On The Bachelorette, Tyler Norris was clear that he only wanted to pursue Rachel Recchia. Now he reveals that he DM’ed Rachel before season 19 started.
On The Bachelorette season 19, contestant Tyler Norris made it clear that he only wants to pursue Rachel Recchia, and he now reveals that he had DM’d her while she was appearing on Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor. On a recent episode, Tyler had a one-on-one dinner with Rachel after a group date. During the group date, the men were asked to write love letters to Rachel. Tyler had coincidentally written a poem for her the night before which he wanted to share with her, so it worked out perfectly for him.
During the dinner, Rachel told Tyler that she was touched by how vulnerable he was during the group date. Tyler continued to open up to her about his past relationship in which he was hurt, but he said that the unconditional love that he felt was the best feeling in the world. The Bachelorette frontrunner wants to give love to the right person, and he is not scared of getting hurt again. Rachel told him that she saw so much of herself in him because they are both willing to love and be hurt because love is the ultimate thing. Tyler told Rachel that he would have done anything to meet her. He said, “I came here for you. You know that.” Rachel and Tyler kissed, and she gave him the rose.
On the Click Bait with Bachelor Nation podcast hosted by Joe Amabile, Natasha Parker, and Tia Booth, Tyler revealed that he had DM’d Rachel on Instagram when he watched her on The Bachelorette. He said that Clayton’s season was the only one that he watched in its entirety. Tyler shared that from the moment that Rachel stepped out of the limousine, he thought she was “gorgeous.” He admitted that after the second episode “was about two bottles of wine deep,” and he decided to DM her. Tyler said that he wrote, “Hey! If things don’t work out with Clayton, and you ever end up as the Bachelorette, sign me up, because I would love to pursue you.” Tyler said that a week later he received a call that he was nominated for The Bachelorette.
Tia asked Tyler if Rachel was the one who nominated him. He replied, “I wish! I don’t think so.” Tyler said that he did not think that Rachel saw the DM before The Bachelorette, but he did tell her about it when they had the one-on-one date. He said that Rachel told him that she would look back in her DMs to see if it was actually true. He also shared that he knew when he got to the show that he was “one hundred percent” there for Rachel, but he also thinks that Gabby is amazing.
Tyler and Rachel have had a wonderful connection so far. His attraction to her began from the first moment he saw her on The Bachelor, and he put himself out there by DM’ing her. He seems like the kind of man who is willing to do anything for the woman he loves. Perhaps Tyler is the one who will receive Rachel’s final rose.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 pm EST on ABC.
