Tyra Banks splits from boyfriend

Dec 13, 2011 | Bang Showbiz | 25 comments

Tyra Banks has split from her boyfriend and has gone on a “spiritual trip” to Bali to get over the break-up.

The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ host has separated from banker John Utendahl after three years with him and has decided to seek solace in the Far East with a female friend.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Tyra has gone away with a female friend and has been island-hopping, visiting Bali and taking a spiritual retreat.”

Tyra, 38, first met John, 50, in 2007 but the pair only publicly revealed they were a couple a year later.

In the wake of the separation, the banker was reportedly spotted last Thursday (08.12.11) with a Russian model at New York night spot Catch.

News of the couple’s split comes as a shock as earlier this year Tyra admitted she wanted to have a baby.

The former supermodel said: “I definitely want babies."

However, she admitted to talk show host Piers Morgan she didn’t think she needed to get married before she got pregnant.

She added: "I don't think it's (getting married) necessarily necessary."

Has not Tyra had too many boyfriends among whom were Tiger Woods and that anonymous boyfriend who used to abuse her? Gone are the days when girls would have less than a handful of boyfriends (total) and then get married.
