Tyler Blackburn Wasn't Prepared For How Quickly Fans Took To 'Malex' on 'Roswell, New Mexico'

Tyler Blackburn is opening up about Malex more after this week’s flashback episode of Roswell, New Mexico.

In new interviews with Bustle and EW, the 32-year-old star dished about the importance of the relationship and what fans can look forward to with the couple.

“I just didn’t know that the ‘ship … was going to be quite so big,” Tyler shared. “It normalizes a gay relationship in a way that is very necessary and the response to it being as good that it is just really warms my heart because it makes me realize there is growth happening — you know? Especially in younger audiences.”

He continues, opening up about how Alex would deal with knowing the truth about Michael, “I feel like Michael’s being cautious. I think Alex has really given him the runaround up until this point.”

“I don’t think the Michael would have as big of an issue as one might think in telling Alex, I think he just needs to fully trust him first,” Tyler says. “Because he loves him so much, I think he’d be more willing to be open up. Alex isn’t left completely in the dark for the whole season. You’ll have to watch to see how that unfolds and how that changes the relationship.

Roswell, New Mexico airs Tuesdays on The CW.
