The aspiring model spoke with Access at the 2019 People's Choice Awards on Sunday for which he was nominated The Competition Contestant of 2019. (Tyler ultimately lost the trophy to Hannah).
"Never would have expected this a year ago, but here I am [at the awards], and I'm very thankful to be here," Tyler told Access.
Tyler said it's been an "incredible" ride going from The Bachelorette to where he's at in life now as an aspiring model.
"I'm very fortunate. I'm so grateful for my experience on this show and everything that's happened afterwards," Tyler shared.
"You get to share so many amazing experiences with the people I love. I got my mom here today. So that's my date here tonight, and I'm just super grateful to be here."
Hannah chatted with Tyler briefly before the People's Choice Awards began, and she told Us Weekly it was "really sweet" seeing that her ex brought his mother to the awards ceremony as his date.
Although Tyler is single now -- like he was before his reality TV journey began, he expressed to Access how his everyday life has "changed drastically" since competing for Hannah's heart.

"I was laughing with my uncle the other day because I was always broken down on the side of the road on my way to construction and doing work, and now I'm living in New York and bouncing to L.A. and I've got so many cool things that are on the horizon," Tyler explained.
"So I'm very thankful and very blessed and very excited, honestly."

When asked whether he'd ever be The Bachelor star, Tyler replied, "Oh, I have no idea," with a laugh.
"But they have a great guy for it right now," Tyler noted, referring to The Bachelor's upcoming Season 24 star, Peter Weber.
"Peter's incredible. I'm a huge Peter fan. So, I'm excited to watch his show. I'm sure he'll pick an amazing girl and he'll be very happy."
Tyler and Hannah were both single at the time they appeared on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose for the show's fifteenth season, so Hannah asked Tyler -- who seemed genuinely in love with Hannah on the show -- out for a drink in late July.
Tyler and Hannah spent the night together on August 1 in Los Angeles, but he seemingly moved on days later to pursue a romance with Gigi.

Tyler and Gigi, however, called it quits on their summer fling in October after nearly two months of dating.
"Tyler still thinks of Gigi as a friend," a source recently told Us. "They were really close, and he still likes and respects her, even though the romantic portion of their relationship is over."

After getting dumped by Colton on The Bachelor's 23rd season, Hannah got engaged to Nashville-based country singer Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, only to dump him five weeks later because Jed had lied to her about his dating history.
Jed initially told Hannah that his romance with ex Haley Stevens ended one week before taping commenced, but Haley told People in June that Jed left Nashville to film the show in March still dating her.
In addition, Haley alleged in her interview that Jed had told her he was only going on the show to promote his music and they'd resume their relationship once he returned home.
