Perry's only child, Aman Perry, was born on Nov. 30, 2014. The name Aman means "peace," and also represents "the true meaning of Thanksgiving, and of course the holiday season," a source close to Perry told People shortly after Aman's birth.

Tyler Perry only has one child, his son Aman Perry. The 55-year-old Hollywood icon welcomed his first and only child in 2014 and has yet to have another child. Tyler Perry keeps Aman largely out of the limelight and very few photos of the child are available online. How old is Tyler Perry's son, Aman Perry?
Aman's mother is model, filmmaker and activist Gelila Bekele. She and Perry dated from 2014 to 2020, but remain close friends and committed to raising their son together, despite having broken up.
"I think, when you have a team like Gelila and I are, she is very grounded and balanced at making sure he stays that way. Because I want to give him everything, because I didn't have it," he said during a 2022 Q&A with Gayle King at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"I want him to know what it's like to have his own name and his own life and not have the pressure of trying to live up to whatever or whoever your father was," he said.
Aman flies coach when the family travels
"For about four years, he flew with her commercial in coach so that he could understand," Perry told the outlet. "We both are very clear-eyed about him not being this spoiled kid," Perry adds. "And when you start seeing hints of that, that's got to be nipped in the bud right away."
Aman may have to fly commercial when he travels, but he can at least brag about his cool godparents. The late Cecily Tyson and the ultimate gift-giver Oprah Winfrey are godparents to Tyler Perry's little boy.
"My son's not online and things like that, he doesn't have an iPad," the producer revealed. "He gets to watch some things on the iPad, maybe 30 minutes every now and then, but the books. [Winfrey] sends great gifts."
Does Tyler Perry have any godchildren?
Tyler Perry is also a famous godparent in his own right. He is godfather to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Lilibet Diana. Perry's godparent status was revealed in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.
Perry told Kelly Ripa during a 2023 appearance on her Let's Talk Off-Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast that he calls his goddaughter "Little Lili."
