Tyler Perry's former lover Gelila Bekele is a beauty, and she's not about to let anyone forget that. The beautiful woman recently took to her Instagram stories to share a photo of herself.

In the picture, she looked absolutely gorgeous as she posed up a storm dressed in a faded denim shirt that she left unbuttoned to show off some skin.

She coupled the shirt with a matching pair of denim pants that rode low on her waist. Her hair was styled in long wavy curls that fell past her shoulders.

Bekele is Perry's ex-girlfriend. They first met at a Prince concert in 2007, and by 2009 they were in a committed relationship. The pair stayed together for more than ten years before they finally called it quits. The two share a son named Aman.

He was born on November 30, 2014. Some years later, Perry revealed that Bekele broke the news of her pregnancy to him via facetime by holding up the pregnancy test.

Rumors of their breakup began on December 16 after Perry implied they were over by tagging himself a single man passing through a midlife crisis.

Bekele also joined in during a climate march held in April 2017. She shared updates from the march on her Instagram page.

A source close to them revealed that the split was an amicable one and that both parties were focused on being the best they could be for their child.

Like Perry, Bekele works in the entertainment industry. She is a model who got scouted as a student at UC Berkeley, and she is also a filmmaker.

Bekele was born in Ethiopia, where she is recognized as an outspoken activist. According to her website, she focuses much of her attention on equal rights and access to education for girls and women.

In recent years, her activism has spread to the USA. She was a willing participant in the Women's March that happened in January 2017 in Washington, D.C.

Bekele also joined in during a climate march held in April 2017. She shared updates from the march on her Instagram page. A photo she shared via Instagram captured the placard she held during the march.

The words on the placard read, "Society should worry when models have to demonstrate." While she has her own career to profit from, Perry once said he would give her a share of his properties.
