"He is slated to shoot the photos for the opening credits of ... the upcoming 'America's Next Top Model,'" added the source, referring to Asla's participation in the long-running modeling reality show. Banks is set to return to the series as host.
Banks and Asla met during an episode of the Norwegian version of "America's Next Top Model." Over the years, Asla — a professional photographer — has shot for several popular magazines such as German Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Allure.
In July, it was reported that Asla and Banks were having issues with their relationship following the birth of their son. The young boy was born through a surrogate after Banks admitted that she had "traumatic" experiences in fertility treatment.
"When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids. I'm like, 'Damn, the clock is ticking!'" said the TV personality.
