Tyra Banks and her beau have seemingly broken up after at least seven years together.
The supermodel and “America’s Next Top Model” creator, 52, told New York City radio station HOT 97 on Nov. 10 that she’s “a single woman now,” confirming that she and investor Louis Bélanger-Martin are no longer together.
The revelation came when she was asked about “the biggest lesson you’ve learned about love and relationships.”
“I think that it’s never too late to start again,” she replied. “I’m a single woman now. I’m 52 years old, and I’m single, and I kinda was over it. I’m like: ‘I’ve got my mom. I’ve got my son, and I’m good.”
She continued, “Now I feel feminine. [I’m] dating; I’m back to that. And there’s no such thing as ‘It has to be over because of an age’ or because you’re just done. So I’m living my feminine-ness right now.”
When approached by a TMZ camerawoman in New York City on Nov. 11, Banks confirmed she’s single but denied using dating apps.
“That’d be crazy,” she said. “People are like, ‘You need to go on the Raya. I’m like, ‘What the hell is a Raya?'”
She admitted that “it’s nice to be single. It’s been a while.”
How long were Tyra Banks and boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin together?
In October 2019, Page Six first published photos of the two in public together. In a report the following month, the outlet reported, citing an anonymous source, that the couple might have been linked together as early as August 2018.
Bélanger-Martin has supported Banks’ career over the years and was the chief financial officer for her ice cream company, SMiZE & DREAM, from July 2020 until January 2026, according to his LinkedIn.
He was also in the studio the week Banks cohosted “Today with Jenna & Friends” in April 2025, where the model shared advice on April 17 about how women should “throw the net” and widen their search in dating.
“Wait, so did you throw the net and Louis was one of the fish?” Jenna Bush-Hager asked, to which Banks confirmed, “Louis was in the net, honey.”
Banks added that she “threw those fish out so quick, and I got the best goldfish.”
Banks has a 10-year-old son, York Banks Asla, with her ex-boyfriend Erik Asla, a photographer.
