Who Is Sheinelle Jones' Celebrity Crush?

Sheinelle Jones revealed she always had a crush on Tyson Beckford.
As for Jones, she confessed she used to be "obsessed" with Tyson Beckford, which once prompted producers to hire him as her guest co-host.
"The problem with this job is when you're on a show and say 'I used to have a crush on so and so,' they say, 'Would you like to co-host with them,'" she reflected on sitting at the news desk with Beckford. "That's what happened to me."
Fortunately, in Bush Hager's words, Jones managed to not get "all blushy blushy."
"I have a gear and I turned off that gear," she explained. "And then we were cool."
