According to a close source, the star, and his long time lover, Bekele ended their relationship not long ago but remained cordial for the sake of their six-year-old son, Aman.

The duo were together for a long time before welcoming their son and when the little one arrived, the couple bonded even closer. However, Perry's career drive and focus have made the topic of marriage a secondary one.

The star once shared that he did not want to dabble in marriage and starting a family just yet. He even added that for a period of 15 years, he stayed off dating and romance.

Now that he has attained the status of a dad, the “Acrimony” maker who dotes on his cute son is determined to do his best in training the little boy. The star dad once shared some of the important discussions he would be having with Aman.

In accordance with the BLM movement and police issues in the country, Perry shared his thoughts about having the discussions of racial prejudice with the little boy when he became older.
