Gay Porn Star Tyler Roberts Has Died
Str8Up is sorry to report that gay porn star Tyler Roberts has died after being hospitalized last month in Palm Springs, California. Roberts was just 34 years old, and a cause of death has not been made public. As we reported last month, Roberts was suffering from heart failure and fighting for his life in the ICU, and while he kept up that fight for several weeks, his boyfriend Aaron Thomas just shared that Roberts died yesterday:
I am so heartbroken to share that my love @XXXTylerRoberts passed away yesterday. His family and I are grieving as Eric left a huge space behind that can’t easily be fixed. Lead with love and tell everyone you can you love them as if it’s the last. I love you Bubba. Rest now. pic.twitter.com/DndnBq2D7n

A prolific and beloved performer whose career spanned nearly 15 years, Tyler Roberts’ breakout role was in TitanMen’s “Home Invasion” in 2008. The gentle giant (he was at least 6’4″) with the unforgettable smile went on to star in dozens of productions at several of the major studios, having a career resurgence in 2018 with performances at Falcon, MEN, and more. That’s Roberts (above) at the Str8Up awards in 2020.
Tyler Roberts was thankfully with family and his boyfriend when he passed. His mother posted the heartbreaking news on Facebook tonight, writing, “Yesterday I held my son’s hand and told him how much I love him for the last time. Forever and always, my baby you’ll be. Rest now, my son.”
Our love goes out to Tyler Roberts’ friends and family. Some photos of him through the years:
