AceShowbiz - Tyler Perry is going to be a father. A source close to the "Gone Girl" actor tells Gossip Cop that he is expecting his first baby with his on-and-off girlfriend, Gelila Bekele. An insider says, "He is thrilled and over the moon."
According to reports, the filmmaker and theater producer announced the happy news while celebrating his 45th birthday last week. He recently shared pictures from the bash which was attended by stars like Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Holliday, Tevin Campbell, LeAnn Rimes and Yolanda Adams.
Last year during his appearance on "The Steve Harvey Show", the star of "A Madea Christmas" said of fatherhood, "I know I would be a great father. I don't want to work this hard. I don't want to have all of this and not leave it to my children."
Tyler's representative has not made any comments on the pregnancy.
