Rodney Mathews, Tyler Norris & More Bachelor Nation Stars Reflect Back on 2022
Looking back!
The end of the year is always a great time to reflect back on all that you accomplished, and as we approach New Year’s Eve, many of your favorite Bachelor Nation stars are doing just that.
If you’re looking for some year-end journaling inspo, look no further than Rodney Mathews, Tyler Norris, and more!
Rodney took to Instagram to share a series of photos from this past year and wrote a reflective caption about 2022.
The Bachelor Nation star said, “I never thought I would be 30 and single, but looking back on this year I’m glad that I took the time to focus on myself, my mental health, and celebrate my growth along the way. Join me in celebrating YOU with @visiblemobile!”
Rodney shared his year in review in four bullet points. He wrote, “Quick year in review: 1. This was from a year ago. I didn’t know how yet, but I knew my life was going to change. I knew opportunities were coming my way and all I wanted to do was to live and grow throughout the process. 2. A life long dream came true for me being on my favorite game show. I never envisioned it happening like this but I’m so grateful that it did.”

He went on, saying, “3. I was able to guest star on tour and finally travel across the east coast meeting amazing people and showcasing who I am, what I’m capable of and making an audience laugh while doing it. 4. Lastly, this is one year later. I stand confident knowing who I am, what I want, and what I bring to the table. Needless to say, I remain humble and hopeful for the new year. I’m so thankful for all the lessons I’ve learned along the way and the growing I still have left to do.”
Many of Rodney’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars flooded the comments of his post with love and support.
Michael Allio wrote, “Love ya man! Here’s to another amazing year!”
Ivan Hall said that Rodney is “30 and thriving!”
And Jason Tartick added that Rodney is “Killing it!”

Tyler Norris also got sentimental looking back at 2022 and shared photos from this year.
Alongside the pics, he wrote, “2022 What a YEAR! I learned to live independently! And for that, I’m celebrating ME!”
Tyler went on, saying, “So when I walk into that family holiday party and everyone’s like ‘no girlfriend again this year’ I’m going to be like, ‘let me live my independent life!!’ Some highlights from this year: I gave love a shot. That clearly didn’t work out, so I joined the single BOOTH. Decided to enjoy my friends and LIFE! Traveled the world…mostly shirtless. Earned a couple scars physically and mentally.”
We know that both Tyler and Rodney are just getting started and can’t wait to see all that they do in 2023!
