: Easy come, easy go. Two weeks ago, MediaTakeOut.com told you that talk show host Tyra Banks was all set to marry her longtime boyfriend, investment banker John Utendahl. Well it now looks like all wedding plans are being scrapped - and the two have put an end to their two year relationship.
MediaTakeOut.com sat down with a close friend of John's, and according to that person, John was the one who called for the split. The pal explained, "Tyra and John are from two different worlds. The closer they got, the more evident those differences became."
But according to John's pal, it was Tyra's intellect, or lack thereof, that was the biggest obstacle in their relationship. The pal told MediaTakeOut.com, "Tyra is not a big thinker ... you can probably have a decent conversation with her about makeup or shoes, but she's not fit to discuss anything much deeper than that ... That wasn't not going to work for John. He's the type of man that needs more than just a pretty face."
Tyra seems to be taking the separation all in stride. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that she's already moved on. Last week a tabloid reported that she spotted was canoodling with a "model-type guy" at a NYC club.
Developing...
And he wont have a problem replacing that azz either...I don't blam him a pretty face can only go so far you need some kinda intellect cause a man that can stimulate the mind as well as the body goes a long way!!! Not to say Tyra will have a problem replacing him but the ego that comes along with it may be her problem... [link to external website removed]
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a wedding being cancelled. Why??? well because when you're making plans to marry somebody, the first thing that comes to mind is that this is the person you're going to be with til death due you part. Second thing is do you think you've found your soul mate, and the third thing is do you love this person enough to make a commentmit to them and do you think you're ready for a lifelong commentmit. So maybe dude thought about certain things and decided marriage just wasn't the right way to go for him, it could also means he's not ready to make a commentmit to Tyra, and like mto said Tyra's probably not marriage material anyway and this is a business man who don't have time to be with somebody for life who can't even strike up a conversation about anything else besides, makeup and runways. So I'm happy it turned out the way it did and besides Tyra walked away without a broken heart, and her happiness. And so did he. God gives us signs to let us know when something is not right, it's just to bad we as humans let love and sex take over our minds.

Tyra can't seam to keep a man, what's up with that Tyra....
*****************
The bottom line is that at the end of the day Tyra is UGLY! Take off the make up and the lace front and she's a BALD alien. Some men dont wanna be with women who have to wrap their hair at night.. imagine going to bed with a supermodel at night and waking up to a skinny looking crackhead the next. Why yall think Chris Webber left her and she dont ever seem to have any relationships. Past the make up, hair and money... she's not really anyone's token wife. say what we want about kimora but at least she's more of a natural beauty than Tyra which is why Russell married her and Djmon is with her despite the kids because Kimora can rock no makeup and a track suit and still be bad. Tyra.... um.... NEXT!
lack of intellect? See this is what happens when you chase your dreams instead of getting your education people! It's all good to chase them but please get that education on the side, so you can have a fall back just in case you run into these "professor" type dudes that's looking for more than just beauty and body or perhaps that "dream" you were chasing didn't happen, you'll always have that education to take you to that next level.
But according to John's pal, it was Tyra's intellect, or lack thereof, that was the biggest obstacle in their relationship.

You mean to tell me they were together for 2 years and he is just realizing that she is "not a big thinker" GTFOH!
alot of yall are dumb it seems... All those she cant keep a man, how do yall know.. How often do we hear she has a boyfriend? not often at all. also we already know she is a stupid girl, so that sound false. From Runway to CEO and growing, where is dumb in all that.. Come on. Some things should just be common sense to alot of yall. This is False and sound dumb. If they broke up there understandable and who cares, but for him or yall to make like she is a dumb girl- that crazy. Dumb girls dont make BIG Business moves
Wow... I have to say that I saw this one coming, I have observed that when a guy knows that he wants you - HE is the one who will move to be closer to you!!! So, that was the clue which set a red flag for me. Other than that, Tyra seems to act like a bafoon on her show occassionally - I can see where the guy tried to hang in there until he couldn't take anymore... Oh well, hopefully you'll find true love someday, Tyra!
NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. TYRA IS A DUMB FAKE PERSON. SHE PRETENDS SHE'S INTELLIGENT BY COPYING OTHERS. SHE REALLY CORNY MOST OF THE TIME. I HATE HER TALK SHOW SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE IS THE HOST AND HER PERSONALITY SUCKS BIG TIME. SHE IS AS DEEP AS A PLATE, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW FLAT A PLATE IS. HER FAME AND SUCCESS COMES FROM THE PEOPLE WORKING FOR HER BEHIND THE SCENES. SHE IS AN IDIOT. THATS WHY SHE CAN'T KEEP A MAN. THEY GET BORED WITH HER ASS QUICKLY CAUSE SHE'S STUPID. I DON'T BLAME THIS MAN, RUN MAN, JUST RUN.
Ya'll some stupid people, anybody who thinks that TYRA isn't a big thinker and just a pretty face. HOW THE HELL do you think she's accomplished all that she has????? Modeling, HOSTING her own talk show, PRODUCING ANTM, that's no dummy doing all that! His azz look like he so anal he could back into a wall and suck out bricks! HE is the one who probably don't know how to have fun!
And what's worse, because she doesn't have a "man" doesn't make something wrong with her. She would be intimidating to ANY man, with all she's accomplished, especially a [EXPLETIVE] banker!! What's hard about numbers? They either add up or they don't -- not a lot of thinking required there, just a damn calculator! And lord knows there aren't that many men on her level, and those who are are cheaters (like most) -- perhaps she'd rather be alone than deal with some of these "sure to act a fool" [EXPLETIVE] that pass for black men!
IDIOTS, all of you who agreed with that "headline."
Tyra is STUPID? NOT!!!
The girls got 2 shows on TV dummies of MTO. She's the executive producer of both of them...gimme a damn break. She already said she wants to be the next Oprah. Her bank account proves otherwise. If anything she may not have a college degree....BUT SHE IS FIERCE BUSINESSWOMAN. That's why she is where she is....
That forehead ain't huge for nuttin....there's brains in there...
There are different smarts people! Some folks are street smart, some are book smart, some are both and some are neither but finding both in one person is not easy. I do believe Tyra is smart but as a banker, he may need someone more attuned to his world and can discuss stocks and [EXPLETIVE].
And Tyra doesn't strike me as a person who may enjoy talking about what goes on in the financial world.
This isn't a put down; that may just be his preference. However, it shouldn't have taken his dumb ass 2 years to realize that either!!!
@ mque I agree with you 100%, sometimes when a older man dates a younger women there are problems . He cannot relate to her age group. I know older men are set in their ways they want you all for themselves stay home and take care of them , trust me I know i married one 11 yrs older than me they are too controlling .
Tyra aint no genius now
Beyonce aint smart and she's rich. I mean look at Mike Vick.He wasnt too bright,but he made millions
You cant equate money to smarts Almost like comparing album sales to skill
Tyra is probably intelligent but believe me she hired a whole team of consultants to handle her finances and PR
She just took advantage of oppurtunities So she can be called uuuuuh Oppurtunist
OH!!!! HELL NO!!!
YOU KNOW I HAD TO GET AN OPPORTUNITIE TO DUMP ON TYRA.... IAM HER BIGGEST DIS-FAN.......... WELL...this aint even no surprise, if she was really engaged to this man? it was just a long bootie call...tyra im sorry but all the caked make up face eyes, tons of lip gloss, and an ok body... is not gonna get what todays business man is lookin for., your right she has no education other than, high school., she started modeling young., so and educated brother would bother with her... you notice she aint never been sited out with this man., or any other man... she is not a natural beauti, like alicia keys, gabrielle union, riahanna, beyonce as much as i hate to add beyonce., !!! but beyonce is a natural looking woman without makeup...tyra looks like a zombie wearing cooking flour.,with makeup on.,ugh!!! just ugly.. and she really think she look good...what ever!! she need to get a clue and sit down...cause oprah is the queen of talk shows, and unless she die., tyra will be another ricky lake show...canceled soon!!
I think she too in yo face for a man like that anyway he was TOO damn old for her. Tyra is like 31 right? but she is real young at heart and likes to have a lot of simple minded fun. He looks like ...oh yea n Tyra real HOOD, she hides it for the most part but she HOOD just like Kimora lmao I love them both!
what do you expect..hes a highly educated man..this girl barely finished high school..just because she speaks properly, does not mean shes educated..a lot of these models, actresses and singers seem like theyre polished but they have very limited education..he had nothing in common with Tyra..what can she really hold a conversation about besides fashion and lace front wigs? plus shes annoying as hell and is too self absorbed..a man of that stature needs more than a barbie doll on his arm
you dont have to be intelligent to build an empire like Tyra did..you need good agents, managers, accountants and lawyers..those are the people that help these celebs get deals and execute them..the celebs dont have to think, they just sign on the dotted line and collect the loot..they have other people who think for them..now Im sure Tyra knows the modeling and entertainment business, but Im not sure shes very educated about other matters that a man like him would be interested in
2 THINGS ONE MTO IS CRAZY TO BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT SHALLOW AND TWO WE (WELL SOME OF US) ARENT STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK SOMETHING THAT SHALLOW. NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ENTERTAINMENT YOUR IN IT'S A BUSINESS FIRST AND FOR TYRA TO HAVE HER OWN SHOW EXECUTIVE PRODUCE IT (ANTM) THEN DO THE SAME FOR HER TALK SHOW, THIS FEMALE IS S-M-A-R-T! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT A QUICK LEARNER. SHE'S AN ENTREPRENUER AND MTO WANTS US TO THINK SHE'S NOT INTELLIGENT OR BUSINESS MINDED?
DAM!
THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT HOW TRULY "DEGENERATIVE" MTO THINKS YOU GUYS ARE!
When a couple breaks up, why are the prevalent views "she must not be breaking him off proper", or "she must not give head right"? The one that puzzles me most is "she can't keep a man"...I'd rather drop 10 wrong ones, and wait on Mr. Right, than end up married to someone I tried to sneak every chance I got.
I definitely cannot roll with that. Tyra has made it as a TOP model, a creater and lead producer of a hit syndicated show as well as a talk show..... something about all that sceams Independent. Maybe her b/f couldn't handle all that woman! Wouldnt be surprised to see him with some subservient type. Men like that 'ooh daddy you top dog' mentality. Tyra aint that. Guaranteed.
whatever MTO...she smart enough to continue growing her wealth by expanding in her trade, and she definately seems concerned with human interests, I think she would have plenty to talk about in any conversation. Bottom line is alot of men are intimidation by powerful women, namely black men, so she just needs to broaden her horizons. They say this same bull about Halle Berry because of several failed relationship. Any may would be lucky to have Tyra and a damn fool if he let her go.
I couldn't agree with you more gigi2007. I never understood why people think that these entertainers are so smart because of the empire that they have. Their empires is set up for them by agents, managers, lawyers etc. Without these key people their empires would crumble because most of them are not educated. The only reason why some of them sound educated is because their PR rep tells them what to do and say when they are at a celebrity function, on TV, or on the radio. People need to stop looking at these uneducated entertainers like they are Gods and Goddesses. What we need to do is encourage people the African American Youth to look up to the educated elite because America's worst nightmare is an educated black person. John Utendahl is the founder and owner of Utendahl group which is the LARGEST African American owned investment banking organization in the US. He also has a Bachelors degree and an MBA. This is the type of person we should give accolades to. Tyra is only educated about modeling and entertainment not the business or legal side of the entertainment business so she holds no real power. All she does is sign the documents and in return she gets paid. Furthermore, Tyra is probably not be that pretty without her makeup, girdle, and lace front. In fact, there was an episode of ANTM where she showed a picture of herself without makeup and with makeup and it looked like 2 totally different people. The US really does make celebrities seem like they are the end all be all.

yes yes yes..SPEAK ON IT. You don't need a degree from a fancy university to be rich and successful. But, I doubt Tyra is that dumb. She may not know everything but who does, right? LOl @ MTO for making stories up!
If this is true MTO, could you blame him. Tyra may or maynot have a clue when it comes to business, but this is a different kind of man. More than likely he wants a woman who can carry a converation about world issues. This man is a very wealthy financier and would travel and associate in those environments. Let's face hit, Tyra isn't very well rounded in this area. She may have a hit T.V. show, however look at the audience. Does it seem like their very interested or interesting when it comes to an intelligent discussion about world events. Guess he doesn't have time to comfort her if she loses or gains a few extra pounds, then take weeks to get over it. This man's business requires him to be all over the world and believe it not, people want to be represented by more than just a weave wearing, girlish body image possesed, knuckle head. Sure she may be seen with another man, however,their aren't too many men who can compare to this man's strength, abilities and know acknowledgement of world affairs. If the lace front will allow it, keep your head up Tyra.
TYRA IS A STUPID BITCH WHO IS SMART ENOUGH TO SURROUND HERSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO WORK ON HER BEHALF AND SHE TAKES THE CREDIT. SHE IS CORNY AND FAKE. SHE CAN'T KEEP A MAN TO SAVE HER LIFE CAUSE SHE IS FAKE, AND ONCE THEY GET TO KNOW HOW DUMB AND STUPID AND JUVENILE SHE IS, THEY FLEE FROM HER LIKE THE PLAGUE. SHE IS SHALLOW AND INSECURE. NO MAN LIKES THAT. SHE IS NOT DEEP AT ALL. DUMB FAKE BITCH
I WAS JUST READING SOME OF THE BLURBS ON HERE AND YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID. TYRA DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SMART TO MAKE ALL THAT MONEY. TYRA NEVER DID A TALK SHOW IN HER LIFE. HER TEAMS MAKES THE DECISIONS AND BRINGS THEM TO HER TO APPROVE. SOMEONE ELSE DRESSES HER, DOES HER MAKEUP, CALL THE GUESTS FOR THE SHOW, PRODUCE THE SHOW, EVERYTHING. SHE DOES NOTHING BUT BE INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE DECISION MAKING AFTER SOME OTHER WORKER HAS DONE ALL THE GRIME WORK, AND SHE SITS HER ASS DOWN AND MODERATES THE SHOW. WHOOP DE DO, HOW HARD IS THAT. BEYONCE IS DUMB AS A BOX OF FREAKIN ROCKS, SHE DOES NOTHING ON HER OWN. JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER CELEBRITIES YOU DUMB BUNCH OF PEOPLE THINK ARE SMART. LOL. THERE ARE SOME NOT SO BRIGHT PEOPLE ON HERE. REMEMBER THE CELEBRITY IS JUST THE SELLING POINT. THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE BEHIND THE SCENE DOING ALL THE DAMN WORK.
YOU KNOW I REALLY HATE TO TALK ABOUT PPL BUT THIS THREAD SHOWS JUST WHY I DONT VISIT THIS SITE MUCH. HOW STUPID AND JUVENILE AND LOW IQ FOR ANYONE, ANY-ONE TO THINK A NON-INTELLIGENT PERSON CAN CREATE THEIR OWN BUSINESS IN THE US AND THAT BUSINESS BECOMES SUCESSFUL AND HOUSEHOLD NAMES.
DAM!
NO WONDER SOME OF YALL DONT HAVE JOBS AND POST ON HERE ALL DAY!
BUT CAN CALL OTHERS WHO ARE SUCESSFUL AT 90% OF THE THINGS THEY PUT THEIR HANDS ON, STUPID?
NO WONDER WHITE PPL THINK WE ARE "SPECIAL"
* special azzes *
IMO it seem like Tyra is ASEXUAL, I cant see her getting her freak on, as a matter of fact its nothing freaky about her even on top model she seems goofy and prudish like she wouldn't know what to do with a penis if it came near her. She always has shows on SEX because she needs help. Trust me on this! Same for Oprah I cant see her gettin her swerve on either.
Is that Sin-Bad's daddy?....Tyra must be something crazy; she can never keep a man. And i remember seeing her way tooooo many times throughou the past two years crying about not wanting to be lonely and her search for a man. So if he left her it's probably because she done lost her mind somewhere between the Tyra Show and ANTM. If she already had a man why did she anounce her launch to find a man. Tyra get off the Phen-Phen!
Okay..for a man to call it off with Tyra has to be Gay or seeing a white women..Bedsides he's an Investment Banker..so he's a Uncle Tom that only likes to play golf with his clients!! I'm in the Banking Industry and that's all they freaking do..Marry their white Executive Assistant or just marry another blonde chick..or he can just be flat out gay!!!!!
he's in idiot!!! i know plenty of intellectually strong women who can't pull of what Tyra has accomplished, and they look a hot mess. Tyra's got it all and any man with good sense would know this, and jump at a chance to be with her. he looks a little sweet to me, maybe he just couldn't deny his real feelings any longer.
I'm back up in this mutha!!!! Hey yall : )
I dont believe this mess. Tyra has brains otherwise how in the hell she got the good sense to run and operate two television shows simultaneously. I think Tyra wanted to try some freaky deaky stuff and old boy just wasn't down. I know Tyra is into menage tois and bisexual behavior. HOW U DOIN MS TYRA!!!
