Tyra Banks Dating Fifty Year Old New York Businessman John Utendahl

July 25th, 2007 · 13 Comments · Tagged as Tyra Banks

Celebrity tattle Flo Anthony tells us that Tyra Banks had more in mind than just a change of scenery when she packed up her Tyra talk show along with ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and headed left Los Angeles for the Big Apple. The former catwalk maven is reportedly dating NYC-based businessman John Utendahl. The new couple spent all weekend nestled up together in the posh Hamptons. Ty decided to head back East after making things official with John earlier this year.

John is the head of Utendahl Capital Partners LP, the largest African American-owned investment bank in America. He made Wall Street history by launching the first minority-owned firm that did not specialize in municipal bonds.

    Good for Tyra, he’s a bit older but that’s ok. I was starting to worry about her. It’s hard to find a great guy especially in the industry. Plus most of them are short lol. Am happy for her.

    Kudos for Tyra! So what the man is older than her! She probably is need for a much more mature man. He’s a business man, she’s a business woman. I just hope she eventually finds a man that is able to complete her. In her line of business, it has to be difficult to find someone that’s on the same level as you or find someone that doesn’t want anything from you.

    Yeah, “Don’t say it so low ’cause you want to make the people hear yourself:” - James Brown, Escapism. [Calvin’s not in Toronto anymore; he currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario]; peace off.

    Tyra Banks actually moved into New York City because of Calvin Peabody, who was spoted walking around Manhattan a couple of years ago. He hasn’t spoken to her for quite a while; however, she thought to make all reservations to reconcile by moving closer to him [who lives in Ottawa, Ontario], so that he would visit her show anywhen he’d pass by NYC. Yeah, he did have a big chrsh on Tyra as well; now it is sadden to hear for sure that she has differ from the standard the have in common: The both were menat tp be Stars; the both are 5 feet 11 inches; the both are very nice looking; the both love to dress up flashy; the both are attractive and attracted by many; the both have clean records [the both are the exact complexion]. Goodbye Tyra, I have to say; if that’s what you want, may the Lord be with you.
