Gelila Bekele is a model who had been dating Tyler Perry since 2009. While her natural beauty is obviously indicated of his attraction to her, the couple shares a deeper connection with their love for philanthropy.

She is also a social activist, humanitarian, author, and documentary filmmaker. Her passion has been advocating for girls' rights and using her work to highlight various issues affecting children in her native country of Ethiopia.

"Sending love to all the incredible teachers, community leaders, organizations and individuals dedicated to the school system."

The shaky video footage appeared to be taken by one of the children, who could be heard laughing in the background as the child's classmates swarmed him to get in on the shot.

Bekele was pictured sitting on a desk in a classroom, smiling with a group of children, who rushed to her for an embrace as they posed for the camera. One fan praised her for the work she does.

Bekele and Perry's

is one of the many projects you will find the famously private couple supporting each other.

"I get a FaceTime call and she's holding up the pregnancy stick. I'm like, 'I guess this is happening.'"

While Perry talks openly about his son with Bekele and revealed that he enjoys spending hours watching Nickelodeon's "Paw Patrol," the couple has never revealed a photo of him.

However, Perry admitted to PEOPLE, that his son is a spitting image of himself and when he looks at Aman, it reminds him of his "younger pictures."
