Model Tyra Banks has taken to Instagram to make the joyful announcement that she’s welcomed a baby boy into the world.
The 42-year-old uploaded a snap of an adorable baby hat, telling her fans that her son, York Banks was delivered via an ‘angel’ surrogate.
The touching message read:
“The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here.He's got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik's mouth and chin.
"As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone.
"York Banks Asla, welcome to the world.”
The former America’s Next Top Model host has previously discussed fertility issues.
Speaking on FABlife in September 2015, she told co-hosts through teary eyes:
“I have wanted to say this for so long and did not plan to say this today… but I feel like we are so hard on each other and judgemental to each other.
“I’m so tried of seeing on my social media ‘why don’t you have kids, why don’t you have kids?’
“You don’t know! You have no idea what I’m going through… When I was 23 I would tell myself I would have kids in three years, and then at 24 I’d say another three years… and every year I would keep saying that.
“And after a while it’s like now I want to [have children] and it’s not that easy.”
Tyra has been with photographer boyfriend Erik since 2013 after meeting on Norway’s version of Next Top Model.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy Tyra – we’re so happy for you!
