Tyler Perry is relocating in 2027, but where is he going?
Tyler Perry has revealed that he's moving to Puerto Rico in 2027.
Tyler Perry is set to relocate to Puerto Rico in 2027.
The 57-year-old filmmaker has announced that he plans to swap the US for Puerto Rico early next year.
Asked if he ever plans to "chill out" in his career, Tyler said on Today with Jenna and Sheinelle: "Yep, moving to Puerto Rico at the top of the year, and I’m pulling back a whole lot."
Tyler - who has an 11-year-old son called Aman - admitted that he's more aware of his own age than ever before.
The billionaire feels it's "time to slow down a bit" in his working life.
Tyler - who has written and produced many stage plays during the course of his career - explained: "Getting older [inspired this]. It’s time to slow down a bit, enjoy more time with my son and just take it all in."
The filmmaker shares his son with ex-girlfriend Gelila Bekele, and Tyler admits that he has no intention of ever tying the knot.
He said: "At this age, no, that’s not a good idea for me. So no, won’t be any marriage for me."
Meanwhile, Tyler previously admitted that he's faced huge challenges during the course of his career.
The producer explained that he hit rock bottom before climbing to the top of his industry.
He told AARP: "It was the early ’90s, here in Atlanta. I had this dream of being a playwright, and I had written a play called I Know I’ve Been Changed, which was about child abuse survivors and the power of prayer.
"I was working as a bill collector, and I had saved $12,000. I spent all my money to put this play up, and it didn’t work. I lost it all. After that, I tried again — many, many times — to produce the play. I would get different jobs between those times, but I’d quit to work on the play, and I ended up homeless.
"For three months, I lived in a Geo Metro that I was hiding from the repo man. The despair, the suicidal thoughts, the overwhelming feeling of not wanting to live in that kind of moment — that was real."
