Tyra Banks has lived much of her life in front of the lens.
However, when it comes to matters of the private, the model turned mogul has been fiercely protective.
Case in point with her son York.
The fashion icon and photographer boyfriend Erik Asla welcomed the youngster (who is biologically theirs) in January 2016 via a surrogate.
In the time since, she’s bounced back into work – returning to America’s Next Top Model, joining America’s Got Talent, and producing ‘Life Size 2.’
However, breaking protocol, Banks shared the first picture of her 18th month old to mark the Father’s Day festivities.
Playfully writing the photo’s caption as her son, she posted the following message:
To all the amazing daddies out there that love their kids unconditionally like my mommy’s daddy and my daddy, too…HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
-York?
Adorable!
Here’s the proud parents…

The baby looks very ambiguous, his genes have no preference for either parent ?
He has Tyra’s forehead and original nose. He has the dads eyes. However a baby 1.5 years old should have a lot more hair.
He looks like a biracial black child. Nothing ambiguous at all.
Tyra’s gene’s are strong,..he looks just like her.
Maybe he will grow into his looks. At least he will be wealthy. Money Talks! #Adorable
He looks just like her. Perfect mix of both parents. Nothing ambiguous about him either regard to his parents. If you didn’t know his parents you’d probably be confused.
congratz, cute child.
Awww, God bless
Its weird, i see both of the parents in the baby
She better go ahead before they get overshadowed by Beyoncé and jay z’s twins
Doubt those twins will look this cute.
Um, no shade, but he’s not cute at all.
Tyra didn’t have that baby she adopted him with her boyfriend they are not even married
He’s not adopted. She had him via surrogacy. Both parents’ seed tho
