Tyler Perry announced to his friends at a star studded 45th birthday bash he threw himself that he’s expecting his first child, a source at the party reveals.
He however did not revealed who the mother of the child is but all fingers point to Gelila Bekele, a 28-year-old Ethiopian model and philanthropist who openly dated Perry on and off for the past five years.

Perry is known for his dramatic works, which has such strong Christian themes on the backdrop, which gets us wondering if he got married and we missed the news of his wedding.

Very likely.
Stay tuned for more updates on this.
