The new mum gave her first interview since welcoming her darling son, York, back in January. Tyra chatted with E!News where she attended the Simply Stylist conference in Los Angeles.
Looking fierce in a fitted black jumpsuit teamed with smoky eyes and faux dreads, Tyra admitted parenting can be tiring.
“Some mornings you wake up, and you’re like, ‘Where am I? I don’t know what’s going on. And I know it’s not a good idea for me to drive right now because I did not sleep,'” she explained.
“So I balance that and his dad helps, and we go back and forth so that’s good.”
Looking fierce! Tyra rocked a fitted black jumpsuit teamed up with smoky eyes and faux dreads.
York’s dad and Tyra’s boyfriend, Erik Asla, has been a huge help to the 42-year-old, with the new mama adding, “Erik does about 40 percent diaper duty at night. So we’re almost fifty-fifty.”
The couple welcomed their little bundle of baby boy joy with help from a surrogate.
“The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here,” the model shared on Instagram with a photo of baby clothes.
“He’s got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik’s mouth and chin. As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world.”
While the new papa added, “Witnessing the dawn of life is possibly life’s greatest gift.”

The former supermodel dished about how motherhood has helped with her empire.
“Well, I’m on maternity leave right now, just taking a break,” she explained.
“I really now am empowering my team. I’m understanding delegation, understanding that I don’t have to do everything to make something successful,” she continued.
“I’m on maternity leave and Tyra Beauty is kickin’ butt!”
Motherhood has certainly not taken away any of Tyra’s signature sass!
