Tyra Banks Has a New Bali Boo

January 17th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

Tyra Banks really is following the journey of the book Eat, Pray, Love. She was said to be going on a similar spiritual voyage when she headed East following her breakup with boyfriend John Utendahl, but now reports that she picked up a new man along the way suggest she really did follow in the footsteps of author Elizabeth Gilbert.

A source told PEOPLE that Tyra met her new man in Bali and said: “It’s a total long-distance romance, but it’s a big deal.”

Tyra supposedly went to China right before the holidays to tape the latest season of “America’s Next Top Model,” and after flying back to New York, the source says she turned right around and flew back to Bali to spend the holidays with him.

A rep for Tyra didn’t confirm the details, but we hope she really found love in a hopeful place. Maybe a spiritual retreat was just what she needed to find the right man for her.

Do you think it’s a good idea for Tyra to start dating again already?

    She went over there to get over her man, and then got with a new one. I think her ‘Eat,Pray,Love’ focus is off.  The ‘Love’ referred to learning to love YOURSELF, not finding another guy. She’s nuts anyway.

    Yes of course!!! Why should she wait?? She wasn’t married to the dude and it’s not like she needs to wait a respectable time due to death!!!!! As the clock ticks, we forge ahead…

    *Sings in rihanna voice* ‘she found love in a hopeful place’

    Good for her.  She never had any type of chemistry with her ex-boyfriend if we can even call him that.  They never looked intimate or happy with one another.  They only looked good (attractive-wise) with one another and that’s just not enough for happiness or a lasting fulfilling relationship.  All the best 2u Tyra!
