Bachelor Nation’s Tyler Cameron has handed out his final rose, proposing to girlfriend Tate Madden after two years of dating.
“Better late than never they say,” Tyler, 33, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, August 15, sharing photos from his romantic proposal on Florida’s Little Palm Island beach.
Tyler and Tate, 32, who have been together since 2024, received a flurry of congratulations from his fellow Bachelor alumni.
“Congrats you two ❤️. Sending so much love,” Colton Underwood wrote in the comments section, while JoJo Fletcher added, “Ahh congrats!! ❤️❤️❤️ Love u guys.”
Justin Glaze, for his part, chimed in, “Alright alright alrightttttt 👏🏽👏🏽 congrats y’all!!.”
Tyler’s brother Ryan Cameron, meanwhile, jokingly replied, “He did it, people.”
Tyler rose to fame on Hannah Brown’s season 15 of The Bachelorette in 2019, ending the show as her runner-up. Years later, Tyler found love with Tate. (The contractor and Tate confirmed their relationship in early 2024.)
“Tyler and I actually met a couple times before he remembered meeting me. I thought Tyler and I were actually good friends,” Tate recalled on the “Trading Secrets” podcast in November 2024. “Turns out he didn’t know who I was.”
According to Tate, she first met Tyler through a mutual friend. She was hired to work for Tyler before their platonic bond eventually turned romantic.
“I think she is everything that I’ve ever wanted in somebody,” Tyler exclusively told Us in May 2025, hinting that Tate is The One. “She is also my best friend on top of that. I think that’s all a good recipe right there.”
At the time, Tyler acknowledged that he initially waited to publicly debut his relationship due to his reality TV past.
“She didn’t always understand what was going on when it was going on,” he explained at the time. “That was a big step for us. Now, being in the public eye, you basically add a third party to your relationship. They’re always going to scrutinize or say something. It’s learning how to navigate through that, and I think she’s done a great job at it — and so far, it’s been good.”
Despite their relationship heating up, Tyler was admittedly wary about potentially expanding his family with Tate.
“[Having kids is] a fear I have, and it has nothing to do with Tate,” he previously said on “Trading Secrets” in November 2024. “It’s just when I grew up, I had parents who busted their asses and worked their asses off for us, gave us everything they had. We lost everything in the [2008 stock] market crash. We went from having everyone together, living this dream life in this dream house, to losing it all.”
Rather, Tyler hopes to be in a “financially set place” before becoming a father.
“I think right now, just doubling down and just working as much as we can to get to that spot so then when we do hopefully have kids one day, God willing, that he can also be the dad that he wants to be,” Tate chimed in at the time. “Never miss a game, be the coach, do all the things. Which I think right now, doing what we’re doing will get us to the place where you can also have financial stability.”
