Tyler Perry Is Going To Be A Father For The First Time.

The 45-year-old writer, producer, director and actor will welcome his first child with his on and off Ethiopian model, humanitarian and social activist girlfriend of five years Gelila Bekele.

In a true Tyler Perry twist, the baby is due in about a month!

E! Online's Marc Malkin confirmed the news after speaking to a guest of Perry's birthday party in Georgia this weekend. They revealed to Malkin, "He said he had to start getting used to not getting a lot of sleep because his life was about to change in a big way. He said, "Some of you know what I'm talking about."'

Just last year, Perry talked about wanting to be a dad on Steve Harvey, saying, "I know I would be a great father. I don't want to work this hard. I don't want to have all of this and not leave it to my children. As hard as I'm working , doing 20 hours a day, now is not the time," he revealed.

According to the guest, Harvey's 28-year-old companion is "seven or eight months pregnant" already.

Congrats Tyler! I don't want baby daddy's drama for you man. LOL
