Make Page Six a Preferred Source Tyra Banks confirmed her split from longtime boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin after seven years of dating.
“Yeah,” Banks told TMZ photographers on Thursday when asked if she is single and back on the market.
“Maybe I am, [but] hell no am I online dating, girl, that’d be crazy!”
The model explained that her friends have advised her to try the celebrity dating app Raya.
“I’m like, ‘What the hell is a Raya?’” the “Halloween: Resurrection” actress quipped. “No, but I am dating. It’s nice to be single, it’s been a while.”
In October 2019, Page Six broke the news that Banks, 52, was dating the Canadian businessman. At the time, an insider told us the actress and Bélanger-Martin had a cozy dinner at New York City hot spot Hutong.
“The two were definitely on a romantic date,” the source told us, adding, “But [they] kept the PDA low-key.”
The following month, we exclusively reported that the former Victoria’s Secret model and Bélanger-Martin were getting very serious and even moved in together.
“Tyra and Louis live together but Louis always moves around a lot for business reasons,” the source said.
The two were bouncing around from his apartment in England, house in Barbados and home in Magog, Quebec.
The insider also told us that Banks’ 10-year-old son, York — whom she shares with ex Erik Asla — had been spending time with her new beau.
“Tyra’s child has his own room at Louis’ house in Magog and Tyra moved some of her stuff — clothes, jewelry — there too.”
By January 2020, a source close to Banks told us the pair were “very, very much in love.”
“They’re a pretty happy couple and have been together for over a year,” noting that by that point, their romance was “not a secret.”

That same month, she brought her man to the Hollywood premiere of “Bad Boys for Life” and they were photographed together. However, in more recent years, the former “America’s Next Top Model” host kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
Banks and Bélanger-Martin were last publicly spotted together at the Shadow Force event in Los Angeles in April 2025.
On Tuesday, the TV personality gave a glimpse into her post-breakup mindset, without sharing any insight on the split.
“[I’ve learned] it’s never too late to start again. I’m a single woman now, right? I’m 52 years old and I’m single,” she said on the Hot 97 radio show Tuesday. “I kinda was over it. I’m like, ‘I got my mom, I got my son and I’m good.’”
Despite her initial hesitancy to get back into the dating scene, Banks shared that she feels ready to now.
“I feel feminine dating [and] I’m back to that. There is no such thing as, ‘Oh, it has to be over because of an age or because you’re just done or, you know?’ So, I’m living my feminineness right now.”
