Don’t ever feel sorry for Tyson Beckford even if you see him crying on TV.

The legendary ‘90s supermodel is doing just fine in his search for the one on the new Bravo reality show, “Kings Court.”

The Sunday night dating series follows Beckford and two other single hunks — NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer and WWE legend Thaddeus “Titus O’Neil” Bullard — in the search for their queen.

Though filming is done primarily in Atlanta, Beckford made some time for some fun over the weekend back home in Miami.

The native New Yorker, 54, was a special guest Saturday night at a Sonrisa Rum party at Shiso rooftop bar in Wynwood. The “Zoolander” star sipped on cocktails while, um, holding court.

Something else we don’t worry about? Beckford’s famous physique taking a hit from a night out on the town. On Instagram Tuesday, Beckford dropped a clip talking to Bravo about his daily workout routine.

“I have a tendency to overdrink too much water,” said the fitness buff, who does an average of 300 to 500 ab crunches first thing in the morning, depending on his schedule. “From there, 300 to 500 pushups before I go to the gym.”

Yes, he said “before.”

It’s unclear if the erstwhile ladies man, who coparents a grown son Jordan with celebrity stylist April Roomet, found love on the show, and of course, Bravo can never tell.

What we do know is the type of woman Beckford is looking for: He told UsWeekly for last month’s cover story.

“She’s got to be like me — she can’t take herself too seriously,” the runway vet told the outlet. “[She] definitely has to have a sense of humor because I’m a practical joker. I’m probably going to get a picture of her sleeping some way and post it on Instagram, and she can’t be mad. If she’s wearing her mask, I definitely got to get a picture of that.”

What you see is what you get with this guy. After a bunch of breakups, Beckford felt finally ready to dip his toe back into the pool again, despite cameras being on them basically 24/7.

“Maybe this is the therapy I need? Maybe I do need to get back out there?” he told Us. “I went in and decided not to hold back. We’re just going to be our genuine self — that person who is emotional, the mama’s boy. We’re going to show that side.”
