Tyler Perry reached out
to the couple when they first moved to the United States and even let them stay
in his home in Beverly Hills.
The actor joined
SiriusXM’s Sway In The Morning with Heather B and Tracy G to discuss
his new movie A Jazzman’s Blues, and during his conversation with
host Sway Calloway, Perry discusses the unexpected friendship he formed with
the former Suits actress and how much Meghan and Harry love one another.
Giving an insight into the
couple away from the spotlight, he said: “I’m gonna tell you something.
Those two people love each other. I’m seeing it up close. And you can’t
fool me. I got the Holy Ghost. You can’t fool me. I know what’s real. They
really genuinely love each other. So I’m just so happy to see where they are
now.”
The actor and filmmaker have
often spoken of his close friendship with the Sussexes which developed after
they moved to the States.
Tyler shared his insight into Meghan and Harry’s relationship
On Meghan’s birthday in August,
Tyler paid a heartfelt tribute to her on social media, sharing a lovely photo
of the mother-of-two whilst on a visit to South Africa in 2019, where the
Duchess can be seen in the snap crouching down whilst kissing the hand of a
little girl.
Tyler’s message read:
“I’ve had a front row seat in your life for the past few years. I’ve
watched you endure things that would have broken a lot of people. I’m so
incredibly proud to see how happy you, your husband, and your kids are now. It
fills me with joy to say Happy Birthday Princess Meghan.”
Opening up about their stay at
Tyler’s in their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Meghan explained
that the star had also offered his “security” while they were staying
there after their UK taxpayer-funded protection was removed in line with their
decision to step down as senior royals.
