Tyra Banks Confirms Split From Boyfriend of Seven Years, Says She Is Single at 52 and Dating Again
American supermodel and entrepreneur Tyra Banks, 52, has confirmed that she and Canadian businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin have split after about seven years together. Speaking on New York radio station HOT 97 this week, she said: "I'm a single woman now. I'm 52 years old, and I'm single." She added: "It's never too late to start again."
According to PEOPLE and HELLO!, Banks said on the program that she had previously been content focusing on her family: "I've got my mom, I've got my son, and I'm good." On November 12, TMZ asked her in New York whether she was single and back on the market, and she said yes, adding: "I am dating. It's nice to be single, it's been a while." Asked about the celebrity dating app Raya, she joked, "What the hell is a Raya?", saying she would not use dating apps.
The pair were first linked in 2019. According to PEOPLE, Page Six reported in October 2019 that the two had dinner together twice in one week at a restaurant, which brought the relationship into public view. They kept a low profile but occasionally attended public events together, including the TIME100 Gala in New York in 2022. They were last photographed together at a promotional event for the film Shadow Force in Los Angeles in April 2025. Bélanger-Martin also worked at Banks's ice cream company, SMiZE Cream; according to his LinkedIn, he was the brand's chief financial officer from July 2020 to January 2026.
Banks has not said exactly when the couple split or why. Her son, York, was born in 2016, during her previous relationship with Erik Asla.
