Tyra Banks has confirmed she is single after separating from longtime boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin. In November 2026 interviews, she said she was dating again and open to a fresh start. The couple had been publicly linked since 2019, but Banks has not disclosed exactly when or why their relationship ended. Current coverage should therefore identify Bélanger-Martin as her former partner, rather than continue presenting him as her boyfriend.
Current Dating Status
Banks describes herself as single. Her comments in November are the clearest available evidence of her current relationship status. She also said she was dating, but dating does not necessarily mean that she has entered an exclusive relationship or publicly identified a new boyfriend.
No named new partner was confirmed in the material reviewed. That leaves a straightforward distinction: her relationship with Bélanger-Martin has ended, and she is open to meeting people. An article should not fill the gap by attaching a name to a person photographed nearby or by treating a casual outing as an official announcement.
November Comments
During a HOT 97 interview in November, Banks discussed what she had learned from relationships and the possibility of starting again. She described initially feeling content focusing on her mother and son, then becoming more interested in dating. Her remarks supplied a direct update rather than relying on a source interpreting her social-media activity.
On November 12, she also told TMZ she was single and dating. The second public exchange reinforced the current status. Neither conversation, as reported, provided a detailed breakup timeline, so the announcement date should not be used as though it were necessarily the day the couple separated privately.
Louis Bélanger-Martin
Bélanger-Martin is a Canadian businessman with a background in corporate leadership and investment. He and Banks were first publicly linked in 2019, after appearances together attracted attention. Their relationship subsequently became known even though they generally avoided sharing a continuous account of their personal life.
The pair appeared together at selected events, including the TIME100 Gala in 2022. That public history explains why his name still appears prominently in searches for her boyfriend. Those older appearances remain part of the timeline, but they do not override her new statement that she is single.
Their Past Relationship
Banks and Bélanger-Martin kept much of the relationship private while occasionally discussing their shared work and support for one another. In 2024, she spoke about living and working in Australia, where he held a role connected with her ice-cream business. That was a public glimpse into a partnership extending beyond red-carpet appearances.
Those earlier comments should not be rewritten as evidence of the current relationship continuing. Couples can share a home or business period and later separate. The accurate account preserves the historical details while giving priority to Banks’ more recent description of her own status.
Breakup Timeline
The precise breakup date has not been publicly established in the reviewed reporting. Banks confirmed the change in November 2026, but did not say that the relationship ended immediately before the interviews. The distinction prevents a news publication date from being turned into an unsupported private timeline.
The same caution applies to the reason for the split. There is no adequate basis here for assigning blame, alleging infidelity or presenting work commitments as the cause. A relationship can end without the people involved publishing a complete explanation, and the absence of that explanation does not justify inventing one.
Dating Again
Banks spoke about being open to a new chapter and rejected the idea that age should end the possibility of romance. She also joked about suggestions that she try a dating app. Her comments indicate a willingness to date, not confirmation that she has joined a particular platform or begun a new exclusive partnership.
She discussed valuing stability and a person who is present in a relationship. Those preferences are part of what she chose to share publicly. They do not identify a specific suitor, and a list of qualities should not be converted into a claim that someone matching them is already her boyfriend.
Son York
Banks shares her son York, born in 2016, with photographer Erik Asla. That earlier relationship is separate from her later partnership with Bélanger-Martin. The distinction matters because coverage of a long-term partner’s place in family life should not confuse him with the child’s biological father.
Her recent remarks mentioned the importance of her mother and son in her life. That is relevant to the context in which she discussed being single, but it does not invite speculation about parenting arrangements or private family responses to the breakup. The information she shared can be reported without extending it into an unsupported household narrative.
Latest Update
For this November 2026 update, Tyra Banks is single and has not publicly identified a new boyfriend in the reviewed material. Louis Bélanger-Martin belongs in the account as her former longtime partner. Her own recent comments are the reason older profiles calling him her current boyfriend need to be updated.
The confirmed development is a breakup and her renewed openness to dating. The private timing and cause remain undisclosed. That provides a clear answer to the boyfriend question without predicting her next relationship or presenting an unnamed companion as a confirmed new partner.
