Floridian "Bachelorette" alum and television personality Tyler Cameron had a particularly emotional time Oct. 20 on 'Dancing with the Stars' Dedication Night.
Cameron, his partner Sharna Burgess, and fiancée Tate Madden danced a contemporary together to Ed Sheeran's "Supermarket Flowers" in honor of all moms, especially Cameron's, who died in 2020.
During the dance, Cameron revealed Madden's pregnancy. Afterward, the couple had a live gender reveal on the broadcast, with exploding pink confetti announcing that they are expecting a baby girl.

Who is Tyler Cameron?
Reality show fans, "Bachelor" franchise fans and followers of
recent pop culture were introduced to the Florida native in season 15 of "The Bachelorette," as one of Hannah Brown's potential suitors. At the time of filming, he was 26 years old and listed his occupation as a "general contractor."
Cameron was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, just 30 minutes outside of West Palm Beach. He graduated from Jupiter Community High School and attended Wake Forest University. He also is a Florida Atlantic University alum.
He is still a general contractor in Jupiter, but he's since become a TV personality, the owner of his own construction company, a philanthropist and the co-owner of a Delray Beach location of one of his favorite restaurants. In July 2025, Cameron joined celebrity realtor and "Owning Manhattan" star Ryan Serhant's Jupiter office.
What is Tyler Cameron's connection to Jacksonville, Florida?
“Going Home with Tyler Cameron” which premiered April 2024 on Amazon Prime, follows the reality TV star as he follows his dream of starting his own construction and home renovation company.
Although the show doesn’t take place in Duval County, Cameron's worked on construction projects here before and plans to again.
“I never really gave Jacksonville much credit, until I came to Jacksonville…” Tyler said in a video posted on his YouTube channel in 2022. “It’s so beautiful, it’s like a hidden gem.”
The video highlights many well-known areas of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Beaches, with slow-motion shots of Tyler walking around the Atlantic Beach Town Center, passing local favorites like Ragtime and Flying Iguana.
He even shouted out Neptune Beach’s beloved Pete’s Bar at the end of a 2024 interview with the USA TODAY NETWORK Florida.
Cameron also stopped by in January to surprise The ROAR, aka the Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders, ahead of the Jaguars' face off against the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs.
