Tyra Banks told New York’s HOT 97 radio station that her relationship with Canadian entrepreneur Louis Bélanger‑Martin had come to an end, concluding a partnership that lasted roughly seven years.

After the split, she said she initially focused on caring for her mother and her son, York, before deciding to re‑enter the dating scene.

The next day, Banks spoke to TMZ while out in New York, confirming she was actively dating and enjoying the newfound freedom.

Friends suggested she try the celebrity‑focused dating app Raya, but Banks said she was unfamiliar with the platform and had no interest in pursuing love through a screen.

Banks and Bélanger‑Martin were first spotted together publicly in 2019 and kept their relationship largely private, with occasional joint appearances such as the 2022 TIME100 Gala and a 2025 film promotion in Los Angeles.

By 2024, the pair were reported to be living and working together in Australia, where Bélanger‑Martin became involved in Banks’ ice‑cream brand SMiZE Cream.

Neither party has disclosed specific reasons for the breakup, and both have kept details of the separation private.
