โ€œWeโ€™ll get some breakfast in the mall, then weโ€™ll go to a Hoyts cinema,โ€ said the supermodel.

โ€œWeโ€™ll get some ice cream at the cinema, see a movie, then we might get a foot massage. Then weโ€™ll have some lunchโ€ฆ Then we go to Target or Kmart.โ€

Sounds like the Aussie dream, right?

Tyra shared her additional Aussie supermarket favourites commenting, โ€œWeโ€™ll do Coles, Woolies, Harris Farm, whatever, and so that is a whole day at the mall and we donโ€™t do that in America.โ€

In 2005, Tyra stopped modelling at the age of 32, but returned to the recent 2024 Victoriaโ€™s Secret Fashion Show.

โ€œIn the past, I would walk for myself, but this time, it wasnโ€™t just about me. I felt like I had every woman especially women over 50, women who are insecure walking with me,โ€ Tyra shared on the Drew Barrymore show.

โ€œI felt like a vessel. It was about representing all of them,โ€ she added.

On top of her business ventures and her busy schedule, Tyra is also a busy mother of York Banks Asla, 9, shared with her former partner Erik Asla.

The model welcomed her son into the world via surrogate in 2016 and whilst her son is spoken of in interviews he is kept private online.

Tyra and Erik split when York was a little older than a year old, however, they continued to work together and have been co-parenting their child.

Tyra is set to open her first Smize & Dream store in Darling Harbour by midyear, so we can imagine seeing a lot more of the supermodel around.

The opening date of the ice cream store is yet to be announced but we can expect it to be popular with her website stating, โ€œMy Mama Carolyn taught me to dream big, but WOW. This is Major.โ€

Major it will beโ€ฆ and delicious!
