Aman Tyler Perry, born on November 30, 2014, is the son of renowned filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry and Ethiopian model and activist Gelila Bekele.
His name, Aman, means “peace,” reflecting the significance his parents place on tranquility and harmony.
Tyler Perry is dedicated to providing Aman with a grounded upbringing, despite the family’s substantial wealth. In a recent interview, Perry shared that when Aman was around five years old, he expressed a preference for flying on Perry’s private plane over commercial flights. To instill humility and prevent a sense of entitlement, Perry and Bekele decided that Aman should continue flying coach for several years. Perry stated, “We’re clear-eyed about him not being a spoiled kid.”
Perry also emphasizes the importance of privacy for his son, choosing to keep Aman’s life out of the public eye to allow him a normal childhood. He has expressed his desire for Aman to have as typical a life as possible, away from the spotlight that accompanies Perry’s fame.
While Tyler Perry and Gelila Bekele ended their romantic relationship in December 2020, they continue to co-parent Aman amicably, focusing on providing a loving and supportive environment for their son.
