Never has America looked forward to two people having drinks more than The Bachelorette‘s newly reconciled (well, kinda) Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron, but here we are. This season’s wildly dramatic finale ended with the former couple agreeing to a date to see where things go.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if Tyler had said no: After all, the runner-up was crushed when Hannah broke up with him right as he was about to propose. But after her engagement to Jed Wyatt fell apart, Hannah admitted she still has feelings for Tyler.
Whether or not that will lead to a relationship is still to be determined—and rightfully so—but Tyler’s now had at least 12 hours to let Hannah’s revelation sink in. So where do things stand? When are those drinks happening? And has he laid into talked to Jed? Here, Tyler opens up about all that and more.
Glamour: Let’s jump right into everything that happened on the finale. How angry are you with Jed now that you know he wasn’t honest with Hannah?
Tyler Cameron: Yeah, I’m just very disappointed in him, in the whole situation. My heart aches for Hannah because when it was down to me, Peter, and Jed, I felt like she was in great hands. As soon as it was just me and Jed, I thought, Okay, if it’s not me, Jed’s going to be the one that takes care of her.
I feel like his feelings for her were genuine, but I was just disappointed to see all this coming out. I don’t think he handled things the right way, and his initial intentions for the show weren’t the right intentions. I was just disappointed overall.
Did you ever have concerns about him during the show, or did you not know about those red flags?
No, not at all. I had no idea about any of his past, so this was all news to me. It was news to all of us. We were pretty blindsided by it, just like you guys were.
Have you talked to him since? If not, what would you want to say to him now?
No, not much. I’d just tell him that I’m disappointed, and I hope he can start taking steps in the right direction. This can be a learning lesson for him.
Many of us still don’t quite understand why Hannah chose Jed in the first place. Did you ever get a clear explanation or understanding from her about why it wasn’t you in the end?
