Here's a recent picture of Tyra Banks in a bikini. It looks like the rumors are true. She has gained a lot of weight, though she is still relatively slim, except by supermodel standards.

Banks retired from modeling last year. She no longer feels pressure to maintain an ultra-thin body. She has moved on to using her smarts instead of her body in the next stages of her incredibly successful business career.
