Inside the Love Lives of the ‘Boo! A Madea Halloween’ Cast (Including Who Proposed Back to Their Fiancé!)

Tyler Perry

Perry wrote, directed and produced Boo! A Madea Halloween. He also pulled triple duty as an actor, portraying Madea, Joe and Brian in the project.

The creator is not known to be romantically involved with anyone, but does share son Aman Tyler Perry with ex-girlfriend Gelila Bekele. The pair, who dated from 2007 to 2020, welcomed their only child together on Nov. 30, 2014.

During a Q&A with Gayle King at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, Perry shared how he and Bekele work together to make sure their son is humble.

“I think, when you have a team like Gelila and I are, she is very grounded and balanced at making sure he stays that way,” he said. “Because I have wrestled with, I want to give him everything, because I didn’t have it.”

Perry added, “We teach him about the struggle. We teach him about what a blessing it is to have anything! So he gets that, in this sense. And I want to make sure he maintains that.”

Diamond White

White, who plays Brian’s daughter Tiffany, appears to be single.

Speaking with The Detroit News in November 2016, White said that she and Perry were able to build a good rapport on set, despite their characters often being at odds.

“Even on set, Tyler was very playful with me and a lot of the lines that made it into the movie were improvised,” she said. “So it was fun being able to play around and be the brat because I realized that if I ever said those things to my mom, I would not still be alive.”

Cassi Davis and Kerry Patton

Davis has appeared in several of Perry’s projects and stars as Aunt Bam in Boo! A Madea Halloween.

The actress and her husband, Patton, tied the knot on Jan. 11, 2017, at the Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas. The pair are high school sweethearts who reunited later in life and mainly keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

“We met in the third grade, and of course, you grow up and you go your separate ways, and we were apart for about twenty years, and divinely God brought us back together in 2007,” Davis shared during an appearance on Ray Cornelius’s radio show Upfront in January 2017.

She continued, “You know, you think you’re committed and you say you’re committed, but life just has to live itself, and then afterwards, we’re good. And so now, we’re married.”

Patrice Lovely

Lovely, who portrays Madea’s friend Hattie, has never publicly spoken about her romantic relationships.

During an interview with MadameNoire in February 2019, Lovely said she often gets asked about whether she has children or a partner, but prefers to keep that information private.

“I’m gonna leave it like that because my life is my life. It’s my private life,” she said. “Just know that Patrice Lovely loves to love. I love people. I give from my heart.”

Bella Thorne and Mark Emms

Thorne, who plays Tiffany’s friend Rain, has been engaged to Emms since May 2023.

The pair dated for nine months before announcing their engagement. Thorne later told PEOPLE that Emms’ proposal ultimately brought the two closer together.

“Every day we kind of draw closer,” she said. “It’s really like, ‘Oh wow, we’re really, you’re my partner.’ Let’s do this together. So that kind of becomes more real every day, and kind of solidifies our partnership more and more every day.”

Thorne returned the gesture to Emms when she proposed to him in August 2025.

“3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, Now 1 year later so did I 🥴❤️,” Thorne wrote on Instagram alongside a video of her getting down on one knee.

Liza Koshy

Liza Koshy portrays Aday, another member of Tiffany’s friend group. She is not known to be romantically involved with anyone.

She was previously in a long term relationship with content creator David Dobrik. The two dated from 2015 until 2018, announcing their breakup in a YouTube video.

Speaking with Numéro Netherlands in February 2025, Koshy opened up about how Perry “entrusted my voice as a digital storyteller” and what she learned from him on set.

“I credit the genius that is Tyler Perry for gifting me my first acting job ever in 2016 in his film, Boo! A Madea Halloween,” she said. “As the writer, director, producer, star and improviser, Tyler Perry never yelled cut.”

She continued, “He kept the cameras rolling, the improv flowing and was the most present human being with each actor as their director, collaborator and newfound friend. I ripped pages out of his book.”

Lexy Panterra

Lexy Panterra, who plays Tiffany’s friend Leah, appears to be single.

On the red carpet of the film’s sequel in October 2017, Panterra told Black Hollywood Live she learned “how to be a damn boss” from Perry and commended his work ethic.

“He doesn’t mess around, and he’s very career-driven and oriented, and I very much look up to that,” she said.

A year later, Panterra was linked to Brooklyn Beckham, with a source telling PEOPLE in June 2018 that they had been dating for “a little while now.” However, their relationship quickly fizzled out.

Panterra was last known to be dating YouTuber Alex Wassabi from 2020 to 2021.

Yousef Erakat

Yousef Erakat, who portrays fraternity brother Jonathan, has kept his love life private.

The YouTuber opened up to The Wrap in October 2016 about how he adapted to being directed by Perry after filming videos on his own for many years.

“I had to definitely trust whatever he thought it was right,” he said. “The way he works, he works very fast, so there were times on set when I didn’t feel comfortable in my performance and he was like, ‘We’re moving on,’ meaning he got it. I had the trust from early on.”
