Tyra Banks, 49, says she is leaving her hosting duties at Dancing With The Stars after three seasons as she wants to focus on her businesses

Tyra Banks says she will be leaving her high-profile TV job soon.

The model told TMZ on Thursday that she wants to exit her hosting duties for the hit Disney+ competition show Dancing With The Stars.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model – who glowed during Paris Fashion Week – told the site that she would like more time to focus on her many businesses. 

The model replaced Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews as host of Dancing with the Stars during the show’s season 29 in 2020. 

The site talked to Banks when she was leaving Whole Foods market in Santa Monica, California.

She had the job three years: The model replaced Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews as host of Dancing with the Stars during the show’s season 29 in 2020

‘I feel it’s really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes,’ she remarked to the site.

‘I think it’s time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor. … from the ballroom to the boardroom!’

When asked if she was really leaving the hit dance show she asked a question.

‘Don’t you think it’s time? Yeah, I think it’s time,’ she said.

Then she explained: ‘I’m an entrepreneur at heart.

‘I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it’s also into producing new TV,’ she said; she is also a producer on DWTS.

‘But, I really, really want to focus on my business, and you can’t do that hosting a show.’

She recently launched her SMiZE & Dream ice cream internationally. And she wants to open it in the US.

Her earlier credits are America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show.

The Compton, California native has had a robust career that has included walking the Chanel runway, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and walking for Victoria’s Secret.

She was last seen in January at Paris Fashion week during  the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall/Winter 2023 event.

Tyra was with her boyfriend, Louis Belanger-Martin.

The TV personality uploaded one selfie as she stared straight at the camera with a hand lightly cradling the side of her face in a classic pose. 

Her long locks were styled into two separate braids that fell down in front of her from a braided crown on top of her head.

Tyra donned a simple black top with thick, spaghetti straps as she began to wind down in her hotel room for the night after hosting the Kid Super stand-up comedy runway show earlier Saturday. 

The Coyote Ugly actress penned a detailed caption to her fans, and questioned, ‘Do you ever do something really great and amazing and then get home and take your clothes off and then take pictures of your make up and hair after you’ve had dinner and your lipstick is looking crazy while in #Paris?’ 

She then explained the selfies by typing out, ‘Well, this is me here,’ and admitted, ‘I did something I never did before.’ 

‘I hosted a comedy show/men’s fashion show – wassup @kidsuper!!! – and the amazing designer @colm had me change clothes 10 times!’ 

Back to Paris: Tyra also attended the Louis Vuitton runway show held last week on Thursday, and reminisced on her days of modeling when she was a ‘teenager’
