<p>The 44-year-old actor&#8217;s Instagram model girlfriend made the revelation during an Instagram Live together.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Tyrese Reacts To Girlfriend Claiming She Was Initially &#8220;More Interested&#8221; In His Late Friend, Co-Star Paul Walker</h3>
<p>Zelie, 28, said Tyrese &#8220;wasn&#8217;t my type at all,&#8221; before adding her &#8220;type (was) actually Paul Walker.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He wasn&#8217;t my type at all,&#8221; Zelie said of Tyrese. &#8220;My type is actually Paul Walker, rest in peace. He wasn&#8217;t my type at all. And my type is not white. I was just more interested in Paul.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Walker appeared alongside Tyrese in multiple Fast &; the Furious films before dying in a 2013 car accident.</p>
<p>However, Zelie wrenched her beau&#8217;s heart even more after revealing it was definitely not love and first sight between her and Tyrese.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Even when I met him, I was like, &#8216;Eh, he&#8217;s kinda old.&#8217; I just like his smile,&#8221; Zelie shared, while rubbing an upset-looking Tyrese&#8217;s shoulders. &#8220;His personality was OK, but he didn&#8217;t understand the Instagram model thing. He would always talk down on Instagram models.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;You Wanted The Homie? You Didn&#8217;t Want Me&#8221; Tyrese Responds Upon Learning Of GF&#8217;s Original Preference</h3>
<p>Tyrese tried to be a good sport about it, however, and playfully pushed Zelie away saying &#8216;Don&#8217;t touch me&#8221; after learning of her initial preferences.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This just went really bad really fast. So you wanted the homie? You didn&#8217;t want me,&#8221; Tyrese replied.</p></blockquote>
