Judging from their resemblance, it is safe to assume that the woman in the picture with Gelila is indeed her mother. The two had on similar curly wavy hairdo and shared some striking facial resemblance.

Although the occasion for which the picture was taken is not known, the two were dressed in all-black attire. While the delectable mother wore an off-shoulder blouse, Gelila wore what looked to be a black suit jacket with an inner shirt.

There is no other person in the world whom he would want to be involved with or have a child with.
