ntertainment mogul

Tyler Perry 

and his girlfriend

Gelila Bekele

have welcomed their first child, a source close to the couple confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The couple confirmed through the source earlier this fall that they were expecting.

While media outlets including People have reported the Sunday arrival of little Aman Tyler Perry, the famously private actor/director/playwright hasn't yet comment. Perhaps because he's not getting much sleep?

Please check back for details.
