Tyra Banks, 52, splits from businessman boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin after seven years... and is already dating again: 'I was over it'

Supermodel Tyra Banks is back on the market. 

The catwalk queen, 52, has confirmed her split from Louis Bélanger-Martin, the Canadian businessman she had been dating for seven years. 

But Banks isn't letting herself dwell in heartbreak; she's already dating again.

'I'm a single woman now,' she said in a new interview with Hot 97, not giving the exact date of her split from Bélanger-Martin.

Describing how it's 'never too late to start again', she said: 'I'm 52-years-old and I'm single and I kind of was over it. I'm like, I've got my mom, I've got my son, and I'm good.'

'I didn't even have like a drive, you know what I'm talking about?  But now I'm like, you know what? It is not too late. And now I feel feminine dating, you know? I'm back to that and and there is no such thing as, "Oh, it has to be over because of an age or because you're just done."'

She later jokingly asked the host, 'Who do you know?'

Banks further confirmed she was single in an interview with TMZ, calling it 'nice' to be on her own. 

While she is dating again, she drew the line at online dating, calling the prospect of her doing so 'crazy.' 

'People like, "You need to go on the Raya." I'm like, "What the hell is a Raya?"

'But I am dating. It's nice to be single. It's been a while,' she said before jokingly welcoming calls from potential suitors by making a phone gesture. 

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Banks for comment.  

Banks first started dating Bélanger-Martin, a businessman who founded the companies Groupe W, Inc. and DTI Software, Inc, in 2018. 

Bélanger-Martin served as a support system for Banks as she grappled with feelings of insecurity over her ventures in the world of business.  

'That’s where my stuff happens — of self doubt, am I good enough, am I just a model?' she previously told Today. 

'My man is amazing at helping me through those moments.'

He was by her side as she co-hosted Today's Jenna & Friends last year, where she praised him for being 'super supportive.' 

Banks also revealed how she and Bélanger-Martin became a couple as she offered dating tips to female viewers. 

'Ladies, we do not need to be fishing with a fishing pole! You throw the net, OK?' she said. 

'These men, they throw a net,' she said. '"This one, this one, this one," at the same time. And then they narrow, narrow, narrow, narrow down until they find the one.

'We [women] just "one at a time, one at a time, one at a time! Oh my God, he just got married all of a sudden and I don't know why!" Because he threw the net!' 

'Throw the net, ladies. And look at them and then go, "OK, I want you," because that’s what they’re doing to us.'

'Louis was in the net, honey,' she said. 

'I was the only fish!' he replied. 

'Uh, sure!' Tyra replied, before adding: 'I got the best goldfish.' 

Bélanger-Martin shares a son with his ex-wife Valérie Martin Scraire while Banks has 10-year-old son York with her ex, Norwegian photographer Erik Asla.
