Despite being one very successful man in showbiz, Tyler Perry is fairly reserved. He may be an Emmy Award-winning producer, writer, and director, the creator of beloved character Madea , a philanthropist, and a self-made near-billionaire, but when it comes to his love life, Perry's usually very private. Which is why fans were so surprised when Perry opened up about his longtime girlfriend Gelila Bekele to Tip "T.I." Harris in early 2020. On T.I.'s expediTIously podcast, Perry was asked if he sees himself settling down with someone he can share his fortune with. He replied, "I have someone who's wonderful and she's getting her share of all of it." While Perry does not often mention his leading lady, he has touched on the subject of marriage in the past. Speaking to Jay Leno in 2013, Perry said, "I'm not so sure, with this kind of work ethic, what kind of husband I will be [...] I don't know about marriage as much as I do know that I'd be a great father." Since then, Perry has welcomed a son, Amman Tyler Perry, into the world with Bekele. Like her partner, Bekele is a talented force in the entertainment industry and uses her platform to fight for what she believes in.
