just pals. One thing we do know, neither Tyler nor Gigi are talking about each other publicly.
6. Was he approached to be The Bachelor?
As we all know now, Peter Weber is the next Bachelor. But, Screenrant reports that Tyler Cameron was approached first to be the man to date 20+ twenty-something women and he turned it down. It sounds like Tyler has enough going on right now without adding the responsiblity of being The Bachelor!
7. About all those erections
Apparently, attraction wasn't an issue for Tyler with Hannah Brown. During the filming of The Bachelorette, he had to hide his erections from the camera time and time again, according to Us Weekly. He specifically spoke about the episode when the cast traveled to Scotland. Don't worry though! He was able to keep it all together and the editing team made sure his private parts didn't make the final cut.
