Tyra Banks has confirmed her split from Canadian businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin after roughly seven years together.

According to HELLO!, the 52-year-old supermodel broke the news during an appearance on New York radio station Hot 97 earlier this week, then confirmed her single status to TMZ on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

WBLS reports the relationship began around 2018, though HELLO! notes the couple was first romantically linked in 2019, with some reports suggesting it started the previous year.

The pair kept the romance largely out of the spotlight, attending occasional public events such as the 2022 TIME100 Gala in New York, and were last photographed together at a Los Angeles promotional event for the film Shadow Force in April 2025.

Neither the timing of the separation nor its cause has been revealed.

The most talked-about detail is Banks's frank admission that she is out of touch with modern digital dating.

When people in her circle suggested she join exclusive, celebrity-focused dating platforms, WBLS reports she appeared baffled: "People be like, 'you need to go on the Raya'" — followed by "What the hell is a Raya?"

HELLO! adds that she joked about the app but confirmed, "No, but I am dating. It's nice to be single, it's been a while."

For fans of a mogul who has spent decades shaping pop culture, the surprise is that the ultimate shapeshifter is genuinely navigating single life at 52 with old-school instincts rather than curated apps.

Banks herself is the primary source, and she has been unusually open across multiple outlets. On Hot 97, HELLO! reports, she reflected on rediscovering confidence in her fifties: "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 explained she had previously felt content focused on family — "I got my mom, I got my son and I'm good" — referring to her son York, born in 2016.

The couple's shared life included relocating to Australia to expand her business ventures, where Bélanger-Martin lived with Banks and York as she developed her ice cream brand, SMiZE & DREAM, per WBLS.

Both outlets frame the split as part of a broader pivot. WBLS notes the split comes as Banks pushes her global ice cream brand, SMiZE & DREAM, and says she has frequently stated she hopes the dessert company defines her professional legacy even more than her decades in fashion.

Meanwhile, she is also managing headlines about her professional relationships: responding to feud rumors with stylist Law Roach that surfaced after a heated exchange on Project Runway Season 22, she told Yahoo-quoted interviews, "I actually haven't even talked to Law, but I see him talking, Chile... I gave you that voice. I was the first person to put you on TV."

Roach, for his part, has acknowledged she gave him his first major television opportunity through America's Next Top Model.

It remains unclear whether Banks plans to move back to the United States full-time or keep her residence in Australia, WBLS reports. For now, she seems focused on her entrepreneurial pursuits and what the outlet calls her new status as one of the world's most famous bachelorettes.

She has not revealed when the relationship ended or what led to the separation, per HELLO!. Whether love arrives through chance encounters or — despite her confusion — through an app like Raya, her comments suggest she is genuinely open to finding love again in a new chapter of life.
