The aftermath of Tuesday night’s dramaticBachelorettefinale continues!
Hannah Brown‘s ex-fiancéJed Wyattappeared onGood Morning Americaon Thursday to field questions about why he lied to the Alabama beauty — and how he felt about her asking runner-upTyler Cameronon a date.
“I was really overwhelmed with how much I actually did fall in love with her, and I wasfearful to lose her,” Wyatt toldGMA‘sMichael Strahan. “I wasacting really more out of fearthan my actual love for her, and you know, that’s my mistake, but that’s kind of what happened.”
Strahan, 47, dove right into the drama, asking Wyatt whether he knew thefateful article— in which his ex Haley Stevens revealed to PEOPLE that they werestill in a relationshipwhen he left to film the show — was coming.
“We had discussed that situation prior to the article, and then we discussed it, you know, the day actually before the article came out,” the musician said. “We had touched a lot of bases on it, but still, you know, I was fearful and held out on some of the details that in turns caused us to end.”
While Wyatt was apologetic during theAfter the Final Rosespecial on Tuesday, he told Strahan that he wanted to be there to help provide Brown with “closure.”
“It would have been easy to turn away and not even show up toAfter the Final Rose, and I just wanted to be there for her so that she could have her closure,” he said.

He said he also wanted to be there to “let everyone know that I am sorry.”
Wyatt added that while “it still hurts,” he has found his own closure knowing that Brown has moved on.
Speaking of Brown moving on — the pageant queenasked Cameron out for drinksduring theAfter the Final Rosespecial, just after hashing it out with Wyatt.
TheTennessee croonersaid that “had a feeling something was up” between the two.
“I couldn’t really put a finger on it when I was there that day. I know there was a lot of nerves and a lot of tension, but you know, her happiness is my best interest,” Wyatt said. “I want her to be happy, and Tyler’s one of my friends, he’s a great guy, and, you know, if that’s what it’s supposed to be, then I support that.”
