Tyler Cameron is reflecting on his choice to post screenshots of a text fight with his girlfriend, Tate Madden, on social media.
“I got crushed for that,” Cameron, 31, told Page Six on Friday, December 6, at the Celsius Padel Classic held at Wayne Boich’s padel club in Miami, Florida. While the Bachelorette alum said he “thought it was funny” to share the texts with his followers, girlfriend Madden was not happy about the post.
“So I paid the price for it, learned my lesson,” Cameron told the outlet. “Some jokes should be kept inside.”
Last month, Cameron had shared a screenshot of a text conversation between the couple via Instagram, which showed Madden scolding her boyfriend after he had gotten ice cream without her. He had written in the caption, “Don’t go on a sweet treat run without your girlfriend … lesson learned.”
In the text chain, he asked Madden, “Now you’re mad again?” to which she replied, “I just don’t understand why anything fun you do you don’t want to do with me. We’ll go to riverside. Have a fun night.” He answered, “We’re getting ice cream, are you kidding me? This is a fun moment?”
Cameron told Page Six on Friday that he made it up to Madden in “lots of ways,” including, “Lots of ice cream trips.”
Cameron confirmed his relationship with Madden during an Amazon Live in September, adding that the pair live together in Florida after quietly dating for year before going public. The couple spoke about their plans for the future during a November 2024 appearance on the “Trading Secrets” podcast.
“It’s a fear I have, and it has nothing to do with Tate,” Cameron told host Jason Tartick on the November 25 episode. “It’s just when I grew up, I had parents who busted their asses and worked their asses off for us, gave us everything they had. We lost everything in the [2008] market crash.”
He continued, “So it’s like me just taking that leap of faith is that I want to be in a financially set place, that if I have kids, I never have to have that fear, that worry, because I just know what that did. At the end of the day, my parents did an amazing job and still overcame all that, but I never want to have anyone go through what we went through.”
Madden, for her part, noted that Cameron was trying to “build something that has longevity” as their relationship continues.
“I think right now, just doubling down and just working as much as we can to get to that spot so then when we do hopefully have kids one day, God willing, that he can also be the dad that he wants to be,” she said at the time. “Never miss a game, be the coach, do all the things. Which I think right now, doing what we’re doing will get us to the place where you can also have financial stability.”
