Movie mogul<\/a> Tyler Perry<\/a> has revealed that he plans to move to Puerto Rico at the beginning of 2027\u2014as he prepares to “slow down” his famously demanding work schedule.<\/p>\n

Perry opened up about his future while appearing on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle,”<\/a> revealing that he and his 11-year-old son, Aman, will soon be trading California<\/a> for Puerto Rico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Yep, moving to Puerto Rico at the top of the year, and I\u2019m pulling back a whole lot,” Perry shared when asked about his plans for the next chapter of his life.<\/p>\n

Perry, who celebrated his 57th birthday last week, explained that relocating had long been in the back of his mind. However, getting older prompted him to take a closer look at his priorities\u2014and reconsider just how much of his life he wants to devote to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting older [inspired this]. It\u2019s time to slow down a bit, enjoy more time with my son, and just take it all in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The A-lister, who shares his son with Gelila Bekele, whom he was in a relationship with from 2009 to 2020, further confessed that he doesn’t ever plan on getting married.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this age, no, that\u2019s not a good idea for me. So no, won\u2019t be any marriage for me,” he added. <\/p>\n

Although Perry has confirmed that he will make the move, its unclear if he will sell any of the homes in his impressive property portfolio.<\/p>\n

Perry holds the keys to an impressive 1,200-acre property in Atlanta, which he snapped up in 2018 and constructed a 35,000-square-foot mansion on, in addition to a second property. <\/p>\n

The home features a resort-style pool and a farm with horses and other animals.<\/p>\n

The property is also situated just a few miles from his studios, which span 330 acres.<\/p>\n

Tyler Perry Studios boasts a replica of the White House, an airport terminal, two baseball fields, a strip mall, a residential neighborhood, and a golf course.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in California, Perry owns a 22-acre Beverly Ridge estate, which he picked up for $4.3 million in 2004. <\/p>\n

He spent several years overhauling the home into the 24,000-square-foot dwelling it is today. <\/p>\n

The property comes with eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and has hosted several A-listers, including Barack Obama<\/a>, Oprah<\/a>, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perry welcomed Meghan and Harry into the home in 2020 after they stepped down from their royal duties.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Perry’s kind gesture, Markle told Oprah, “We needed a house and he offered security as well. So it gave us breathing room to try to figure out what we are going to do.” <\/p>\n

Later, the couple repaid the film producer by making him godfather to their daughter, Lilibet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to take a minute to take that in, and I thought, ‘I\u2019d be honored. I\u2019d absolutely be honored,'” Perry said.<\/p>\n

Over in Wyoming, Perry owns a log cabin as a vacation home, which he snapped up in 2005. <\/p>\n

In 2009, Perry gave himself a particularly extravagant birthday present when he purchased White Bay Cay in the Bahamas, along with a neighboring island.<\/p>\n

White Bay Cay spans around 25 acres, while the adjacent island adds 7 more acres to Perry’s secluded escape.<\/p>\n

The two had been listed together for $7 million, although the amount Perry ultimately paid was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

Perry told People that he even took flying lessons so he could pilot his own plane to the property.<\/p>\n

He later outfitted his island escape with a Balinese-style villa and bungalows, creating a private getaway worthy of a Hollywood mogul.<\/p>\n
