As indicated by the New York Post daily paper's Page Six segment, a source said:

'' Tyler Perry has had to start getting used to not getting a lot of sleep, because his life was about to change in a big way. Some of you know what I'm talking about.''  -  Said the source.

The news follows rumours that Gelila, 28, was expecting. The rumour spread after close friends of the couple accidentally posted messages of congratulations on social media, with one even posting a picture of the mother-to-be and commenting that she was seven months along and expecting a boy, before the image was quickly deleted.

Tyler - who is yet to affirm the news - has previously expressed his desire to turn into a father however demanded he didn't have sufficient energy for parenthood.

Last year he said: ''I know I would be a great father. I don't want to work this hard, I don't want to have all this and not leave it to my children. I also know, that as hard as I'm working, doing 20 hours a day, now is not the time.''
