Both live a private life away from the press; hence, the little detail made known about their relationship.

A POSSIBLE SECRET MARRIAGE

The American-Ethiopian model became a mother in 2017 with a son whom she shares with her boyfriend, Tyler Perry, an actor, and comedian. Although confirmations about tying the knot have not surfaced, the couple has been together for quite some time.

Mid-last year, a post by Grammy Award-winning singer Sraphanie Mills caused speculation of a secret marriage between the couple occurred as she referred to Bekele as Perry’s wife.

“Tyler Perry, his lovely wife, Gelila and I at The Tyler Perry Cast Party in Atlanta GA,” she captioned the post.

However, it is possible that Mills assumed their civil status or simply referred to her as his wife because of the fact that they share a son. No confirmation or denial has been made about the issue.

THE LIFE OF BEKELE

Both live a private life away from the press; hence, the little detail made known about their relationship. However, it is said that their romance began in 2009 and has flourished ever since.

Apart from being in a loving relationship with Perry, the model is also a civil rights activist, a documentary creator, a humanitarian, and a philanthropist in and around Ethiopia. She is associated with different organizations, such as Charity: Water, and Glimmer of hope.
