Watch: Where Tyra Banks Stands With Law Roach After ‘Project Runway’ Clash
If you were rooting for Tyra Banks and Louis Bélanger-Martin—sorry.
The America’s Next Top Model alum recently confirmed she’s single, revealing she and her longtime partner had split after seven years together.
“I’m a single woman now,” Banks—mom to son Yorks, 10, with ex Erik Asla—said during a Nov. 10 appearance on Hot 97 Radio Show. “I’m 52 years old and I was kind of over it. Like, I’ve got my mom, I’ve got my son and I’m good.’”
While Banks—who first stepped out with Bélanger-Martin in 2019—did not get into the specifics of her breakup, her relationship status change comes just over a year after she confirmed the pair had relocated to Australia together.
But Banks did reveal how she felt immediately after the split—and how she’s evolved since.
“I didn’t even have, like, a drive,” she admitted. “But now I’m like, you know what? It is not too late. Now, I feel feminine. I’m dating. I’m back to that. And there is no such thing that, ‘Oh it has to be over because of an age or because you’re just done.’”
As she put it, “I’m living in my feminineness right now.”
What’s more, Banks admitted that she’s also shifted what she’s looking for in a partner.
“When I was young, he just had to be fine as hell, man,” she quipped. “He just had to be pretty. And now, I don’t care. I still want to be attracted to him but it’s not like that.”
When it comes to the most important quality in a potential man, Banks noted, “Just somebody that is present.”
And given her past romantic experiences, Banks revealed the biggest lesson she’s learned about love, noting, “It’s never too late to start again.”

Banks and Bélanger-Martin’s last public outing as a couple was in April 2025, when they attended the Shadow Force tastemaker event in Los Angeles. That same month, Banks confirmed the couple’s move to Australia.
Admitting she was considering the move for the success of her ice cream company SMiZE and Dream, she confirmed during an appearance on Today that she asked her then-partner and son, “‘So, are we going to do this family?’ And we did.”
