A humanitarian, social activist, model, writer, and filmmaker; The pulchritudinous Ethiopian Gelila Bekele is a perfect blend of beauty, brains and social responsibility. As a model, she has graced the covers of top magazines such as Essence, Allure and Marie Claire. She continued to stay relevant and sort after in the fashion world.

Gelila Bekele has been praised for her relentless effort to tell Ethiopian history the right way. Its goal is to showcase the rich cultural heritage of its people while also contributing to its quota in order to improve the standard of living of the Ethiopian people. For this purpose, Gelila Bekele has written a book and made a short film. with both works being critically acclaimed. She also advocates for the empowerment and emancipation of women. She actively participated in the Women’s March in Washington DC and also continued to donate to the education of Ethiopian girls. Gelila is a faithful mother and wife, which makes her (in my opinion) a superwoman whose character and achievements should be emulated by young girls everywhere.

Bio, Age

The 31-year-old Ethiopian embodiment of beauty was born on the 4th day of September 1986 in the beautiful city of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia and of course the cultural and commercial hub. It is believed that she spent part of her childhood in Addis Ababa but eventually lived in Europe and America through her modeling career. Not much is known about her education or qualifications, but we do know that she started modeling professionally in 2006 when she was 20 years old. This was made possible by a modeling agency called Ford Models, who noticed her modeling potential when she was still in Ethiopia. and her exploits with them took her to Paris and New York.

Gelila continued to be featured in several high-end magazines and made deals with name brands such as Levi’s, Diesel, Michael Kors, H&M, Tory Burch, Anna Sui, Pinko, L’Oreal, Colgate and Pantene. The supermodel is currently affiliated with the following modeling agencies: Model Management (New York), Premium Models (Paris) and W360 (New York).

She can also boast of some credits in filmography. In 2009, she appeared alongside Dino Antoniou in a film called Plein. As stated earlier, Gelila is a certified filmmaker. She released her first and only movie so far in 2015 and it is titled: May: Life Is Not Cherished which is a short film tackling the global problem of water scarcity.

Guzo

In 2016, Gelila will publish a book titled GuzoThe book is an exposition of the way of life, culture, religious beliefs, professions, traditions and customs of the six main tribes in Ethiopia. These tribes include Hamar Tribe, Tigray Tribe, Afar Tribe, Raya Tribe, Harrar Tribe and Lasta Lalibela Tribe. Gelila’s book contains stunning photographs that gracefully depict the alluring essence of these tribes. The book subsequently received several positive reviews.

Parents, sons, husband, Tyler Perry

There is currently no information about the Parents; However, it can be assumed that they are of Ethiopian origin. Nonetheless, we do know that she has a half-sister named Anna Wrossetti, who happens to be younger than Gelila and has been seen in several social media posts with the model.

Gelila Bekele has never been married, although she has a son with her longtime boyfriend, Tyler Perry. Born on September 13th , 1969, Tyler Perry is an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, writer, and songwriter. He is popular for his role as Madea Simmons. Madea is an on-screen character created and portrayed by him in several Madea movie sequels. The sequels were also produced and directed by Tyler Perry.

Most of Tyler Perry’s works reflect black church culture and have generated millions of dollars at the box office. He is one of the most successful African American entertainers of all time and was once recognized by Forbes as the highest paid man in entertainment; earning 130 million USD between May 2010 and May 2011.

Some of his film credits include: Diary of a Crazy Black Woman (2005), which he wrote, produced and starred as Madea/Joe/Brian; Madea’s Family Reunion (2006), where he starred as Madea/Joe/Brian and also served as the film’s writer, director, and producer. He also wrote, directed and produced Daddy’s Little Girls (2007) which starred Edris Elba and Gabriele Union; and wrote, produced and directed the 2008 American romantic comedy film Meet the Browns which starred Angela Bassett, Rick Fox and Tyler Perry himself.

Gelila Bekele’s relationship with Tyler Perry

Gelila Bekele met Tyler Perry in 2009 and they have been together ever since. The couple, for reasons they know best, decided not to get married. However, they live together and do almost everything married couples do. On November 30th , 2014, Gelila and Tyler were blessed with a baby boy named Aman Tyler Perry.

Gelila and Tyler have decided to keep their son away from social media and more so, from the public eye. They believe that Aman is not popular and should not have to deal with the social media surveillance and publicity that their celebrity status might bring until he is old enough to decide for himself. -same. The couple even went so far as to build a church similar to that of Tyler’s late mother, the late Willie Maxine Perry, who was alive. This was done in their backyard for Aman’s baptism, to keep him away from the press.

Tyler has repeatedly stated that he is a Christian and holds the precepts of the Bible sacrosanct. However, Christian society reproaches her for not having made Gelila an honest woman. Some people have questioned her faith and sexuality due to her decision not to take Gelila to the altar. Nonetheless, we believe the couple are in the best position to make this decision and should not be forced into the marriage. Whenever they decide to get married, we support them with the keys on our keyboard.

Net value

Bekele has been somewhat secretive with her networth. But we think she’s doing well financially because of the endorsement deals she’s been able to secure during her modeling career. Nevertheless, according to reports, his net worth and that of his partner Tyler is in the region of $600 million. This explains why the couple can afford to buy a lavish home in Beverly Hills, California for $14.5 million, as well as own a Rolls Royce and a $125 million private jet. Gelila and Tyler are renowned humanitarian philanthropists and have given millions of dollars to charity.
