I'm Never Going To Get Married— Tyler Perry Reveals
Omoyeni Olabode

Billionaire filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry has revealed that he has no intention of ever walking down the aisle, explaining that his stance is driven by the severe financial fallout he has witnessed others suffer following divorces.
Speaking as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show while promoting his latest Netflix film, Why Did I Get Married Again?, the 57-year-old entertainment mogul clarified that his reluctance is not rooted in a cynicism toward love, but rather in a calculated effort to protect his hard-earned empire. Perry pointed out that nearly everyone in his personal circle who built substantial wealth only to go broke experienced that downfall as a direct consequence of marital dissolution.
“I'm never going to get married. It's not about the marriage but the divorce pandemic happening. Everybody that I know that did well and went broke, it was because of a divorce. So I'm good just being free.”
— Tyler Perry
Perry, who shares an 11-year-old son with his former partner Gelila Bekele, noted that turning 57 has shifted his priorities toward personal peace, spending quality time with family, and stepping back from an overly demanding production schedule.
