The video finally explains whether there was a romantic or physical connection between Tyler and the Season 15 The Bachelorette star when they spent three weeks together in March quarantining at Tyler's family's home in Jupiter, FL, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Tyler and Hannah's reunion after The Bachelorette came about when Tyler's mother Andrea Cameron passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. Tyler said he thought about how Andrea was "obsessed with Hannah," and then Hannah texted Tyler after hearing the sad news.
Tyler decided right then and there to "bury the hatchet" and talk to Hannah after "months" of no communication.
Hannah also "leaned on" Tyler after her brother suffered from a drug overdose, and so the former couple supported each other through "trauma" and became close "emotionally."
"We were still feeling each other out... but we still had a good time," Hannah noted, before Tyler added, "You were able to bring light to a very dark time. It was needed."
Hannah subsequently wanted to escape her own problems given her brother had just entered rehab and so she flew to Florida for Andrea's funeral.
Tyler called their weekend together "a refresher," and then he invited Hannah to spend a few days with him in quarantine. (Tyler claimed he had no idea the lockdown would last for so much longer).

"I wanted to see you again -- to be honest, I did," Hannah shared.
But Tyler explained, "My biggest fear was [for Hannah] to come over and see what is was, but I didn't want to do something because I was in a bad place or vulnerable."

"I was like, 'I'm not hooking up. I'm not doing nothing.' Because I don't want you to go away -- us do something and then you go away and I go away and it's like, 'Oh, I don't feel that,' and then we're upset again at each other."
Tyler acknowledged Hannah's second visit because "a circus" in the press, with a whirlwind of rumors and speculation the couple had reconciled and were dating again.
"They turned what we were doing into a pressure-cooker situation," Tyler explained.
"We were just under pressure the whole time and some of it is our fault because we kind of played into it. We were having fun with it."
The couple said their time together turned into creating and posting funny videos on social media and TikTok and there was "no privacy" in the house.
"We were really just trying to work on our friendship," Tyler noted.
"People think we were hooking up the whole time," Hannah said.

"Never kissed," Hannah revealed.
"Never kissed," Tyler confirmed with a laugh. "Well, you kept farting."
"No you did!" Hannah countered.

Tyler elaborated of the couple's situation, "I was in a hurt place. You were in a hurt place and we have a tough past. We've gone through a lot together and this [was] our first time really hanging out, and 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," Tyler said, adding that they had "mixed feelings" and "mixed emotions" about the past.
Hannah selected Jed Wyatt as the winner of her heart over Tyler on The Bachelorette last year at the Final Rose Ceremony, but the former Alabama beauty pageant queen broke up with Jed five weeks after they got engaged 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 ever came of it because Tyler appeared to set his sights on supermodel Gigi Hadid, whom he dated for two months, and moved to New York City to pursue modeling.
"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 video.
"And I'm like, 'What are we figuring out?' And I hated figuring it out, like what does that mean? The part that was really frustrating and hard for me is that at this point, COVID and this pandemic is real and I'm kind of stuck."

"So I'm at my ex's house with all his friends and so, I didn't know where I fit. I think I did a good job of trying to be okay with the situation that I was in, but for me, I was internally freaking out," Hannah confessed.
"There were lots of emotions, like, I wanted to talk about it, but he didn't want to talk about it."
The pair argued over whether they had a serious conversation about their relationship and Hannah admitted the conversation was getting a little "heated" for her.
"I'm pretty sure there were days when we barely talked to each other," Hannah said.
"There was. There were days when I was like, 'I have to be on the other side of the house the whole time,'" Tyler recalled.
Hannah explained there was a lot of miscommunication and it came down to the pair needing to go in separate directions because there was just too much to handle and unpack and the situation became "unhealthy."
Hannah and Tyler actually agreed they had become the worst versions of themselves by the end of their three weeks together.

"People think this is us dating and being together and it [was] everybody's dream come true, but we're like not talking to each other," Hannah said.
"And wanted to kill each other, yeah," Tyler interjected, adding that Hannah even moved out for a couple of days and stayed at a friend's house.
"The problem I have is when people put pressure on me and push me into things, I pull myself away... There was just so much pressure on what we were doing, which was the worst place for me to be in, especially at that time.

In late September, Hannah and Tyler were spotted having lunch together in Los Angeles.
"That's where we're at. I guess it's just trying to be cool being friends... We're going to still hang out," Hannah said.
"I think everything we've been through and all the stuff we've done, we care about each other and we're there for each other. I'm super stoked about where we're at right now," Tyler said.
Hannah confirmed "there's no pressure" and they're doing things on their own terms.
Tyler admitted to Us Weekly earlier this month, "We've struggled, you know, with our relationship and trying to figure out what it is."
"But we're in a great place right now with each other and it's great to be able to hang out, you know -- grab dinner, hang out -- and it's fun. Hannah's an amazing person and it's good to be in a better place than we've been."
After dating Gigi, Tyler apparently had flings with Kylie Jenner's best friend Anastasia Karanikolaou and swimsuit model Jilissa Ann Zoltko.
