Tyler Perry's ex is "beyond grateful" to co-direct a documentary about his life.

Gelila Bekele, Tyler Perry's ex and the mother of his child, recently expressed her gratitude for co-directing the upcoming documentary on his life. Taking to Instagram, she shared a series of photos from the Hollywood premiere of "Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story", which took place on Friday, October 27th.

Bekele expressed her joy at standing next to "mavericks" such as Perry, Oprah Winfrey, actor David Oyelowo, and co-leader Armani Ortiz. She expressed her gratitude for being given the privilege of telling Perry's story, and for allowing her to be part of this journey.

The documentary is set to premiere on Amazon Prime on November 17th, and will tell the story of Perry's early life and career trajectory, from his birth in New Orleans, Louisiana to becoming a billionaire media mogul. Despite announcing their split in 2017, Bekele was still included in the project.

At the time of their split, Perry expressed his feelings in an Instagram post. He revealed that he was 51, single and wondering what the next chapter of his life would look like. He went on to say that no matter what it looked like, he would be the best father and man he could be.

Bekele and Perry share their son Aman Tyler, who was born in 2014. At the time, Perry expressed his pride in having a child with her, calling her "amazing". A source later claimed that the pair had amicably split some time ago and remained close friends, with their focus on being the best parents they could be for their son.

In addition, Perry recently announced that he would be building a new home for a 93-year-old woman who is being displaced by developers. This act of kindness is yet another example of Perry's generosity, and it's clear that his story will be one worth telling.
