In recent news that may surprise fans, Tyra Banks has officially announced her split from longtime partner Louis Bélanger-Martin. The former supermodel and television host confirmed her single status during an appearance on Hot 97 Radio Show on November 10, after being together for seven years.
Life Changes and New Beginnings
During her candid interview, Banks shared her feelings about the breakup, stating, “I’m a single woman now.” The 52-year-old, who is also a mother to her 10-year-old son Yorks with ex-partner Erik Asla, mentioned that she had come to terms with her relationship status. “I was kind of over it. Like, I’ve got my mom, I’ve got my son and I’m good,” she added.
Reflecting on the Relationship
Although she refrained from delving into the specifics of the split, Banks’ announcement comes shortly after she had revealed that she and Bélanger-Martin had moved to Australia together over a year ago. Reflecting on her emotional state post-breakup, she admitted, “I didn’t even have, like, a drive.” However, her perspective has transformed since then.
Embracing a New Chapter
As she continues to navigate her new chapter, Banks expressed a renewed sense of femininity and independence. “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,” she noted, emphasizing that age should not dictate one’s experiences or opportunities in life. “There is no such thing that, ‘Oh it has to be over because of an age or because you’re just done.’”
With her refreshing outlook, Tyra Banks appears poised to embrace her new single status and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.
