Isn't Emmitt a biological father of Tyler Perry?

Willie Maxine Perry's son Tyler Perry has revealed the secret about his family matters. 

He spilled that the man with whom he has grown up, Mr. Emmitt, is not his biological father, and his mother has been lying to him since early. 

The artist was quite sure from his childhood that the man could not be his father due to his abusive nature towards him. 

To clear out all this confusion, he then had a DNA test along with his brother, which automatically after the report proves that Tyler was right.  

Established Children's of Mrs. Perry

Willie is blessed with four children. We must say that two of them are a well-established artist of today. 

Beginning with her son, Tyler is counted as a successful person in today's industry.

Moving on to her son, he is also a film director and an actor named Emmbre Perry.

He is recognized for his work in No more games, Madea's Family Reunion, and two is better than one.

She has a daughter named Yulanda Wilkins as well.

Willie Maxine, the mother of great artists, died on December 8, 2009.

She was unwell for a long time so her son requested his fans to pray for her speedy recovery and fine health through the medium of emails. 

But the illness she was suffering from was not released. 

Later on, he disclosed that her health is getting better, and doing fine. 

Unfortunately, the prayers for her did not last for much, and she had to leave this world. 

Tyler thanked all his fans for the warm prayers for his mom on the website after she died. 

But he did not mention any other details.

How was Willie's life with her husband, Emmitt?

As Willie is no more alive now but let's take a sneak peek at her life with her husband when she was alive. 

The lady was a preschool teacher in New Orleans

It is difficult to track her personal life history as she was far away from the media world. 

Until and unless her son Tyler entered into the industry. 

Tyler mentioned that his childhood was a depressing one and also couldn't forget an incident that happened with them. 

Back then, due to the abusive nature of Emmitt Perry, Sr. (Willie's life partner), Willie went out with her children in the car. 

Later on, the car was reported to be got stolen by none other than her partner himself. 

All three were locked up in the jail. Later, Emmitt came and rescued them. 

The man beat his wife all the way. From this incident, we can assume how hard Willie's wife went with her partner. 

Are Tyler and Gelila married, or just been dating?

Talking about Tyler's relationship with Gelila, it's unsure whether they are a married couple or have just been dating for a long time. 

It's still a secret. Long back in 2007, the pair met at a Prince concert and instantly connected, resulting in a relationship. 

Despite the hectic schedule of Tyler, they were able to give time to each other anyhow. 

They had an adorable son together. Recently, in 2020 the couple split up with each other. 

The reasons behind it are still unclear. However, the ex pair has decided to raise their son as being friends.

An Inspiration to Tyler

The popular character, Madea, which Tyler portrays in shows like Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, Love Thy Neighbor, and Madea’s Big Happy Family, is based on the women in his childhood.  

His mother and aunt are the inspiration for the character.  

A month before the death of his mother, he had a good time with her. He was grateful to God for having her. 

The son and mother duo spent the weekend laughing and reminiscing.

And to Ellen’s and audiences’ surprise, he said that it was not Kanye. So there was actually two black person besides him in Wyoming.
