Sending love.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Tyler Cameron as he searched for love on Season 15 of “The Bachelorette.”
Since his time on the show, Tyler found love off-screen with his fiancée Tate Madden and has been keeping followers updated with his life online.
For the past few weeks, Tyler has been competing on “Dancing with the Stars” alongside his pro dance partner, Sharna Burgess.
The two have been progressing each week as they show off their impressive dance moves in the ballroom.
This week, while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Tyler talked about honoring his late mother, Andrea Cameron, through his time on the show.
As fans may or may not know, Andrea died in February 2020, two days after being admitted to the hospital for a brain aneurysm. Since then, Tyler has been open about his grieving process online.
The Bachelor Nation star shared that his mom always wanted him to go on “DWTS,” so while chatting with the outlet, he revealed his plans to honor her with one of their dances.
He said, “I definitely want to do something in honor of my mom. She would have loved this show. My mom passed away not even a year after I went on ‘The Bachelorette,’ and I feel like she was finally getting to live her best life. It was a sudden loss, and it was very hard. We still grieve to this day.”
Tyler continued, “I think if I can get Dedication Night, it will be one of the greatest gifts I can ever give my mother and a way to honor her. Sharna is an incredible storyteller, and when she tells me how she wants to tell this story, I get the shivers. In week two, she told me how she wanted to do it, and I almost started tearing up. To me, that’s like my Super Bowl, getting to that night.”
He also gave advice and an important reminder while discussing his grief journey on the “Good Grief” podcast.
He said, “Go reread your texts with your loved ones. Your mother, your dad. Look at it and ask yourself, ‘Am I responding to them and speaking to them the way that I would be proud of or grateful for if they were to be gone tomorrow?’”
Our hearts continue to go out to Tyler and all of Andrea’s loved ones as they remember her and honor her legacy.
