Rachel was nervous to reunite with Tyler Norris at ‘The Bachelorette’ Men Tell All

Rachel’s breakup with Tyler Norris was one of the most difficult and emotional goodbyes of her season of The Bachelorette. She sat down for an interview with former Bachelorettes Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young to discuss the Men Tell All and her feelings about reuniting with Tyler.

“I think the person tonight that I was the most nervous to see and excited was Tyler,” Rachel said. “I had just watched our breakup, and it was hard to live, but it’s harder to watch back, and you’re in that moment and reliving it. He’s just such an incredible guy.”

As for Tyler, he isn’t holding onto any hard feelings toward Rachel. He posted a heartfelt Instagram post, addressing Rachel in part of the captain. “I respect the way things ended because you didn’t string me along,” he wrote. “You knew meeting my family was a big step to me, and you never put me in that position for it to get deeper, and I appreciate you for that. You deserve all the love in the world, and I know you’ll find it.”

Tyler has since moved on from Rachel

While Tyler’s breakup with Rachel was difficult, The Bachelorette contestant has since moved on. “When it ended — and knowing at the end of the day there’s all these other amazing guys — made me realize that ok, I see what she’s going to have at the end of the day, and I want that. And I’m ok with it not being me with Rachel, and there’s going to be somebody for me,” Tyler told ExtraTV.

“So understanding that and saying to yourself, ‘Ok, if you want that, go find it as long as you know that you’re over what you had before,'” he continued. “And I’m over it, you know. I’ve moved on. My heart is going to be for somebody else someday, and I’m ready to jump into something.”
