Tyra Banks' mystery boyfriend — you know, the one that inspired her to move the production of both of her shows to the Big Apple — has been revealed. And he's….an investment banker. Boring! Well, boring but stable, rich and successful. And we all know the flashier types never work for her. Still, I can't imagine how she's going to look going to his conservative industry events with her 50 lb lacefront and drag queen eyelashes.
The guy, according to the NYDN, is John Utendahl, he's 6'3, and he is the CEO of Utendahl Capital Partners. A little googling on my end produced a picture and bio from Crain's 1993 40 under 40 list, written when he was 36. Now, he should be about 50, which is probably just the right age one would need to be to successfully couple with Tyra.

Boo. Tyra needs to do a Demi or a Halle and get herself a younger pretty-boy model type. How old is Tyson? Tyra is cuter than Foxy Brown and less…rough around the edges. He can be an i-banker. I actually like them, but make it one who's 25 and could be a model.
I'm hoping he is divorced… says he is married!
Investment bankers are the !@#$%^ bomb.
*sideways eye to make sure bf is NOWHERE around*
For a couple of years I messed around with one who worked for Bear Sterns. He was not conservative, stuffy or any of that. Where was he with the ring???? But you don't hear me though! Get that shit, Tyra!! Although I agree with Daria, younger would have been better, but I'm sure he has bank b/c they do very, very well. Wonder if this is gonna last with them? Hope so!
As I already commented on Bossip…
GET IT TYRA!!
Girlfriend got her a professional man. I'd move too if I met someone that was educated and smart and had a good job.
[...] She flew relatively under the radar in LA, mainly because the paps have bigger (or should I say, smaller and whiter?) fish to fry, like Paris, Lindsay, Hilary, Nicole, Hayden, etc. But the NY press seems inordinately excited about Tyra's arrival. There goes her privacy — and John Utendahl's. [...]
