One of our favorite new romances just got a whole lot more interesting!
Budding couple Gigi Hadid and Tyler Cameron continue to keep their love alive as they were spotted on a casual dinner date with Serena Williams and friends at La Esquina in New York City on Tuesday night.
Yup — a supermodel, reality TV star, and 23-time Grand Slam champion are casually rubbing shoulders now and we have so many thoughts!!!

A source told E! News the group met at the Mexican eatery around 9 P.M. for a “laid back” meal, noting “everyone seemed comfortable together.”
Danish tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki and Gigi’s pals, Cully Smoller and Kendall Visser, were also in attendance at dinner.
According to the insider, there was nothing but good vibes at the table all night long. The source said:
“They had a fun dinner. There were there for about an hour. Everyone was in great spirits, laughing together and enjoying their dinner. It was very casual with everyone just hanging out and chatting.”
The one-time NFL athlete rocked gray shorts and a red tee while Hadid sported boyfriend jeans and a white tank for the evening meal. Williams wore a black t-shirt dress and sneakers, so it sounds like everyone kept it pretty casual!
Later, when the group wrapped up, they all walked out together before going their separate ways. Dying for a visual? You can ch-ch-check out pics of the crew exiting the restaurant here.
So, why were these three out together in the first place?
We know that the supermodel couple has been getting extremely close lately — from multiple public city dates and a romantic private getaway in upstate New York together to apartment hunting in the Big Apple — the connection between these two has really grown stronger!
But, how does Serena fit into this equation?
Well, it turns out Gigi and Serena are actually pretty good friends and have been buddies for a while now!
In fact, the ladies are so close that Williams made her first red carpet appearance after giving birth to daughter Alexis Ohanian to present Hadid with her Glamour Woman Of The Year award back in 2017.
Gushing over their special bond while presenting the prestigious award, Serena said:
“Gigi, you are one of the few people on this planet I would leave my baby for — for one night — but for you, it shows how much you mean to me. I’ve known Gigi Hadid since she was a kid. She’s always been a woman with goals. Not only beautiful on the outside but totally stunning most importantly on the inside.”
Awww!
Considering the fact that the gorgeous gal’s other close friends were there too, perhaps we can assume Gigi was looking for her circle’s stamp of approval on Tyler? It’s totally plausible! And, to be honest, we hope the guy aced it! His glow-up since being named as runner-up on The Bachelorette has been insane.
A different source previously told E! “the connection is there for sure” between the sexy couple. Specifically, in regards to Gigi, they added:
“She looks really happy and calm with Tyler around. It’s like she is herself around him, no pretense of act.”
A source from Cameron’s crew echoed the (above) sentiment to the outlet, adding:
“Tyler likes Gigi and definitely wants to keep seeing her. He wasn’t sure if it would turn into something but they have are having a lot of fun and don’t want it to end, that’s for sure.”
We’re so curious to see what’s next for these two!
As we reported, Tyler has not had any contact with Bachelorette Hannah Brown since their night together in Los Angeles after the ABC dating reality show ended.
