If the rumors that Tyler Perry and Gelila Bekele began dating immediately after meeting in 2007 are true, the couple’s relationship has lasted more than a decade. The couple had an on-again, off-again relationship since their affair became public knowledge. However, they made the conscious decision to begin cohabiting in 2014.
Because of their live-in arrangement, fans began to see them as husband and wife, and these claims began to ring true after they welcomed their son. People quickly labeled them as “a sweet family.”
People soon began to speculate that Tyler and Gelila may have secretly married. This claim gained traction on June 11, 2017, when American vocalist Stephanie Mills referred to Bekele as Perry’s wife. The Instagram post, it goes without saying, sounded like a hint that they had secretly married after all.
Tyler Perry and his love interest barely mentioned their relationship in public while it was going on. They were, however, frequently seen together at public events, movie award nights, and functions.
