Ga Ga: Model And Tyler Perry’s Rumored Girlfriend Gelila Bekele

Posted on January 15, 2009 with 26 Comments

Ethiopian born model Gelila Bekele is only 24 years old and already racking up a resume of impressive campaigns including Pantene and Colgate and more than a few gossip pages.

The Ford model set tongues wagging when she accompanied Tyler Perry to the premiere of his film Why Did I Get Married as well as the launch of his film studio in Atlanta last year and ever since Perry called her a “special person” in his life on Oprah and Regis the engagement rumors have exploded.

Blindie is ga ga for Bekele, and not just because she has the first African American major film studio owner on her arm, but because the stunning beauty is also a humanitatian and works with the organizations Charity: Water, Kageno, Keep a Child Alive and Darfur Action Network.

  6. kelly says:

    this is old news!….there no longer dating.
    I have ethiopian girl friends and “they are….gold diggers”!just like any other race. the women do not date out side there race unless the man have money
    and “Thats a fact..! “Herd it from the horses mouth”!

  7. Stina says:

    They are both in the entertainment industry and both successful. Why does it seem so odd that they might be together? As for her being or not being, ” a real sister”, who gets to measure that? What value does it add to a community to discount someone’s blackness when the odds are stacked extremely high against any of us in the diaspora? …especially when we are trying to succeed in multimillion dollar industries.

  8. hon says:

GOD BLESS You,on your pick of who might just be the right one.

  14. Joann says:

    I am happy for him as long as she does him good and not evil, hats off to them you sister hopefuls get over it, he has to marry if that his desire. just be happy for him move on and stop being so petty. in reference to him being a “batty man” Alyo society so twisted that
    the slightest innocence must be seen cynnical. give the bro. a Break . when he was broke,busted and disgusted where were all?
    .

  22. Matthew Levi says:

    i love her to death she mah sista i miss chu

  23. Julie says:

    He talks a good talk…but he will never marry a real sista. Ethiopian doesnt count. Why can’t he marry and african american. Anyway, to all you hopefuls he will not marry anyone who is fat, broke, and not a model. Deal with it, and find your own man ladies.

  24. so real says:

    Why a man (Tyler) who called Chris Brown 19 and Rhahanna 21babies in a interview with OK magazine when Gelila is 24? That means he is dating a baby when he is 39 going on 40? If tyler doesn’t respect them as adults how can he respect his girlfriend as an adult being able to have a relationship with someone his age. Just wondering.

  25. No name says:

    She is not dating him and never has…they are merely friends. She has a bf that she’s had for years.

  26. star gazer says:

    Gelila Bekele is stunning. I love that she is more than a pretty face. Tyler is blessed to have her in his life. A woman who shines on her own.
