Tyra Wants to be a Mommy
Posted by Bossip Staff
Tyra recently announced that she is planning to adopt a baby in the near future:
“I’ve wanted to adopt since I was nine. I have a connection with children and they don’t have to come from my womb for me to have that connection.”
It seems like babies are the newest fashion accessory. Tyra should work on finding a father figure for this kid, and we don’t mean Ms. Jay.
Let hope that she doesn’t treat that baby like her employees by feeding it McDonald’s.

WHAT IS SHE GOING TO TEACH A CHILD? HOW TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY INSECURE AND HOW TO ROCK A LACE FRONT?
Tyra must be dyking nowadays or can’t find a man, what’s up with that shit? She may really have some issues, I’ve watched her show a coupla time and I don’t see what all the fuss is about. But adopting? She may also have some plumbing issues but I hope she don’t. This is semi fucked up.
Well if a baby is an accessory, so is a white man. Tyra might as well try “something new”
@ MistyBlue, haha, she may be a good mother and for every woman who done ever let a nigga bust one inside them, there was no I hope she’s a good mother b.s.
the only thing i wanted to do when i was 9 is roller skate and eat ice cream….B*&CH is dellusional
She is really stunning.. She looks so hot in that pictures. BTW, have u guys seen her on a millionaire site ‘Meet Rich,com’? I heard of this around some famous gossip sites.
@ Mo’Ree
aaaahahaha…OK for real!
Since she was 9? WTF? Come on TyTy stop lying. You just following everybody else.
Now, Kim is pretty – but most “other” sisters CANNOT hold a candle to my black sisters. We are so beautiful – NOW if we just start to believe that then we won’t care who a single black man bangs – who cares… We know we are loved and deeply appreciated!!
Tyra crazy we know – but she is so stunning look at that bone structure.
(they gonna let you have a kid Tyra for the reals??!! oh boy)
ANYWAY! LET ME CLEAR THE ROOM..WITH ALL OF THE HATING!
1ST) WHY DOES SHE HAVE A MAN, JUST TO ADOPT A KID??
2ND) I THINK THAT SHE WILL BE A GOOD MOTHER!
3RD) SOMETIMES..TYRA LET HER GUARD DOWN, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT SHE IS TRULY A HOOD PERSON! WHAT I MEAN BY HOOD IS, SHE ACT LIKE ME, AND ANOTHER HOOD(COOL) PERSON CAN SEE THAT!
4TH) {{{{{{STOP HATING!}}}}}}
I think that she should focus on herself first rather than “trying” to adopt. I catch her shows every now and then and I believe she’s crazy. She needs to work on that and herself and the bad advice she gives to those top model contestants.
I think adoption is GREAT but not with her. Pubically she is a mess so how do you think she is behind closed doors. I know their are a lot of people who are far worse than her but let’s just stop before we add another child as a “lost cause” due to poor parenting. But on the flip side, who knows, a baby will ground her ass (if she doesn’t hire a nanny). She needs some reality. Actually, she needs to birth the child so she can feel labor pains and shut the hell up about why she cries every night. After that, bitch wont say shit.
Tyra,
Listen to me. I have my own adopted kids and I know you. YO ASS IS NOT READY FOR NO DAMN CHILE. You need to do a whole lot more maturing and growing first. 1st rule of being a mother is to be totally and entirely SELFLESS. And that you aint. You way too into yourself and that growing empire of yours to share your world wid anyone so do you for now.
(buy my album Growing Pains for more advice. In stores now yall!!!!!!)
looks up thank you. She is too selfish. It’s not hating. It’s a fact.
after reading this, now i’m starting to wonder if she really is gay. regardless, tyra is STUNNING!! and you gotta give her props. she using ‘top model’ to put on as many sisters as she can. if you notice, the sisters who didn’t win STILL got jobs in the industry, (toccara, yaya, etc.), and i’m sure tyra had something to do with that. Tyra is the bomb, and she is the closest thing to becoming the next oprah.
y’all need to stop hating on tyra. she’s doing far more to change the perceptions and stereoytypes of black supermodels, supermodels IN GENERAL, than any other model out there. naomi campbell is a washed up cokehead, beverly peele is nowhere to be found, and that ugly ass trannie janice dickinson is starting to hate on tyra too. tyra is using her brains, and if she keeps doing what she’s doing, she WILL be the next Oprah.
even if she is Gay…SO! what is your point??
and how can the same people that say..” you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors” say “that she is selfish, and isn’t ready for a kid??” Do any of you know her personally? How can you say that this woman need to grow up?? grow up to where?? she is 36..maybe, she feel that is it time..to adopt her a kid! MORE POWER TO YOU/HER!
does no one think that children deserve a mother AND father in the home? Why would anyone on purpose want to do that to a child?
It’s different in the case of divorce, or some similar situation but can these stupid people (especially celebrities) who have no time for children anyway stop collecting kids like they little ornaments.
If this dummy wants to have a special connection to a child, can’t she just be a mentor?
Um well it’s good that she wants to adopt cuz there are alot of kids in the system but i just hope she doesn’t get a boy. For some reason she can’t keep men in her life and she could be a tad bit bitter.
N-Qui-Sa-Tive gget outta my head girl. GET OUT lol
i’m glad i aint the only one who can see that Tyra “Lemme tell yall bout this one time when I was modelling” Banks aint ready for another being to take more attention than her. But i think if she gets her shit together she would actually make a great mom
@ Ms. Sugar Walls
Well usually people don’t tend to act crazy until they are at home away from the cameras. But she is willing to show that on camera. And as much of a fan of Tyra as you are, you should know that she talks about herself ALL the time. I don’t have to know her personally if she is broadcasting herself as insane on her show.
Taking time to get to know yourself is not only better for you but for a child. When you are confessing your feelings and “crying” on air it doesn’t make you real. Sometimes it comes off as you just trying. Please listening to her, you can tell she is still trying to find herself.
But like I said earlier, she needs to attempt to brith the child naturally so she will stop the faking.
I agree MJB. WHEN she gets her shit together.
Ya know, she should adopt if that what she wants to do…even if she is single. I’m sure foster kids would rather have ONE parent than NONE. And since she is so financially stable, she’s be a great provider. Okay, she overacts a bit much on her show and needs to bring it down a notch or two, but she seems warm and caring (thinking about her camp for teen girls) and probably would be a great mom.
poor child
TYRA BANKS IS A TRANSEXUAL
CHRIS BROWN OR NEYO WOULD HAPPILY NUT IN HER AND GIVE A KID, THE PROBLEM IS SHE HAS A DICK
U CAN TELL BY HER WIGS, AND NOW A MILLIONAIRE,WHO HAS TO ADOPT A CHILD, SHE TALKS ALL THIS HOT MESS ABOUT HAVING A INDEPENDENT MAN, FOR WHAT?
WHY CANT THAT MAN GIVE U KIDS?
OR SHIT IF U WANT TO BE PART OF A CHILDS LIFE, IM SURE WHOEVER YOU ARE DATING HAS A KID, BITCH BE A STEP MOM, OR STEP-MAN
AND CIARA AND WITH 50 CENT, HE BOUGHT HER THAT CAR, JUST TO HIT ONE NIGHT,
There are so many hateful, stupid people posting on this site. You’re not funny, interesting, or witty. You need to give it a rest. I think Tyra is great and I hope she does adopt a child. There are so many kids who need a good home. Get a life losers!
I’m fertile as a mofo. I’m willing to bust as many nuts as needed up in Tyra to get her preggers. I try to help when I can:)
I think you truly haven’t lived life until you’ve had children. I don’t mind her adopting kids, I just wish she would get married and have kids like a normal person.
I think Tyra’s a little nuts, but maybe a kid will be good for her – look what Maddox did for Angie Jolie!
I believe her about wanting to adopt since 9 – I went to school with adopted kids (like I’m sure all you did), so I’ve been thinking about adoption since I was a runt, too.
Is she gay? I doubt it. Have you seen her show? She holds NOTHING back (I don’t mean that in a good way.)
^^^Since she was 9? WTF? Come on TyTy stop lying. You just following everybody else.
—–
exactly… being “preggers”/finding some kids to accesorize with IS the current thing in Hollywood!
Tyra…get some whose skin color matches ur eyes! THAT would be fierce!!!
oh gawd no!!! People stop it. For real, somebody save all this kids!
lol…I can just see Tyra adopting a teen girl to help her with bra shopping lol
and NO I’m not insinuating that she’s a pedofile….just a boob-a-file. lol, smh.
But seriously, I don’t know if she’s ready for a child of her own, but I do think whatever child she decides to adopt will have fun with her
Tyra is just following a national trend. There was a Newsweek article out a few weeks ago about how the upper middle class and rich are having more children again and more wealthy, single women are adopting than ever before.
Angie…I’ve noticed that too, why is that cute? That is nothing to play with…that’s a child, a living human, not some teacup/toy poodle you can fit in a bag and send it to the SPCA when you’re tired of him/her! lol
@ my comment, that’s in reference to the women who want children because they’re just ‘in the mood’ for one lol
There is nothing to indicate that these women won’t love the children. The majority of women are doing it because in many social circles it is considered ghetto or low to have a baby out of wedlock, but admirable to adopt a baby without being married. This is a good alternative for women like Tyra, who has a lot of millions in her little empire. She won’t have to deal with child support or other nonesense that she would with a natural child’s father. The love for the baby is the same.
I would prefer her to find a father figure for this child 1st. Until then, stay child free.
Just to clarify, I was referring ONLY to women who adopt or have children as an accessory…
Good wishes to
Ms. Banks if she’s sincere. One question, though; where is she going to get this child? Fashionable sorts don’t really adopt American, do they? The usual European sources aren’t likely (can you imagine the Russians or Poles or Albanians letting a black person, no matter how fabulous, walk off with one of their surplus babies?). And Africa seems to be wrapped up by celebrities with more clout. Maybe she should have done this a while ago. The ground seems a bit picked over now.
I agree with many of the other comments. It seems like Tyra is following everyone else. Other celebs are getting babies so now she wants one too. Monkey See monkey Do.
@ BONES
@ MistyBlue, haha, she may be a good mother and for every woman who done ever let a nigga bust one inside them, there was no I hope she’s a good mother b.s……
ALTHOUGH THAT IS TRUE. ITS THE SAME IRRESPONSIBILITY INVOLVED. WHETHER ADOPTING OR UNPLANNED PREGNANCY, IF YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT AT A STATE WHERE YOURE MENTALLY CAPABLE OF RAISING A CHILD THATS UNFAIR TO THE LITTLE ONE. MOST PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT FINANCES, OBVIOUSLY THATS NOT A PROBLEM FOR TYRA. BUT IM JUST TIRED OF THESE CELEBS THINKING THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE MONEY, THATS ALL THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER A CHILD.
PS. “I WANTED TO ADOPT SINCE I WAS 9″ … CMON NOW WITH THAT BULLSHIT. AT THE AGE OF 9, UNLESS YOU MOTHER TERESA I DONT THINK YOU TRIPPIN OFF HOW YOU CAN BETTER THE PLIGHT OF THE UNDERPRIVELAGED. SHE FULL OF SHIT TOO. TYRA DONT KNOW IF SHE WANNA BE FAKE OR REAL. SOMETIMES SHE DOES COME OFF AS GENUINE, THEN OTHER TIMES SHE SAY SOME CORNY ASS “HOLLYWOOD” SHIT THAT ANNOYS ME.
@Rebel78
THANK YOU! Yes, adoption is a wonderful thing, but children need a mother AND A FATHER in the home. I hope she is taking it seriously and not as an accessory. She does seem to have a shitload of issues that she may want to work out before she screws up the head of an innocent child. But hell, we all have issues. For real though, no matter how much money she has, she needs to get married before the children thing.
Good for her. I wouldn’t let her babysit my cousins or anything, but…
The problem is she is making 30 million a year and has priced herself out of the market.
Hell, tat happensto many sisters making 6 figures. She needs some triflin ghetto dick or a proven breeder like B. Brown.
Maybe they could bleach his lips back to brown.
Wow, what a stunner! Glad to hear she’s willing to welcome a child into her home. Many women are pursuing that route, and I support them; why should motherhood be confined to married women? There is a serious need to place children – expecially Black children – into loving homes, and if Banks WANTS a child then I’m definitely in favor of her receiving one. Regardless of her challenges, she’s far better suited to care for a child than women who regard their children as mistakes..
These vapid, self absorbed celebs need to stop!! a child is not the latest fashion accessory. why do they continue to give children to these idiots. I don’t care how much money they have. we are going to have a lot of future paris, lindsy and brittany running around. ( no I did not put their names in caps they are fucks up in society)her adopting a child is a Jesus take the wheel.
Tyra looks like a beautiful swan in this pic, but really…if she wants to be mother so badly why hasn’t she found a good man to marry and have a family with???
correction:
if she wants to be *a* mother
marry *then* have a family with.

**********************************
I was watching one of those gossip shows and they were asking celebs on the red carpet about a celeb (a single woman, can’t remember who) who had just adopted. One response was (paraphrasing) “That’s so sweet! After a long day, she needs something to cuddle up to when she gets home.” WTF??? Can’t you get a dog for that? Or maybe, start with a cactus and work your way up.
I absolutely agree with NubianGoddez!
It’s a disgrace the way that these celebs use thse kids as a way to be fashionable.
Also, why is it that you constantly see white couples adopting black kids, but you NEVER see where black couples have been allowed to adopt white kids?
Or am I just trippin’?
Tyra, I’ll help you have a child the old fashioned way. Call me!
this will be very very intersting….
did she HAVE to give then a Xmas bonus?
BOssip will always find a reason to talk about a sistah.
I am all for adoption, and tyra would make a very dedicated and fun mom. But when you are as beautiful as her, it would be a shame if she did not pass those genes on to another generation.
She should get Tyson Beckford drunk and have her way with him (if he is gay we are talking A LOT of alcohol) now THAT would be a designer baby if you ask me
Adoption does not have to be about someone not being able to get a man.
I commend Tyra. Maybe if more black people adopted the system wouldn’t be clogged full of brown babies.
But seriously, adoption is a good idea. One of my co-workers adopted a kid from India (his native country) rather than have another child. More black people should adopt some of the black kids caught in the system.
she is so beautiful. every time i signed in CelebMingle.com and there were always
many men talking about her how sexy and pretty … you know it is a site
Good for her and I think she would make a great mom. She would have a lot of love to give a child, so you guys need to stop hating on this beautiful black sister. Go Tyra, do your thing.
Good for her!
I wish her luck.
She needs to work on herself first!! I don’t think she’s ready!!!
People kill me saying she’s not ready?
Do you know her personally? How would you know that information?
*Anyway, she’s absolutely stunning in that photo.
*I wil lsay that adopting a child is WONDERFUL, however every child deserves a father figure in their lives as well. Hopefully she’ll take that into consideration.
*And I will be adopting as well. Not want to fuck up my perfect body! lol
Tyra is a mess, lol… that girl got ISSUES up the ass… She don’t want to gain the weight that comes along with having a kid the natural way… but I would like to see her with kids. Good luck to her.
Look tyra it is nice that you want to adopy,But why wont you just have your own off spring? I mean you would feel closer to your own child.I know that you might not have time to do that,but at least try. At least try to have your own child before you adpot. I mean if she just adpot will that child have a father around while she is working? I say that she needs to find somebody and have a child togther. All I am saying is that she just needs a little more time to find that SOME ONE that is all then they can have THEIR OWN KIDS NOT ADOPTING.But if she wants to adopt I am not against her not at all.Tyra just try to have one of your own> I hope that you read my letter. My name is Bria I am 16 years old.
I think tyra can’t have kids cause she had this weird connection where noone sees her in with beyonce chilling out at the gay bar. so wtf tyra
What if tyra was on this movie called bring it on all or nothing and she said ” look at me I am a great cheer” she will be like go pirats! with britney and cammile. oh and somthing els she would have to performe for rihanna and be in her music video which is pond de replay and she would be shake her ass in it. also chris crocker thretened her on ANTM during the elimanation wow lolz.
