A Look at His Personal Life and Relationships"},"content":{"rendered":"

No, Tyler Perry is not gay. The American actor and billionaire filmmaker is believed to be single at the moment, but he has been in some straight relationships. His last known girlfriend was Ethiopian-born model, Gelila Bekele, with whom he has a son.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born on 3 September 1969 and currently 54 years old, Perry is one among several other Hollywood stars whose sexuality has been brought into question, but while he has not come out to clear the air, people close to him have made it known that he is neither gay nor bisexual. Here is a look at his true sexuality and his relationship life.<\/p>\n

Is Tyler Perry Gay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tyler Perry is not gay. The speculation that he may be sexually attracted to men has been on for a very long time and for many reasons. One such is the fact that at the age 54 years of age, he has not yet gotten married. More so, he has not been in many well-known relationships with women in the past.<\/p>\n

While the speculations about the successful and good-looking billionaire filmmaker’s sexuality continue, he has never been linked to any man in terms of relationships. This is except for the actor, Tyler Lepley who has worked with himy in the past and has played some gay roles. There have been claims that Perry is the one who influenced Lepley into becoming gay.<\/p>\n

The fact that Tyler Lepley has since come out to make it clear that neither he nor Perry is gay, has done little to stop the baseless claims. Lepley is known to be in a loving relationship with Miracle Watts<\/a>, with whom he has a son.<\/p>\n

Reasons Fans Think Tyler Perry Might Be Gay<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tyler Perry’s role as the strong-willed African-American woman, Madea, in some of his productions is one of the reasons why some insist he is gay. Perry cleared the air on this when he made it known that initially, the untrue claims about his sexuality used to bother him but he has grown above it. He said he can’t help it if people cannot separate his personality from the character he plays in the Madea franchise.<\/p>\n

The mannerism and aura of the actor is another thing that has got the infamous gossip columnist, Michael Musto to claim that Perry is gay. According to him, his outward appearance and the way in which he behaves gives him out as gay.<\/p>\n

Another thing that people have picked to label the film producer is his history of hiring muscular good-looking men to take part in his productions. One such actor is the aforementioned actor, Terry Lepley. The actor took the role of a gay character in Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Haves Nots<\/em>. He has also gone on to have some other gay roles which added fuel to the claims that he is gay and may just be Perry’s partner.<\/p>\n
