There is no public confirmation that Tyra Banks and Gregory J. Hayes are dating, married, related, or involved in a significant business partnership. The two names have appeared together across a growing number of web pages, but that online pairing is not evidence of a real-world relationship.
There is also an identity wrinkle. “Greg Hayes” is not a unique name. In the recent pages pairing the two names, it generally refers to Gregory J. Hayes, the former chief executive of United Technologies and RTX. Other people share the name, so claims involving “Greg Hayes” need enough context to identify the correct person.
Banks and Hayes are best understood as two public figures with very different careers: Banks in modeling, television and entrepreneurship, and Hayes in corporate finance, aerospace and board governance.
Is there a documented relationship between Tyra Banks and Greg Hayes?
No established public record identifies Tyra Banks and Gregory J. Hayes as a couple, spouses, relatives or significant professional collaborators.
That does not prove they have never met or communicated privately. It simply means there is no basis for presenting a personal or business relationship between them as fact.
Some recent websites have gone further and published supposed relationship timelines involving the pair. One such page described meetings, travel and a breakup while referring vaguely to coverage from major entertainment publications. Those claims were not supported by verifiable underlying reports in the material examined, and the same page contained factual errors about Hayes’s education and career. That makes it unsuitable as evidence for a relationship story.
The distinction matters because a search phrase can make two names look connected even when the underlying biographies do not support that connection.
Who is Tyra Banks?
Tyra Banks, born December 4, 1973, built her public career first through modeling and later through television and business.
Her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit history captures an important part of that progression. She first appeared in the publication in 1993, shared its 1996 cover with Valeria Mazza, and in 1997 became the first Black woman to appear alone on the SI Swimsuit cover, according to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s retrospective on Banks.
Her television career became equally important to her public identity. Paramount credits Banks as the creator and an executive producer of America’s Next Top Model. Its official catalogue page lists the series as running from 2003 to 2018 across 24 seasons.
That program moved Banks beyond modeling into the role of television creator, host and producer. Rather than being known only for fashion campaigns and magazine covers, she became closely associated with a long-running reality-TV franchise built around the modeling industry.
Her television work continued well beyond America’s Next Top Model. In June 2026, Freeform announced that Banks would appear as a recurring judge on season 22 of Project Runway. The Freeform announcement placed her back in a fashion-competition format more than two decades after ANTM began.
Banks has also pursued business ventures outside television. By 2026, reporting on her current life centered partly on Australia and her ice-cream business.
Who is Gregory J. Hayes?
Gregory J. Hayes is a corporate executive whose career is most closely associated with United Technologies Corporation, or UTC, and its successor aerospace group, RTX.
Corporate records say Hayes joined UTC in 1999 through its merger with Sundstrand. That date is worth noting because some low-authority biography pages incorrectly give 1989. BD’s current Gregory J. Hayes biography supports the 1999 timeline.
Hayes served as UTC’s chief financial officer from 2008 to 2014, became chief executive in 2014 and later added the chairman role in 2016. His tenure coincided with major changes to the company’s structure, including the divestiture of Sikorsky, the acquisition of Rockwell Collins and the separation of Otis and Carrier.
In April 2020, UTC’s remaining aerospace businesses combined with Raytheon Company to form Raytheon Technologies, later renamed RTX. Hayes became one of the central executives of the combined company.
According to RTX’s leadership-transition announcement, Christopher Calio became CEO on May 2, 2024, while Hayes moved to executive chairman. Hayes then stepped down as executive chairman and from the RTX board effective April 30, 2025, remaining a special adviser through January 2, 2026.
So descriptions of Hayes as the current RTX CEO are outdated.
His public career has since moved further into board governance. Phillips 66 appointed him Lead Independent Director on May 13, 2026, according to the company’s appointment announcement. BD also lists him as a director.
Hayes is a Purdue alumnus, class of 1982. Sources differ over the exact wording of his undergraduate field, so the narrower description is the safer one.
Who has Tyra Banks been publicly reported to be with?
The most recent reputable relationship report identified in the available material is from February 17, 2026.
In a profile on Banks’s life and work, PEOPLE reported that she was living in Australia with her son and her partner, businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin, and said the pair had been dating since 2019.
That report is relevant because it shows what current entertainment coverage was actually saying about Banks’s personal life. It should not be treated as proof about every possible private interaction she has had, and relationship status can change over time.
What it does show is that reputable reporting did not identify Gregory J. Hayes as her partner.
Why do Tyra Banks and Greg Hayes appear together online?
The precise origin of the pairing is unclear.
By 2026, multiple websites had begun publishing pages built around the exact phrase “Tyra Banks and Greg Hayes.” Some framed the article as a career comparison. Others asked whether the two were connected. A few went further and presented unsupported personal narratives.
The existence of many such pages can make the pairing appear more established than it is. Repetition across low-authority websites, however, is not the same as independent confirmation. If several sites recycle an association without producing a joint interview, public appearance, company record, direct statement or reliable report, the number of pages does not strengthen the underlying claim.
The stronger records tell two separate stories. Banks’s public career is documented through modeling, television and entrepreneurship. Hayes’s career is documented through corporate finance, aerospace leadership and board service.
What is current for both of them?
As of September 2026, Banks remained active in television and business. Her return to fashion-competition television through Project Runway placed her again in a genre closely associated with her earlier work.
Hayes, meanwhile, had completed his transition out of RTX’s executive leadership. His newer public roles were in corporate governance, including his position as lead independent director at Phillips 66.
Those current roles reinforce the same basic point that answers the original search: Tyra Banks and Gregory J. Hayes are individually well-documented public figures, but no public record establishes the romantic, marital, family or major professional relationship that their names appearing together online might imply.
