Tyler Perry confirms he and girlfriend are having a baby

I did not even know he was dating. Apparently, he has been shagging Ethiopian model, Gelila Bekele. And now, they are going to have a baby. The film entrepreneur confirmed the happy news over the weekend at the New York Film Festival. After reporters shouted questions about his rumored girlfriend and impending pregnancy, Tyler replied, “We’re good. Very happy. She’s excited, I’m excited so we’re very happy.”

So, Hollywood and the world at large, are there still any more whispers of his sexuality, in light of these events?

      Babies out of wedlock are such a norm in Hollywood, about as common as the air celebrities breathe

      I’m with T on this one o….so, what sets you apart from the crowd? You’re supposed to be very close to God and preaching his word through film, and you still have a baby out of wedlock?

      Anyway, glad he’s happy….whatever floats his boat!

      Yeah yeah yeah we get it. You have a kid and it seems all is right with the world when the little bundle of joy is placed in your arms. Some Hollywood shii… but like dennis said, not everyone is wired out to be a parent. I be chilling for your kid to hit puberty.

      keep campaigning bro.

      I can’t agree less. Kids are bundles of joy. Wait till they become a year old and start using you as a “live toy”, and calling “dady dady”. The joy is boundless

    Why can’t everybody be straight until they say or are caught otherwise? The desperation of labelling just anyone gay just cos they fine, unmarried or kinda effeminate self.

        I’m slowly getting to a point where the sexuality of a person doesn’t even matter. Gay or straight, na him cup of tea. Changes nothing. Straight could as well be the new gay and gay could be the new straight. My only interest is…*sips lipton*

    You can as well say there are no 50 year old gay guys in Nigeria. Guess why? They are all married!

      Legal, I know a 45 year old hunk who is neither married nor attached. And he looks incredible for his age. Thing is, I don’t know his sexuality. And people around him speculate fiercely. Dude doesn’t act like it bothers him.
      My point is, there’s always that existing statistic that you don’t believe possible in Nigeria

      my dear, the 45 year old hunk is an exception.
      I tell my gay friends I don’t intend ever getting married, and they are always like WHAT? that’s a joke!
      The majority of 9ja gay dudes have plans for marriage.
      My point? Marriage isn’t the proof of straightness.

        I don’t know why most of my friends wanna get married…TO A LADY…I mean who wants to sentence himself to an eternal prison…Filled with unhappiness…children might be a joy for some, but for me(right Now) I think I’ll pass.. I just don’t get why they need to satisfy other people’s needs instead of theirs…I mean aren’t we allowed to be selfish in our life decisions??
