Hannah Brown & Tyler Cameron Reveal If They Hooked Up During Quarantine

You may remember that Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron, exes who broke up during the finale of her season of The Bachelorette, actually quarantined together for several weeks at the beginning of lockdowns. Fans thought they were possibly dating during that time, but they’re now explaining everything.

“We were kind of leaning on each other. We were both going through things, and were kind of like each other’s support system all of a sudden. You of course have your family there, but it’s always nice to have someone to lean on as well,” Tyler said, referring to his mother’s sudden death and her brother’s overdose.

“I wanted to get away from my own trauma so I would say that I traded Tyler’s trauma for mine. I also wanted to be there for you,” Hannah added.

So they began their lockdown together, and Tyler added, “I made a rule. I’m not hooking up, I’m not doing nothing because I don’t want you to go away, and I go away and then we’re like ‘Oh I don’t feel that’ and we’re upset again at each other. We got upset with each other anyways.”

They were subject to a lot of fan frenzy though, and it got to them. “We were under pressure the whole time. People think we were hooking up the whole time… Never kissed,” she said, adding that they did sleep in the same bed.

Tyler then said, “I was in a hurt place, you were in a hurt place, we have a tough past. We’ve gone through a lot together and this was our first time really hanging out. I just wanted to work on it being a friendship. So if we stepped away and got away from each other and we wanted more, we could always go get more.”

She ended up leaving abruptly, hitching a ride with a friend from home. “By that time I was so—like I wasn’t very nice that day. You were definitely not nice that day,” Hannah said.

And where are they right now? She said they are “trying to be cool being friends.”
