A BASEBALL FAN
In his childhood, Tyler was soon attracted by baseball, he began to play when he was seven, then played for Arizona State University and in the team of Battle Creek Bombers in the Northwoods League, then in the UC Irvine.
Baseball is still important for Hoechlin , in an interview in 2008 he declared:
“Baseball’s always been my dream, I’ve actually recently had a few offers for some movies that I’ve had to turn down because they shoot during the season. That’s something I definitely want to pursue, but right now, baseball is my priority.”

We don’t know much about his private life. he just mentioned in an interview that he was 15 years old when he gave (or received ) his first kiss. He said also that he is very close to his mother as he recognizes that he is a mama’s boy. And when asked “What did he dream about last night?”, he answered “My girlfriend”. Tyler is said dating Rachele Brooke Smith, but this is still a gossip nothing official. He was also said to have link with Brittany Snow, but it looks a little bit arranged…
STEREK
In the TV Series Teen Wolf, Tyler plays Derek and Dylan O’Brien is Stiles. Two characters who are written as straights. But interestigly enough the fans imagine a bromance between them and create a name for their potential romantic relationship which is STEREK. Fan drawings, websites, videos are now circulating on the net. Jeff Davis, the writer was surprised when he discovered at the end of Season 2 that the fan imagination goes beyond his own, but probably in the Season 3 he will think about it !
