Tyler Hynes on the Heart-Shaped Sunglasses Behind His New Hallmark Film

April 23, 2026

Tyler Hynes' devoted fanbase—affectionately known as "Hynies"—will want to grab a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses before settling in for his latest Hallmark Channel project.

The actor has made the accessory the defining emblem for his new film "I'll Be Seeing You," sporting the playful shades across social media for several months leading up to the release. What makes this project particularly special for Hynes is his involvement as both star and executive producer, marking the first Hallmark movie he's helped shape from conception through completion.

The film follows Amy as a work commitment forces her to reschedule weekend time with her grandmother. The two instead embark on a road trip featuring one meaningful detour, during which they encounter a charming activities director who becomes instrumental to their journey.

When asked about the symbolism of the heart-shaped glasses, Hynes explained his choice during a conversation with HallmarkChannel.com. He described the moment he encountered the sunglasses as almost serendipitous, noting that the heart-eye design felt like the perfect visual match for his audience. According to Hynes, the glasses seemed to choose themselves—appearing almost magically appropriate for the project.

For fans interested in matching the look, similar heart-shaped sunglasses are available on Amazon for under $6.

"I'll Be Seeing You" premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, April 25 at 8pm ET, with next-day streaming available on Hallmark+.
