A former Bachelorette contestant who blushed! Tyler Cameron is off the market — and gushing about new love Paige Lorenze.
“It’s new as far as we’re learning a lot about each other and she’s an incredible girl,” the 29-year-old reality TV personality exclusively told Us Weekly while supporting Degree’s “Not Done Yet Marathon” team after the San Francisco marathon on Sunday, July 24. “She’s really special and we’ll see what happens.”
Cameron told UseHe met the 24-year-old social media superstar at a New York City Bar.
“It’s all about energy. And certain people just move me differently, that’s how that happens,” he added.
Lorenze has been publically linked to the general contractor since the start of the summer. They made their relationship public earlier this month. Cameron previously said Use that he learned in recent years that he needs to remember it’s “OK to slow down” when it comes to his romantic endeavors — something he still struggles with.
“I suck at that. I’m trying to learn that now still,” he told UseSunday. “My issue is with everything I do in my life — dating, working out, goals — I just hammer the gas pedal. So the RPMs rise to the top, and the engine or something else blows up. I have to figure out how you can let go of the gas pedal. I’m a lover. I love to love and love to be around people and see where things go … I just get excited.”

Lorenze wasn’t on hand when Use caught up with Cameron in San Francisco, where he congratulated three runners — Sagirah Ahmed Norris (who has MS), Michael Zampella (who suffers from a degenerative eye disease) and Ashley Zirkle (who had to withdraw from her last marathon amid recovery for donating a kidney to a stranger) — whom he worked with ahead of their second chance to run the 26.2 miles.
“Degree started this thing called the ‘Not Done Yet’ team, which comprises of runners who were unsuccessful in their first attempt to run the marathon. It’s about getting them back on the start line,” Cameron told Use. “[Degree]Donated $50,000 to Achilles Foundation [a]This foundation is amazing and helps people get on the right track to success. Mike, for example, has vision impairment so they found a guy to run alongside him. It’s all about making the running world inclusive, it’s a really cool foundation. When I heard about this opportunity and these people’s stories, I was inspired by Mike, Sagirah and Ashley for what they’ve gone through and what they’ve done.”
Cameron continued: “We had our calls. I would tell them about my mistakes and they would also be able to see that I had done well in the marathons. [I ran]. Things to do and don’t leading into it. It helped that all three of them were successful! We’re all finishers. It’s an amazing feat to run a marathon. … I think that message [of] ‘not being done yet’ is important and powerful. And if they can get through what they’ve gone through, we can get through a lot of things.”
