Tyra Banks Sort of Regrets Posting A Picture of Look-Alike Son York!

Tyra Banks stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday (July 27) evening, and opened up about what forced her to share a picture of her adorable son York back in June!

The 43-year-old entertainer revealed that she hadn’t originally planned on posting any pictures of her 16-month-old child, but that all changed when the paparazzi got involved.

“It wasn’t so much that I was itching for the world to see him,” Tyra began to tell Seth. “I went to a restaurant for Father’s Day with my son and my dad. It was by the ocean and my son was, ‘Awa! Awa! Awa!’ Water. And so I was like, ‘OK, you’re going to get in the water for the first time.’ I slathered him with sunscreen; he was looking purple, ’cause he’s black, so when we put on sunscreen we look purple. And he just was looking crazy�”got slammed by waves, sand everywhere.”

“I’m trying to hide him with a blanket. I pull over to the gas station after they get the shot, I text his dad [fashion photographer Erik Asla] and I’m like, ‘I’ve got to put this picture out before the paparazzi. I don’t want them to make money off our child and have the first picture.’ So, I posted the damn picture,” Tyra explained. “The next day, there ain’t no paparazzi pictures, ’cause mama knew how to hide that camera. She’s a supermodel for a reason! And so now his picture is out there and I didn’t need it to be!”
