*Tyra Banks has responded to rumors that she’s engaged to boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin.
The online chatter about her relationship status began after Banks, 46, was spotted out and about wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring in August.
But the former supermodel attempted to curb the speculation on Wednesday by making clear it was not a diamond engagement ring.
“They’re talking about the ring … The ring is a crab. It’s shaped like a crab … and it’s an opal, not a diamond,” said Banks in an interview with Tamron Hall. “It is not a crab opal engagement ring. It is just a ring.”
She added that it’s “annoying” that the press thought a crab ring was an engagement ring. “The press gets it right sometimes but a lot of times they’re bored,” she said.

Meanwhile, Banks admits she “messed up” during her second week hosting “Dancing With the Stars.”
“I hosted the second episode of Dancing with the Stars … and yeah, it wasn’t perfect,” she said in a TikTok video after Tuesday’s episode of the hit ABC competition series. ”Yeah, I had a lot of fun but I messed up, I said the wrong words, but I kept, kept going.”
Banks compared it to contestant Skai Jackson nearly falling during her Samba with partner Alan Bersten.
“She got back up and she kept going, and because of that she’s here for another week,” the host said. “So the message is: I messed up this week, Skai messed up this week, but we’re gonna keep on going and going. Forgive yourself when you mess up and keep going.”
