In a 2022 interview with AARP: The Magazine, Tyler Perry expressed that while he appreciates all the aspects of his life, being Aman Tyler Perry’s father motivates him daily. Tyler described fatherhood as surreal, incredible, and moving.

He expressed joy in seeing his reflection on his son’s face and marveled at the uniqueness of Aman’s personality. Tyler Perry emphasized that he wanted to protect Aman’s privacy and keep him away from the public eye, valuing his son’s right to everyday life. He wishes Aman to have his identity and not feel burdened by trying to live up to his father’s reputation.

Who Is Tyler Perry’s Son?

On November 30, 2014, Aman Tyler Perry was born to Tyler Perry and Ethiopian model, filmmaker, and activist Gelila Bekele. Aman, which means peace, holds significant meaning as it represents the true essence of Thanksgiving and the holiday season. Shortly after the birth, the proud parents sent out a birth announcement to their loved ones, requesting donations to Charity Water instead of traditional gifts.

Tyler Perry took to Instagram in January 2015 to share his joy, posting a photo of Aman’s crib and expressing his profound happiness. He described the peace he feels when holding his sleeping son, thanking God for the gift of Aman’s beauty.

The actor and director, aged 45 at the time, and his long-time girlfriend Gelila Bekele were thrilled to welcome their first child, and both mother and baby were reported to be happy and healthy. Knowing the sex of their child before the birth, Tyler was ecstatic about the arrival of their son.

His excitement stemmed from his complex relationship with his father. The proud dad was over the moon and embraced fatherhood wholeheartedly.

How Did Tyler Perry’s Son Help Him Heal From His Childhood Trauma?

Tyler Perry, who endured abuse during childhood, has shared how raising his son has played a significant role in his healing process. In a conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama on the Audible podcast, “The Light,” Tyler discussed his approach to disciplining his son with compassion.

He recounted when Aman resisted brushing his teeth while their nanny was home. Tyler asked the nanny to leave and took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with his son. He spoke directly to Aman, emphasizing that his behavior was unacceptable and that he could improve.

During this conversation, Tyler became emotional and had to leave the room. He realized no one had ever spoken to him with such compassion during childhood. This realization moved him to tears.

Tyler Perry expressed that this moment was about guiding and correcting his son and healing the inner child within himself. Seeing his son, who closely resembles him, allowed him to provide the care and understanding he had longed for as a child. Tyler described this experience as a beautiful and transformative moment in his life.

During a Q&A session at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, Gayle King asked Tyler Perry about raising his son under different circumstances than his upbringing. Tyler Perry replied by explaining that Aman doesn’t receive everything he wants and only gets a few gifts for birthdays and Christmas because he doesn’t have a job or money.

Is Tyler Perry’s Son Intrigued About Fame?

Fortunately, Aman is at an age where fame holds little significance for him. Tyler Perry humorously recounted a conversation with his son about fame. When Tyler asked Aman if he knew what being famous meant, Aman replied that it was when many people knew his name.

Tyler then mentioned that some people consider him famous, to which Aman responded by asking if they could continue coloring. Aman’s youthful innocence and focus on more critical things brought joy to his father.

Furthermore, Tyler Perry expressed his intention to delay discussing race with his son until he is older. Tyler believes that Aman is in a school environment where children are unaware of racial judgments and interact purely as friends.

Tyler wants to preserve Aman’s innocence and shield him from the knowledge that some people may judge him based on the color of his skin. He acknowledged that this innocence will eventually fade, and he anticipates a difficult day when he has to discuss race with his son.

Aman has already started asking challenging questions, indicating that the moment is approaching. However, Tyler desires his son to grow up as someone who recognizes injustice, speaks out against it, and works towards creating positive change in the world. 

Parenthood constantly jerks our celebrities into a beautiful reality. Anne Hathaway’s son also seems to have the same effect on her.
