Who needs Tyra? Nigel Barker moves on from America's Next Top Model as he lovingly kisses his wife at fashion event

He was publicly humiliated when he was fired by Tyra Banks from America's Next Top Model last year.
But it seems Nigel Barker has moved on from his disappointment, as he was spotted tenderly smooching his wife Cristen at a fashion event in New York on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old model turned photographer seemed to be having a great time as he enjoyed the glamorous atmosphere.

The Londoner looked rather dapper in a black suit, while his spouse looked fragrant in a black and white shadow patterned dress.
And he was certainly in demand, as model Coco Rocha also grabbed him to make sure she had a snap taken with the fashion photographer at the DuJour February issue launch at posh restaurant The Darby.
The 24-year-old Canadian beauty certainly stole plenty of glances in an attractive black trouser suit.
Ironically, Nigel has revealed that becoming a member of the America's Next Top Model's judging panel cost him work.

He said: 'When I was approached about Top Model, my career was on a real upward spiral.
'I had just done a bunch of great editorials and was getting calls from the likes of Jil Sander and Versace.
'It crossed my mind that if I joined the show, it could be considered selling out And for a while there, it was tough. A lot of people wouldn’t go near me.
'The Vogues and various people — they wouldn’t touch me. They wouldn’t even look at my book.
'But what happened in the process of me being on the show for a decade is that obviously the fashion world changed.'
Of course his loyalty to the show was not repaid in kind, and he was unceremoniously given the boot by the show's creator and star Tyra Banks in an attempt to address plummeting ratings.
