Julien's Ex-husband Has A Son Named Jordan With His Previous Wife, April Roomet

In the late 1990s, Beckford began dating celebrity stylist April Roomet. The former couple also had a son named Jordan, born in 1998. 

Their son, Jordan, partnered with Soul Artist Management after following in his father's footsteps, and he made his runway debut in Shanghai in 2018 at a Tommy Hilfiger show.

From 2008 to 2015, Beckford was in an on-and-off relationship with Shanina Shaik, a model. However, she began dating DJ Ruckus right after their breakup in 2015.

In June 2016, Beckford and DJ Ruckus, who met in a nightclub, were involved in a fistfight. According to TMZ, the fight between two former friends included blood after Beckford was on top of Ruckus before being punched in the head by one of Ruckus's friends.

In 2015, while speaking to Diana Madison backstage at a New York fashion show about his failed relationships over the years, Beckford identified his controlling character as the cause of his many breakups.

He explained, "I have a way of putting my foot in my mouth. There is no filter and that is my problem. I kind of get controlling when she is getting dressed as I might be like 'Don't wear that, wear this.'"

Beckford has since been linked with a slew of other fashion industry stars. Paige Butcher and Caridee English are two of the names on his girlfriend list.

Tyson Beckford was Labeled as Gay by Kim Kardashian

Despite having a son and dating a number of women throughout his career, Beckford was subjected to an allegation when American socialite Kim Kardashian suggested he was gay.

In July 2018, Tyson commented on Kardashian's post about her body and rumored surgeries, saying, "Sorry I don't care for it personally." He also wrote, "She is not real, doctor f***ed up on her right hip."

As a result, Kardashian retaliated against Beckford and implied that he finds her unattractive because he is gay. She wrote, "Sis we all know why you don't care for it,' she wrote."

When Kardashian's reply went viral, Beckford was unapologetic on his Instagram Stories later that day. He posted, "Despite what @Theshaderoom might be tryna say, my opinion on women who do plastic surgery stays the same, not for me! I personally don't care for it! Done end of story!"

In another story, Beckford wrote, "Always gonna pick a Beyonce over anyone else." 

Beckford also took to Instagram, showing his muscular build body, mentioning he is not gay but supports the LGBTQ.

He wrote in one of his posts, "Train 5-6 days a week, weights Martial Arts and Firearms and I defend those who can't defend themselves!" he wrote. "I support LGBTQ, even though I'm not Gay. It's just the Human thing to do."
