"We both talked through what's going on in the book and there's nothing for her to be worried about or concerned [about]," Tyler told Us Weekly in a video interview.
"I have no bad things to say about her, so it's all good. It's all good there. She taught me a lot."
He added, "I haven't seen her in a while but we're still friends."
Although fans were shipping a Tyler and Hannah reconciliation pretty hard last year, they both moved on from their relationship on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season in 2019.
Tyler is currently dating model Camila Kendra and Hannah is in a serious relationship with model Adam Woolard.
Tyler explained of his book, "I'm excited to share a lot with everybody -- my past stories, you know, my relationship stories and the things I've learned from my relationships, and my advice, and things to do and things not to do."
Tyler added that he wrote about "red flags" in relationships and "mantras to live by."
"I've been through some dark times and was in some pretty deep holes, and [I reveal] how I got myself out of them. Hopefully people can relate... and it has to do with respecting women," Tyler said.

Tyler finished Hannah's The Bachelorette season as the runner-up behind Jed Wyatt at the Final Rose Ceremony, but Hannah broke off her engagement to Jed five weeks after his marriage proposal because he had lied about having a girlfriend back home in Nashville during filming.

On The Bachelorette's live reunion special in late July 2019, Hannah asked Tyler out on a date, which resulted in the pair spending one night together in Los Angeles. However, nothing but a friendship ever came of it.
"I was being praised for honestly what I think is the bare minimum, you know?" Tyler recalled to Us of his time on the show, which included not having sex with Hannah in the Fantasy Suite.
"There's articles written about me, 'Tyler Cameron Gives Masterclass on Consent' and [calling me a] feminist icon’ and all this stuff. I'm like, all I did was respect a woman."
His experience on The Bachelorette was therefore his motivation for writing the book.
"Like no is no, you know? And like, if she wants to go do something, she should go and do it. And so, for me, when I saw all the praise, it was cool, it was great at first," Tyler explained.
"But then I realized, like, there's something wrong with our culture right now if this is what is being praised. This should be the norm. That's kind of what really motivated me to write this book and kind of the core of this book."

But Tyler admitted he and Hannah "struggled" to figure out their relationship for quite some time, especially when they quarantined with each other in Florida for three weeks in March 2020.
Hannah returned home to her family in Alabama on April 1, 2020 and expressed at the time how she and Tyler only had a platonic relationship.
In an early October YouTube video Hannah and Tyler created together, the pair confirmed they never hooked up -- or even kissed -- while in quarantine.
However, Hannah confessed she and Tyler had been "feeling each other out" at the time and the lack of clarity she had about their relationship was bothersome.
"I didn't want to do something because I was in a bad place or vulnerable," Tyler said, adding that he had "mixed feelings" about pursuing a romance with Hannah again after getting dumped on The Bachelorette.
"I just wanted to work on it being a friendship. If we stepped away from each other and wanted more, we could always go and get more."

But Hannah apparently felt led on at times and the pair had major disagreements.
"I think it was really hard for me and him just being like, 'Let's just chill.' He'd always say, '[Let's] figure it out,'" Hannah said in the October video.
"And I'm like, 'What are we figuring out?' And I hated figuring it out... I'm pretty sure there were days when we barely talked to each other."
Although their relationship was "unhealthy" at the time, they continued to talk things out and so their friendship gradually improved to the "cool" dynamic they have as friends today.
"We're going to still hang out," Hannah noted, adding that the former couple no longer felt "pressure" to be together or define their relationship.

And Tyler was apparently happy for Hannah when she became romantically involved with Adam.
"Good-looking guy," Tyler told Entertainment Tonight of Adam in February 2021.
"We want each other to be the best person we can be. If that's being happy with other people then that's what we want."
