It’s always you. To see the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the brilliant, the broken, the ups, the downs, the missteps, the victories, the highs, the lows, the worst, the best, and all the little things that make you...YOU. To see all of this in each other and find ways to keep hanging on for dear life. To me this is love. 3 years of this crazy roller coaster ride called life together. I love you.

As of Francesca talking about their initial meeting, she added more, saying,
“He said the moment I walked in the door; he knew I would be his girlfriend.”
Shields considers his ex-girlfriend as an inspiration as he has done many shoots, from crime scenes to setting fire to £10,000 of Louis Vuitton merchandise. The couple was involved in some exhilarating projects in their works with his photographic exhibition at Ace Gallery and her new reality show. The fact that her show aired on the same day the photo exhibition opened.
The beautiful relationship was going to the gallery opening, but before going there, Tyler wanted one last shot, so Francesca was forced to stand on the balustrade of a bridge for the last shot. Francesca was so nervous and terrified to do the shot. She broke into tears after the shot saying, “You don’t value my life.”
Realizing that she had to set boundaries, the pair made up. Tyler did not say what she needed to hear, but he humorously told her:” The pictures look amazing” and headed arm in arm to the gallery opening. Later he apologized to her and said:” I’m sorry that you got scared on the bridge, baby.” After, that they were separated.
Before dating Francesca, Tyler was in a relationship with an American actress, songwriter, and singer, Candice Rene King who was famous for her role as Caroline Forbes in The CW supernatural drama series. The relationship only lasted for 1 year (2009-2010)
