Tyra Banks and Erik Asla welcome 'miracle' son
Tyra Banks and boyfriend Erik Asla have welcomed their first child via surrogate.
The 42-year-old supermodel confirmed the happy news of baby York's arrival on Wednesday as she shared a photo of the newborn's pink and blue striped hospital hat.
She wrote: '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.
She told People in a statement on Wednesday: 'We are so excited for our new baby boy bundle of joy. The journey to now has not been an easy process, as I’ve shared before. But there was a beautiful bright light at the end of the tunnel for me and his father, Erik.
'As I gaze into the beautiful eyes of my son, I think about all the people who struggle with fertility or carrying a child and continue to pray for them every day. My hopes and dreams are filled with well wishes that they get to feel what my little treasure, York Banks Asla, feels like in my arms.'
Last September Tyra broke down in tears on her recently cancelled FABLife television show as she hit out at social media bullies who constantly demand to know why she has not had any children.
The star, who has had failed IVF treatments, made the emotional proclamation after Chrissy Teigen brought up the subject of her own fertility troubles.
Tyra said: 'I'm so tired of seeing on my social media, "why don't you have kids, why don't you have kids?" 'You don't know, you don't know what I'm going through. You have no idea.'
She then explained how she had been certain she would have a large family for her whole life, and was shocked when it did not turn out that way.
The America's Next Top Model host said: 'For a long time, it was so funny, I was 23-years-old, I used to tell myself "in three years I'm going to have kids."
'Then I turned 24, "in three years I'm going to have kids." Every single year I just kept saying that. And then after a while it's like, now I want to, it's not so easy.'
Tyra also spoke to People about her fertility struggles in September, and shared that she had undergone IVF procedures.
'I've had some not happy moments with that, very traumatic moments,' she said. 'It's difficult as you get older. It's not something that can just happen.'
She added: 'When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids. I'm like, "Damn, the clock is ticking!"
'Since I was 24, I used to say every year, "I will have kids in three years." I kept saying it over and over again. Because my business is very entrepreneurial. I'm not for hire, so I have to do everything. I kept trying to find that time for that to happen.'
Congrats to them

I agree. So many of us struggle and no one talks about it.
