Actor and producer Tyler Perry has welcomed his first child with longtime girlfriend Gelila Bekele, a source confirms to ET. The couple are the proud parents to son Aman, who was born Sunday, Nov. 30.
ET confirmed the couple was expecting back in September, and the 45-year-old Perry talked to Steve Harvey last year about his desire to be a father.
"I know I would be a great father," Perry told the talk-show host. "I don't want to work this hard. I don't want to have all of this and not leave it to my children."
