Tyson Beckford Flirts with Oscar Winner on Live TV

Sunday night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live” turned up the heat when Tyson Beckford made a bold admission that caught everyone off guard. The 54-year-old model didn’t hesitate when host Andy Cohen asked whether he would date someone with a foot fetish during the show’s signature game segment.

“Oh, hell yeah!” Beckford declared enthusiastically. He then surprised viewers by adding, “I’ve got a foot fetish.”

The revelation led to an immediate flirtation with fellow guest Octavia Spencer. Beckford confessed he had “already checked out [her] shoes” and admired the “good shade” of polish on her toes. The Oscar-winning actress initially protested with “Don’t look at my feet,” but the playful banter continued throughout the segment.

Beckford’s daring approach didn’t stop there. He asked Spencer directly, “Can I touch them? Let me touch them,” initiating one of the most memorable moments in recent “WWHL” history. When Cohen followed up by asking whether Beckford liked Spencer’s feet, the model confirmed enthusiastically that he did.

The “WWHL” segment generated significant buzz across social media platforms. Fans praised both Beckford’s honesty and Spencer’s good-natured response to his advances. Spencer even told Beckford, “The door is always open” as they all laughed together, creating what Cohen joked would make Spencer “glad [she] came” to the show.

The interaction escalated when Spencer actually allowed Beckford to touch her feet before playfully swatting his hand away. The Emmy-nominated actress seemed to enjoy the attention. Fans noted on Instagram that she was “just giggling” throughout the entire exchange.

Dating Show Star Opens Up About Romance

The candid television moment comes as Beckford searches for love on Bravo’s new reality series “Kings Court.” On the new series, he competes alongside former NBA all-star Carlos Boozer and WWE legend Thaddeus “Titus O’Neil” Bullard for the attention of 21 eligible women.

During the premiere episode of the dating competition, Beckford revealed some of the challenges he’s faced in previous relationships. “I have trust issues. I’ve been cheated on,” he shared. “I can give you a couple scenarios. Once, I was dating this girl and I went out of town for a couple weeks, and we were sharing a dog so I came back. She was seeing some other guy, and the guy was walking my dog, and then it ended up in Page Six.”

The supermodel explained how his celebrity status has complicated his dating life. “I don’t care what anyone says, dating a celebrity is hard,” Beckford said, as reported by Bravotv.com. “Being around beautiful women is almost normal in my world. But women have a hard time trusting me.”

At 54, Beckford has reached a turning point in his personal life. “You finally sit down and you realize, ‘I’m 53 and I’m alone,'” he reflected during the show. “It’s time for Tyson to put his big boy pants on and get his groove back, because if Stella can do it, I can do it too.”

Beckford’s Past Relationships

Beckford’s relationship history includes connections with model Shanina Shaik, actress Paige Butcher, and stylist April Roomet, with whom he shares son Jordan. The model has been open about his desire to find a serious partner who can travel with him for work commitments.

“I need a bestie that loves to fly,” Beckford told People magazine earlier this year. He explained that he wants “a woman that works remotely from wherever we are” because of his international modeling career.

The supermodel has also expressed his desire to expand his family, telling Swooon that he’s always wanted more children. “I love kids,” he said. “I think kids are amazing. I have one, but I chose not to have multiple ones because I wanted them all from the same woman.”

As “Kings Court” continues airing Sunday nights on Bravo, viewers can expect more revealing moments from Beckford as he navigates the competitive dating landscape alongside his co-stars.
