The 'America's Next Top Model' host - who welcomed her first son York via a surrogate in January - has opened up about the struggles of being a mother, revealing she shares the night duties with her partner Erik Asla.

She said: "Some mornings you wake up, and you're like, 'Where am I? I don't know what's going on. And I know it's not a good idea for me to drive right now because I did not sleep. So I balance that and his dad helps, and we go back and forth so that's good.

"Erik does about 40 percent diaper duty at night. So we're almost fifty-fifty."

The 42-year-old model also revealed motherhood has helped improve her business as she has learned the art of delegation.

She added to E! News: "Well, I'm on maternity leave right now, just taking a break. I really now am empowering my team. I'm understanding delegation, understanding that I don't have to do everything to make something successful.

"I'm on maternity leave and Tyra Beauty is kickin' butt! It just goes to show, empower and empower others and you can grow."
