Tyra Banks might have had one of the most successful super model careers ever (especially as a black woman), but she hasn’t been so lucky in her love life. Despite several serious relationships, Banks has never been married or had any children, something she’s said she always wanted to do when modeling ended. At 38 years old, although she loves her career, she does admit having kids has been on her mind more than anything else lately. So much so, that she’s starting to think it would even be difficult for her to get pregnant, since she’s pushed having a family all the way to the side for just about everything else.
In an interview on the Steve Harvey show, Banks reveals to Steve that she is definitely ready for children and completely wanting to settle down:
“I’m really ready to have some babies. I want babies! I’ve always wanted them, but I’ve been saying ‘I want babies in three years’ since I was, like, 27. And now I’m 28,” she laughs. “No, I’m 38 — I think it’s time. [My eggs are] going to be hard-boiled and fried and scrambled up in there, so it’s time to get those eggs working!”
There are a lot of rumors regarding who Tyra is currently dating at the moment, with most even suggesting that she currently has a romance with her America’s Next Top Model Co Judge, Rob Evans. Tyra’s denies dating Evans and even says that despite popular belief, she’s not into younger men. (I guess this also means that whole rumor of her dating Drake was just that, a rumor.
“I ain’t no cougar!” The former Victoria Secret model said jokingly to Harvey.
Steve Harvey’s interview with Tyra Banks airs this Wednesday. Check out the clip below:
Tyra Banks a Cougar? Wow, I must be getting old ’cause she is not old to me?
Tyra ain’t got no man or kids because her a– is crazy. LOL. That whole career excuse is just a front. And that goes for a lot of women. Fix your crazy and you’ll get wifed up.
Aww Tyra. Love her but she can’t keep a man! I’m not sure why though because she seems so cool to me. Maybe she’s dating the wrong men?
It seems like a lot of women are in Tyra’s shoes. Great career and no decent love life. Hang in there boo.
As beautiful as Tyra is, I do not know if she is marriage material. Besides, you have to question any woman linked to Drake.
I thought her best relationship was with director John Singleton. Yall are probably too young to remember that one though. That’s what she needs. An older and equally if not more successful man.
It sucks that no matter how many accomplishments a woman has, if she’s not married with kids by a certain age, she feels like a failure. Will that ever change?
Unfortunately, no. I think most women are just wired that way.
Well what is she doing to get married and have babies? Is she dating men who are ready to do those things? i know she said she isn’t a cougar but the only men she’s been linked to in the last couple of years are young ones. Maybe she’s not meeting the right men?
