Tyra Banks: Finally Finding Love?

May 2nd, 2007

The love life of America’s Next Top Model creator, Tyra Banks, has often been the subject of the media. Whether it’s because of her controversial pair-ups or her being loveless, the press just keeps on digging up dish about the former supermodel.
Banks’ latest “romance” hype, according to the New York Post, is her being seen at Club 66 in Midtown with Knicks coach Isiah Thomas. In addition, she was Thomas’ courtside guest at the final Knicks home game of the season. While Thomas’ rep maintains that Thomas and the America’s Next Top Model host are just “old family friends,” many are speculating that there might be more to it than just a platonic relationship.
On the other hand, this is just all rumors until either party confirms the actual status of their relationship. Meanwhile, Banks has admitted to the fact that she aspires to get married and have a family of her own. But while these things seem attainable for the 33-year old TV personality, she considers her fame and stardom to be a big hindrance to her finding Mr. Right and settling down.
After launching her own talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, her drive in getting into a serious relationship weakened. “I want to get married and have kids but the more successful I get, the less interested guys are… I was like, ‘It’s going to be so much easier now because they’re going to see that I’m normal and goofy,’ but it’s worse,” she said.
Apart from being the creator and host of America’s Next Top Model, Banks is also known as an author, actress, singer and executive producer. She is also famous for being an original Victoria’s Secret Angel and a high profile print and runway model that has graced the covers of Sports Illustrated, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.
