She added that he kept asking her to stay on his bed and play at 3 am, and she felt like telling him that she needed to go to her bed, but then, she realized something. Tyra said:

"I am going to be crying when he is eight, and he is going to say, mama, get out of my bed, so I am like let me cherish this moment."

When asked about York's smartness and the number of languages he speaks, the proud mom revealed that her son speaks four languages.

She then went on to joke about not understanding some of York's words.

Banks was asked if she felt this was her best version, and replied by saying that she feels it is the "most free" version of herself.

"My son is three and a half years old, and I didn't want him growing up thinking food was only in fancy restaurants, fast food restaurants, or just an app. I wanted to be my son's chef – and I did something about it," she said.

The something Tyra did was to enroll in the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California, which she tagged as a serious boot camp.
