Tyra Banks Reveals Her Dream Life in Australia: Family, Ice Cream, and Iconic Sights
You probably thought you knew all there was to know about Tyra Banks, but here’s a little tidbit you might have missed. The iconic supermodel has taken her talents and her family to the sunny shores of Australia. Yes, you read that right—Tyra has officially made Sydney her new home alongside her partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin, and her 9-year-old son, York Banks Asla. During a recent guest appearance on “Today with Jenna & Friends,” Banks opened up about her big move, and it’s not just for the beautiful beaches or vibrant culture. It turns out, her burgeoning ice cream business, SMiZE and Dream, is a major factor in her decision. “I’ve been going to Australia a lot because we were making a lot of our ice cream there in this big facility, doing our recipes,” she revealed. Now, if you’re scratching your head wondering why an ice cream mogul would choose Australia, let me break it down for you. According to Banks, the land down under is one of the top three countries that devour ice cream, right alongside America and New Zealand. So, naturally, it makes sense that she’d want to set up shop where her product would be appreciated—after all, who doesn’t love ice cream?
In her segment, Tyra also shared snippets of her delightful daily routine in Australia. Imagine this: waking up at 6:30 a.m. to the aroma of fresh coffee brewing in your kitchen, followed by a trip to Tumbalong Park, a favorite haunt for families across Sydney. This isn’t just any park, mind you; it features a mini water park and other attractions that keep kids (and likely parents) entertained for hours. Tyra cautions visitors that once kids discover this paradise, they might never want to leave. Moving on, she makes it clear that her love for Australia extends beyond parks. In front of the iconic Sydney Opera House—yes, the one that everyone has seen in pictures—she talks about how it’s become a regular outing for her family to enjoy live shows. If that doesn’t scream “dream life,” I don’t know what does.
She even gives us a sneak peek of her future ice cream flagship store, which promises to be something spectacular. “Making ice cream has been a lifelong dream of mine,” she said, and it’s all coming together in Australia. As she cruises through the stunning Sydney Harbour, you can practically hear her excitement. “Australia has been a dream come true for me and my family,” she concludes, and who could blame her? With the picturesque views and a thriving business, she’s living the life many only dream about.
So, there you have it, folks. Hopefully, that wasn’t too complicated for you to digest. Tyra Banks has swapped the hustle and bustle of American life for the laid-back charm of Australia, and it seems to be working out splendidly for her.
