THE identity of Paris Jackson’s hunky mystery man has now been confirmed as a Queensland former male model.

Tyler Green, 25, is the hot Gold Coast single who offered Jackson his neck tie and hair elastic at the Melbourne Cup yesterday.

Green, who was engaged to French model Margarita Gauchet but ended it in 2012, accompanied the daughter of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson to the races.

He is now at the centre of online speculation with international publications attempting stitch the pair up romantically.

When approached by Confidential at the races yesterday, Green said he “used to model” but now works as a “tradie”.

“There’s only eCommerce work on the Gold Coast as a model and that’s not really my thing,” he said.

Green was part of a small group with Jackson at the Cup — but sources say they’re just friends.

Green and Jackson sat in a cordoned off area at the front of the marquee with her US representative Tom Hamilton and a close girlfriend, who is an LA stylist.

The group sipped on white wine before they moved on to White Russians.

Jackson, who openly promotes her unshaven legs — and proudly — was overheard telling her friends she hated wearing make-up.

Later on, she wiped off her make-up and pulled hair back with Green’s hair tie. The handsome Aussie escorted Jackson back to her car at the end of the event.

Green has spent time in Utah and even attended the Burning Man Arts & Entertainment Festival.

His time in the US could have sparked the friendship between him and Jackson.

Jackson, an aspiring actor and model, is on her first trip Down Under — somewhere she has long dreamt of visiting as her father and mother, Debbie Rowe, were married here.

“My parents got married in Sydney and I do have friends here too. I’m trying to catch up and see all of them,” she said yesterday.

Jackson split with boyfriend Michael Snoddy after less than a year of dating in February this year.

The 19-year-old is expected to visit the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland today. It is unknown whether Green will accompany her in his hometown state.
