"Wanna be on top?" Tyra Banks challenges wannabe models in the theme song for America 's Next Top Model. Surely, she has indeed been there and done that, but as clich as it may sound, she says that it is in fact quite lonely when you're at the pinnacle of success. She's been working non-stop for the past years, with America 's Next Top Model becoming a super hit reality series, and launching her career as a talk show host on her very own show, Tyra. But as the saying goes, fame has a price to pay, and in this case, her success has cost her some peace in her personal life. In an interview with Essence magazine, Tyra admitted, "I'd go to work and women would be crying in my arms on the talk show. But then I'd go home and put my key in my door and ... nothing: no friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I'm at work but so empty when I come home." Tyra also recently talked about wanting to adopt a child, but admits that she kind of placed that on her not-so-important list. She said, "After the talk show started, and I had [Americas Next] Top Model at the same time, it engulfed me so much that it dulled my maternal instinctâ€I hope that when I get more of a handle on my life it comes back." Although Tyra admits to being lonely, recent reports have linked her to 50-year-old investment banker John Utendahl, but as of now, it doesn't look like she has even the time to foster a romantic relationship due to her focus on her career. In response to rumors about Tyra moving to New York from Los Angeles to pursue the romantic relationship, she replied, "I'm very insulted by that rumor. I employ a lot of people; their livelihoods rest on my shows. The move to New York was a decision I made with my manager. It was not about a man." Catch more of Tyra Banks on Cycle 10 of America's Next Top Model, premiering on Wednesday, February 20 at 8/7c only on the CW.
