Runway strutter "Miss J" Alexander, known for his biting advice to contestants on America's Next Top Model, revealed Tuesday that he's a dad.

"Miss J" and his ex-boyfriend Alex have a 7-year-old son named Boris, whom he praises as "an incredibly smart child. He was toilet-trained at a year and three months. He refuses to drink out of plastic and will use only glass."

He also said on Tuesday's Tyra Banks Show that his son insists on wearing nice shoes. "I think somehow my fashion genes must have slipped in there," he said.
