Get ready for another season of love, laughs, and real talk! Tommy Miles, affectionately known as “Nephew Tommy,” is back at the helm for Season 11 of OWN’s hit show “Ready To Love.” Fresh off the show’s Reality Television Award nominations, Miles sat down to share his excitement about the new season, the unique flavor of Detroit singles, and a deeply personal journey that reshaped his perspective.
The Heart of ‘Ready To Love’
Miles expressed his gratitude for the show’s longevity and its impact. “It feels good,” he said about the nominations. “Everybody knows we don’t sugarcoat nothing. It is what it is, either you’re gonna find love or you’re not. If nothing else, you found out who you are.” This commitment to authenticity is what resonates with viewers and participants alike.
Beyond hosting, Miles sees himself as a mentor, genuinely invested in helping singles find meaningful connections. “When I see that I’m helping somebody make a connection, that’s the biggest reward for me,” he shared. Drawing from his own 25-year marriage, he offers candid advice, emphasizing that true connection requires genuine desire and self-awareness.
Detroit Brings the Heat for Season 11
Fans should prepare for a vibrant new season as “Ready To Love” heads to Detroit. Miles teased that the Motor City brought a unique energy and style. “Detroit brought it to the table. I wasn’t expecting how much style they had. They came in dressed!” he exclaimed. He even hinted at a memorable moment from a Motown-themed party that viewers won’t want to miss.
A Powerful Battle with Cancer
Beyond the dating show spotlight, Miles shared a deeply personal story about his battle with thyroid cancer. He spoke candidly about undergoing a nine-hour surgery and a three-week hospital stay. “Once I let everybody know, I felt so much better,” he admitted, highlighting the importance of vulnerability.
His experience has made him a passionate advocate for men’s health. “We as Black men, we’re so big on being strong. But once you start talking about it… you realize how powerful it is to share,” he urged. His message is clear: “Don’t be scared. Go get yourself checked. Stop asking your homeboy for medicine, go to the doctor. Your body’s talking to you, you just have to listen.”

While “Ready To Love: Detroit” is set to premiere on November 7th, Miles hinted that there might be more exciting ventures on the horizon. “I got something laying in the cut,” he teased, promising to share details when the time is right.
