“Going Home with Tyler Cameron” Is About So Much More Than Flipping Houses

Reality television has a way of making characters out of real people, and Tyler Cameron is no exception. He won America’s heart (and almost Hannah Brown’s) as a contestant on The Bachelorette in 2019, and he hasn’t lost it in the years since. But that’s only part of his story. 

It's been a few years since he found Bachelor Nation fame, and Cameron is here to remind everyone that he had a life before his stint on the show—by reconnecting to it on his own show, on his terms.

“I wasn’t sure [how to answer], ‘What do you want to do to after the Bachelorette?’” Cameron tells Better Homes & Gardens. “I was like, ‘What if I could blend one of my passions with reality television?’ I’ve always loved home renovation shows. And to put this all together into one show about me coming back home to Jupiter, to a place I love with the people I love—I think it makes for a great show.”

That show, aptly named Going Home with Tyler Cameron, finds Cameron “going home” in more ways than one: His decision to move from New York City to his South Florida hometown came after the sudden loss of his mother. Surrounded by loved ones in a familiar place, he also found it was the right time to bring his long-time dream of bringing a construction business, Image One, to life. 

Growing up watching the HGTV greats like Chip and Joanna Gaines (who he calls “the mark of excellence in that space”), Good Bones, and Renovation Island, to name a few, Cameron has always been a fan of the home reno genre. If not for The Bachelorette, that’s what he would’ve spent the last few years doing—in fact, Cameron was in the middle of building his first home when he got called to join the cast. 

“I was like, ‘Pops, you can take the houses over, I’m good,’” he says,
