Are Tyler Perry and Janet Jackson dating?

Last year was very tough for Janet Jackson. It was preparing to be a big year as she had signed on to star in Why Did I Get Married, Too? The film served as a sequel to the original film created by Tyler Perry. But, the death of her older brother placed the film on hiatus.

Not only did Janet Jackson lose her brother, but she would soon end her relationship with Jermaine Dupri. With everything going on, she felt that her relationship could not survive. Despite breaking things off with Dupri, they would remain friends. They even worked together on the soundtrack for this film.

While she was going through her tough times, Janet Jackson turned to Tyler Perry for comfort. She began seeing Perry, but not in a romantic way. Recently, Jackson appeared on "The Tyler Perry Show," and she told Perry that she did not know where she would be without him.

Dating back to last summer, Janet Jackson has not had a male relationship in her life. Meanwhile, there have been many questions about Tyler Perry and his sexuality. While he was able to prove that he was not gay, Perry denied being in a public relationship. There have been times when Perry admitted to being in a relationship with someone "special," but he has never announced a lady in his life. Recently, Perry said that he was seeing someone. When he was asked of who he was seeing, Tyler Perry said that he was not going to tell who it was. It is possible that he and Janet Jackson have been dating ever since 2007.
