HollywoodLife.com spoke to Nigel in his first interview since he was fired as judge on the hit show and he reveals what it was like when Tyra told him the news!

Nigel Barker is keeping his chin up and is excited for what’s next. But the 39-year-old photographer and long-time fixture of America’s Next Top Model tells HollywoodLife.com that learning that he was not going to be a part of season 19 is definitely difficult to come to terms with.

“It’s always sad when it comes to an end,” Nigel says. “Ratings have been going down and the networks [CBS & CW] wanted to shake things up and they came to to the conclusion that changing everything would fix things.”

We told you that Nigel, Jay Manuel and J Alexander were all let go from the show and Tyra Banks even took to her Twitter to comment on the news.

“It is always going to be a bit awkward, how could it not be,” he says now of his relationship with Tyra. “Whenever you call anyone up to say ‘listen you can’t come’ or ‘I’m not coming … it’s over,’ it’s never the call anyone wants to have. I don’t think any of us wanted to leave.”

But Nigel tells HollywoodLife.com that now he will be able to focus on opportunities that he wasn’t able to before.

“I myself have had many opportunities that I haven’t been able to follow up on because of the exclusivity of America’s Next Top Model,” he says. “It is sad because it was an era. I turn 40 next week and it defined my 30s. Now my 40s: here we go! I’m looking forward to going off on my own and doing my own shows and being my own boss.”

But has this hurt his relationship with Tyra?

“To be honest I don’t think it has hurt my relationship with her at all,” Nigel tells us. “It’s not just her. There are many different factors. This is a huge business with CBS and the CW… who knows what the right decison may be. Maybe they made a bad decision. They will see and find out. I wish them nothing but the best and good luck with the next.”

Not only does Nigel Barker get to hang out with the gorgeous Tyra Banks everyday, but he gets to be with his equally gorgeous family, too! Nigel has been married to model Cristen Chin Barker since 1999 and the couple have two kids, Jack, 5, and Jasmine,2. But, Nigel definitely wants more kids!

“Having kids is the best in the world telling you the truth straight up,” Nigel tells HollyBaby.com. “They are very grounding and basically you are falling in love over and over and over again. Theres nothing better than that. I’d love more children.”

Nigel recently had a cameo in the new film Arthur, alongside Russell Brand and Jennifer Garner, and of course, he is still a lasting presence on America’s Next Top Model!

Happy birthday, Nigel — and good luck with that birthday baby wish!

It wasn’t a regular monday night at the eatery when I went but rather Valentine’s day. It was extremely busy but not in the least bit overcrowded. I was greeted with a beautiful long-stemmed rose and was promptly sat at my table. They were amazing enough to sit two of us at a table for four unlike other NYC restaurants who would cram a couple into a tiny table to save room. The service was impeccable — from the enthusiastic waiter offering up his best advice on dishes to the bus boys who always seemed to know once I was finished with my last bite. As for the food: The half-shell Oysters were delicious and the crab meat appetizers were to die for. The cocktail sauce had a spicy kick to it which only made it better. The table next to us had Benjamin’s signature canadian bacon that looked great and must have been — because they couldn’t stop raving to us about it!

The entrees were next and let me tell you, even if you are a pescatarian or a vegetarian there is something delicious on the menu for you. The Porter House Steak for one was flawless not to mention huge and the lobster tails with butter melted in your mouth. The cottage fries and broccoli were great but we say — skip the creamed spinach.

We finished off with a little champagne toast – courtesy of their Valentine’s Day special — and a slice of cheesecake big enough for two that comes with chocolate covered strawberries and whip cream. It was a fantastic end to an unforgettably delicious dinner.
