Tyler Perry's ex Gelila Bekele shared a photo of her amid her behind-the-camera shenanigans where she looked heavenly in a sheer black dress and flaunted her natural curls.
Tyler Perry's ex Gelila Bekele is keeping busy. The 34-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of herself working behind the camera while looking like a snack.
Bekele turned her back at the camera and looked towards the set. Her slender figure was clad in a black dress. The net sleeves were adorned with abstract patterns.

The stunning mother-of-one let her light curly mane loose. "A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller," she quoted in the caption.
An insider revealed the split was amicable...
Her fans flooded the comments section with compliments. "Such a kind soul you have," one fan wrote. "My daughter [loves] you. Keep doing what [you're] doing. Proud of you," another fan shared.
Bekele has many feathers to her hat. Her history with Perry is not the only thing she is known for — she is a civil rights activist, a documentary filmmaker, and a model who has graced the covers of many reputed magazines.

Bekele and Perry split up last year. Perry revealed he was a single man in a December 17, 2020, Instagram post where he also talked about having a mid-life crisis.
"This is what a midlife crisis looks like. I’m 51, single and wondering what the next chapter in my life will look like."
According to People, an insider revealed the split was amicable and they parted ways some time before December 2020. They also said the duo remain close friends.
"Their focus is on being the best parents they can for their son."
Bekele and Perry welcomed a son, Aman Tyler, in December 2014. Back then, Perry gushed about how there was no other person on the planet with whom he would be involved and have a child.
Oprah Winfrey is the godmother of Aman. Perry also chose Cicely Tyson to be his beloved son's godmother. She passed away on January 28 at 96 due to unknown causes.
