Unveiling Tyler Perry's Intimate Moments

Last Moment of Bliss: Watching Son Play Soccer

Tyler Perry vividly recalls a specific moment two Saturdays ago. As he stood by, watching his 10-year-old son Aman play soccer, a sense of pure joy washed over him.

Keeping Aman Grounded: Flying Commercial

When Aman was around 5 years old, he began expressing a desire to be on "Dad's plane" instead of flying commercial. Perry and his ex, filmmaker Gelila Bekele, came up with a plan.
