Supermodel Tyra Banks is a mom — and the notoriously difficult beauty was unusually modest as she celebrated the birth of her first child! The "America's Next Top Model" host and her boyfriend, Erik Asla, had the newborn boy via surrogate! The new mom posted a picture of a baby's hat on social media (inset), adding: "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 Hollywood Reporter’s Annual Women In Entertainment Breakfast
Insiders are hoping that Tyra will stay this happy, too! The National ENQUIRER has reported in the past how contestants on "America's Next Top Model" deserved combat pay! One memorable episode featured Tyra screaming over the anger issues of another would-be fashion star! The good news is that Tyra has the money to avoid the rigors of motherhood. It's hard to imagine Tyra changing diapers after The ENQUIRER revealed that she frequented a Los Angeles spa to enjoy "white chocolate pedicures" — in which her feet were bathed in Godiva chocolate liqueur!
Tyra Banks Leaves a Luncheon at Milk Studios
Tyra better not expect much in the way of baby presents from some old employees, though. The ENQUIRER revealed that Tyra was very tacky when it came time to say goodbye to the staff of her canceled talk show in 2010. She'd already outraged staffers by giving them McDonald's hamburgers for Christmas gifts in 2007 — but outdid herself recently with a farewell party at the studio, insiders said. Tyra thanked the 100 staffers for their loyalty, and then raised their hopes by promising them a "special gift" — that turned out to be snapshots of the workers taken by one of the show's photographers! Let's hope that Tyra's new bundle of joy does better celebrating his first birthday!
