Many fans have wondered why Perry and his girlfriend have not tied the knot despite dating for over a decade. The actor revealed in a reported interview that 15 years ago, he did not want to date or have kids until he felt financially comfortable.

The actor also said that he was unsure of what sort of father he would be if he ever got married. However, he was always sure he would make a great father.

Perry is undoubtedly a great dad to his son, Aman, and while fans wait to see if he and Bekele would eventually tie the knot, they are sure that the couple is truly committed to each other.
