Congratulations are in order for Tyra Banks and her boyfriend, Erik Asla, who welcomed a baby boy to the world, and name him York. The new mom announced her excitement to the world via Instagram, saying how her new bundle of joy has her fingers and big eyes.
According to USA Today, Banks and Asla, the super model's Norwegian boyfriend, have been praying for the day that they could call themselves parents and thanks to a surrogate, that day has finally come. Banks shared an endearing message to her followers on Instagram, expressing her joy and gratitude to the woman who carried baby York as a surrogate, referring to her as an "angel of a woman."

Asla piggy-backed Banks' original Instagram post, adding his own words to it. He wrote: "Witnessing the dawn of life is quite possibly life's greatest gift."
Banks expressed her difficulty in conceiving during her time on the talk show Fab Life, where she was Executive Producer and also a co-host. People reported on how Banks and former co-host Chrissy Teigan shared their fertility struggles during an episode of the talk show in which Banks revealed how she had decided to not have children while she was younger in an effort to focus solely on her career. But, as time moved forward, conceiving wasn't as easy as she thought it would be.
"It's so funny when I was 23 years old, I used to tell myself, 'In three years, I'm going to have kids,'" the America's Next Top Model exec explained. "'Then I turned 24 [and said] in three years, I'm going to have kids.' Every single year I kept saying that. And then after a while it's like, 'Okay, now I want to.' And it's not so easy."
