American supermodel and television personality Tyra Banks has confirmed that she is single following the end of her long-term relationship with Canadian businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin.
The 52-year-old former America’s Next Top Model host confirmed the breakup while speaking to TMZ in New York City on Thursday, November 12, revealing that she is looking forward to returning to the dating scene.
Banks had previously hinted at the change in her relationship status during an appearance on HOT 97 earlier in the week, where she also described herself as single.
Despite the end of the relationship, the model appears to be embracing her new chapter with optimism. She said she was excited about dating again but made it clear that she would not be turning to dating applications to find love, specifically ruling out platforms such as Raya, which is popular among celebrities and high-profile personalities.
Banks and Bélanger-Martin were first romantically linked around 2018 or 2019. Although neither has publicly disclosed exactly when their relationship ended, the pair had maintained a relatively private romance over the years.
Their relationship was significant enough to involve major lifestyle changes. Banks previously relocated to Australia with Bélanger-Martin and her son, York, while pursuing business opportunities connected to her ice cream brand, SMiZE, and Dream.
The decision to move abroad reflected a period when Banks was balancing her personal life with her growing business ambitions outside the traditional modeling and television industries.
However, the former couple largely kept details of their relationship away from public attention, making the circumstances surrounding their separation unclear.
Banks, who rose to international fame as one of the world’s most recognizable supermodels, has built a successful career spanning fashion, television, entertainment, and entrepreneurship.
Her latest comments suggest that she is not allowing the breakup to define her next chapter. Instead, she appears comfortable with her single status and open to the possibility of finding love again, this time on her own terms.
For now, neither Banks nor Bélanger-Martin has offered further details about what led to the split.
