Tyler Cameron is perhaps the most popular rejected suitor to come out of The Bachelorette franchise. In a new interview, he details the ‘pressure’ of maintaining this ‘perfect’ body on the show. What did he have to say?
Tyler Cameron Returns To Reality TV This Fall
Bachelor Nation fans first fell in love with Tyler Cameron when he was on Season 15 of The Bachelorette. He made it to the final episode, but Hannah Brown turned down his proposal and chose Jed Wyatt instead.
Her relationship with Wyatt didn’t last long, and she remained friendly with Tyler Cameron. So friendly, in fact, that constant dating rumors followed them for years.
Earlier this summer, Hannah Brown got engaged to Adam Woolard after two years of dating.
Tyler Cameron is single at the moment, but don’t expect to see him pop up on Bachelor In Paradise. He once had the chance to be the next Bachelor but turned it down and doesn’t seem interested in looking for love again in the Bachelor Nation universe.
That doesn’t mean he’s done with reality TV. Last year he competed on Fox’s The Real Dirty Dancing, once again coming in second place.
This fall, he returns to Fox on Season 2 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The show puts reality stars to the test with boot-camp-style activities.
Interestingly, Hannah Brown and former professional soccer player Carli Lloyd won the first season.
Tyler Cameron won’t be the only Bachelor Nation alum on Season 2. Nick Viall, who is expecting his first child with his fiance Natalie Joy, is among the 14 celebrities competing in harsh conditions.
Others include actress Tara Reid, Chrisley Knows Best star Savannah Chrisley, 90210 alum Brian Austin Green, and the man behind #scandoval, Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval.
Special Forces premieres on Fox on Monday, September 25, 2023. Who are you rooting for?
How Did He React To News BFF Matt James’ Mom’s Golden Bachelor Casting?
Tyler Cameron and Season 25 Bachelor Matt James have been buddies since college. So, when Matt James’ mom, Patty, was announced as a contestant on the upcoming Golden Bachelor, Tyler Cameron weighed in.
According to US Weekly, Cameron reported a photo of Patty James on his Instagram Stories with the caption, “Looking fine as frog hairs.” He tagged his bestie in the post.
Luckily for Bachelor Nation and Tyler Cameron fans, the first-ever Golden Bachelor is airing on Thursdays instead of its usual Monday timeslot. Dancing With The Stars is returning to the network after airing exclusively on Disney+ last season.
The Golden Bachelor and Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise premiere on ABC on Thursday, September 28.
Tyler Cameron Talks About ‘Pressure’ To Keep His Body ‘Perfect’ on The Bachelorette
At one point, Tyler Cameron wanted to be a professional football player, but a shoulder injury changed his career path. While he holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Florida Atlantic University College of Business, he has a lucrative career as a model.
In an interview with Yahoo Life, Cameron reveals that he started “taking fitness more seriously” after instant fame from Reality TV and his modeling career. At the time, he preferred heavy weights, but that made him too bulky.
However, as time went on, he realized he wasn’t going to be “the skinny little model,” and he was okay with that. “I’m just gonna be who I am,” he told the outlet.
These revelations came with age and experience. During his time on The Bachelorette, he felt he had to fit into a certain image.
“There was pressure when I got on the show to be this perfect, you know, whatever.” – Tyler Cameron, Yahoo Life.
Now that he’s away from that pressure, he works out for himself, not anyone else. He explained, “I gotta put more cardio and things into my workouts now because I have heart issues in my family.”
Many former female Bachelor Nation alums have spoken about their body issues, but it’s very rare for a male to speak out.
