While Brown and Cameron came face-to-face, the Bacheloretteboldly asked him on a date— and he obliged!
“I want somebody to be bold and I’m bold and I make bold moves so you’re an incredible guy and I’m a single girl,” Brown said with a huge grin. “So … I don’t know. I thought maybe we could go for a drink and just hang out?”
“Just tell me when,” Cameron responded. “I’m there.”
“Tyler will always have a place in my heart no matter what our relationship looks like. The feelings I developed for him were real and they don’t shut off instantly. And it’s hard to say [yet] what the future holds with him, or anyone else,” said Brown.
Cameron added of Brown, “I cherish Hannah and value her and our friendship so much, but I don’t think it’s healthy for us to jump into anything right away. I think we need to be friends and see where life takes us. Whatever happens, happens.”
