Tyra Banks is back on the dating scene after splitting from longtime boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin following nearly seven years together.
The 52-year-old supermodel confirmed her single status during a recent appearance on HOT 97, saying she initially had little interest in finding another relationship.
“I’m a single woman now. I’m 52 years old, and I’m single, and I kind of was over it,” Banks admitted.
The America’s Next Top Model creator explained that having her mother and son, York, in her life initially felt like enough, but her perspective has changed.
“I think that it’s never too late to start again,” she shared.
Banks later confirmed the breakup to TMZ, declaring, “I am dating. It’s nice to be single. It’s been a while.”
Banks and Bélanger-Martin, a Canadian businessman, were first romantically linked in 2019. They largely kept their relationship private and previously lived together in Australia.
The television personality has had several high-profile romances over the years.
She dated former NBA star Chris Webber in the early 2000s and financier John Utendahl before beginning a relationship with Norwegian photographer Erik Asla in 2013.
Banks and Asla welcomed their son, York, via surrogate in 2016 before separating in 2017.
She was also briefly linked to singer Seal in the 1990s.
