Career

Cameron began his career as a model while a college student, after having been discovered through Instagram. [10] He ultimately went on to sign modeling contracts with Soul Artist Management in New York City and Next Management Miami. [11] [12]

In 2019, Cameron was cast in season fifteen of The Bachelorette , starring former Miss Alabama USA Hannah Brown. Filming took place throughout the spring of 2019.

[14] Cameron went on to place as the runner-up, being eliminated by Brown during the finale episode, aired on July 30, 2019, and filmed in Crete. During the reunion aired the same night, Brown revealed that she had broken up with winner Jed Wyatt after it arose that he was in a relationship with another woman just prior to and during filming. Brown then asked Cameron on a date, to which he accepted, although they ultimately did not end up resuming their relationship.
