American supermodel Tyra banks has confirmed her split from longtime boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin after seven years together, revealing that she’s single and ready to find love again at 52.
The former America’s Next Top Model host shared the surprising update during an appearance on New York radio station Hot 97 earlier this week, before confirming her relationship status to the station on Thursday, November 12 2026.
Asked whether she was back on the dating scene, the supermodel enthusiastically confirmed that she was, but admitted there was one thing she wasn’t prepared to try.
“I’m like, ‘What the hell is a Raya?'” she joked about the exclusive celebrity dating app, adding: “No, but I am dating. It’s nice to be single, it’s been a while.”
Her comments come after months of speculation about her relationship with Canadian businessman Louis, with whom she was last publicly photographed in April 2025.
Banks and Bélanger-Martin, 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.
