Tyler Perry to Move to Puerto Rico and Pull Back From Work

He says fatherhood, therapy, age motivate him to slow his career to spend more time with his son.

Overview

  • Perry told TODAY on Monday that he is officially relocating to Puerto Rico in early 2027 and plans to “pull back a whole lot” from his longrunning production schedule.
  • He said he will move with his 11-year-old son, Aman, and that spending time with his child has helped him work through childhood trauma.
  • Perry has credited beginning therapy at 54 with changing his views on love and life, and he framed the move as a personal step to enjoy fatherhood and rest.
  • The announcement came after the Sept. 9 Netflix release of Why Did I Get Married Again?, a film whose cast said was shot in just four days and that underlines Perry’s historically rapid production pace.
  • Media reports note two multi‑million dollar lawsuits from last year alleging sexual misconduct that Perry denies, and coverage has not detailed how the move will affect his Atlanta studio, business arrangements, or tax status.
