Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… Every year, we’re surprised with a jack-in-the-box celebrity couple, and this time around, it may be Marlo Hampton and Tyler Perry. Social media users are gagging over a video of the two looking like more than friends.
In the video of the two floating around on the internet, Marlo and Tyler can be seen cozying up next to one another at a fundraiser brunch hosted by Catherine Brewton, Vice President of Creative at Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI). The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has her hand wrapped around his arm while the two laugh without a care in the world.
According to sources, both parties allegedly arrived at the event separately but ended up seated next to one another.

There’s another picture circulating online of Hampton and Perry smooching, but some fans think it’s AI. Either way, people are here for it and wouldn’t mind seeing the TV personality and media mogul coupled up. We haven’t publicly seen the fashionista with a man, but in 2019, while appearing on The Wendy Williams Show, Hampton claimed to have dated a billionaire for five years. According to her, he gifted her a townhouse, which RHOA fans may recognize as “The Hamptons.”
As for Perry, the billionaire filmmaker is known to be private about his love life, so popping out with Hampton publicly would be out of the ordinary for him. He does have a son with his former longtime partner, Gelia Bekele, named Aman, born in 2014. The former couple called it quits in 2020 but are said to have a healthy co-parenting relationship. He hasn’t publicly dated anyone since.

And Perry has been open to love since the end of his last relationship.
“This is what a midlife crisis looks like. I’m 51, single and wondering what the next chapter in my life will look like,” Perry wrote on Instagram in 2020. “Whatever it looks like I’m going to walk with God, be the best father and man I can be, hold my head up high, and try to look my best doing it!!”
