Bekele started her career as a model at nineteen after she was discovered at the University of California, Berkeley as a freshman student.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan South Africa, she noted that she did not buy the idea of becoming a model at first because of the environment she came from.

However, she picked up the interest and worked hard. She got signed into Ford Models New York and Ford Models Paris and began working for them in 2006. She also modeled for top-notch designers and companies.

Her path crossed with Perry a year later, and the duo began their relationship in 2009. The Hollywood legend rained accolades on his girlfriend at the time. He spoke to People where he noted that Bekele was amazing and there was no other person he would have a child with.

However, the hopes of many who looked forward to the duo tying the knot were dashed after the actor revealed in December in an Instagram post that he was 51, single, and wondering what the next chapter of his life would look like.

Nevertheless, the former lovers have not allowed their split to hinder them from being the best parents to their son. They are set to put their differences aside and be there for their 6-year-old.
