Tyra Banks dating photographer Asla

Retired supermodel Tyra Banks has finally identified the man in her life to end speculation she's dating rapper Drake.

Banks is often asked about her relationship with the Canadian after the stars enjoyed a Disneyland date, but she told Access Hollywood last year (13) that the rap star was too young for her, and she had moved on.

In the same interview she refused to name her current beau but now the mystery is over after Banks shared a snap of herself with photographer Erik Asla with fans online on Wednesday (15Jan14).

She tells Access Hollywood she's surprised the media didn't beat her to the big reveal, explaining, "The guy I’m dating is somebody I've been photographed with before."

Norwegian Asla was a former assistant to celebrated photographer Herb Ritts. He has worked on campaigns for Calvin Klein and Saks Fifth Avenue.
