GOD bless America. Hillary Clinton’s 22-year-old nephew has spiced up the presidential race with the internet all aflutter thanks to a smouldering photo shoot.
Tyler Clinton came to the world’s attention when he was revealed as the subject of these modelling shots by photographer Adina Doria.
The 22-year-old is the son of Bill Clinton’s half-brother, Roger, and according to the outlet that unearthed the pictures, recently graduated from Loyola Marymount University in California and that former president Clinton reportedly spoke at his commencement speech.

The part-time model was present on stage at the end of the last night at the Democratic National Convention, where he gave his aunt Hillary a hug, and a glimpse of him was all that was needed for the internet to sit up and take notice.
Doria said working with Tyler for the shoot last October was “amazing”.
“He was incredibly professional, very well-mannered and a truly genuine person. He was friendly to everyone on set and arrived early to location,” she told ET.
She planned the shoot over dinner with him, and it took just a few hours to deliver the images shot for 7 For All Mankind jeans, Citizens of Humanity and Superdry, owned and operated by ‘Tyler’s dad’s dear friend, Gerard Guez’, she said.

Tyler arrived at the shoot with his Dad in tow, and was ‘a natural’, she said..
“He really deserves this attention,” she said. “I am both humbled and honoured to have received such an incredible response from fans around the world.”
She’s planning another shoot with him later in August.
But it seems those with an interest in Tyler will have to worship him from afar — Adina revealed he has a significant other.
“In addition to modelling, I learned he and his girlfriend are very active in the LGBT rights movement,” she told ET.
