Right now, Tyson Beckford is boldly looking for love on TV, as one of the three highly eligible bachelors on Bravo’s Kings Court — but over the years, he’s had quite a few romantic encounters with celebrities.
While some of his supposed celebrity hookups have been nothing but rumors, he’s also spent time with a few very famous women — including a hot weekend with Kim Kardashian.
“Yeah, it was three days,” he told Us Weekly as part of our red hot cover story with the star. “It was Paris Hilton who introduced us. She was like, ‘I got this friend. She got a big ol’ booty!’ [Kim] was just breaking up with Ray J at the time. She seems to not remember it, but OK. I guess I am forgettable?” (Hmm, we’re not so sure about that!)
Foxy Brown and Carmen Electra are two other big names who the gorgeous model has been linked to over the years — but in both cases, it was a red herring: he was friends with their boyfriends! “ [Foxy] was always a friend, but she had a boyfriend,” he revealed. “Baby Cham, a big reggae artist who was a friend of mine, so that [rumor] was kind of weird.” And as for Electra? “She actually was dating my friend Dennis Rodman, so no, me and Carmen were always friends,” he clarified.
One famous face Beckford did actually hook up with though, albeit briefly? Summer House star and fellow model Lexi Wood. “I dated Lexi when she first came to New York,” he told Us. “She was trying to get into the model thing. We hung out, she’s good. People wouldn’t say it was dating, but we definitely hung out.”
Although Beckford isn’t a fan of dating apps (and he’s heard there are tons of guys pretending to be him out there!) he said he would also swipe right on Wood’s former costar Paige DeSorbo. “She’s got great fashion sense,” he said.
There are a few other reality TV faces who he thinks are pretty hot, too. The star said he would also swipe right on actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Garcelle Beauvois, saying, “She is a good friend, and when we swipe right, it’s not necessarily when we want to date. We just like them!”
And being in the fashion industry, Beckford is also attracted to women with great style, saying that he would also swipe right on Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant. “I love the way these ladies put themselves together, because the first thing you see is how someone’s dressed,” he said. “Being a man of fashion, she’s got great style.”
While Beckford admitted he has never watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, he does think Taylor Frankie Paul is hot. “She’s pretty,” he said. “I would swipe right.” And he’s also attracted to The Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran. “I like her energy and she’s got great style,” he said.
In fact, there’s only one reality TV star who Beckford confessed that he would turn down when asked by Us: Khloé Kardashian! “I’m going to have to swipe left, I’m sorry!” he said. “There’s too much turmoil over there. Plus her sister would be like, ‘Whatcha doing with my sister?’”
One thing is for sure, Beckford is eager to settle down with a long-term partner, admitting: “I would love to get married … I want to push baby strollers and change diapers!”
