Tyrese Gibson has found love with beauty entrepreneur Zelie Timothy after his divorce!
Mona Kosar Abdi of “Extra” spoke to Tyrese, who has been dating Zelie since 2021.
He said: “I was too old to go to clubs. I was too old to DM new girls every week and get into that rat race, and God sent me someone very special.”
Someone else special in Tyrese’s life: his “Fast & Furious” buddy Scott Eastwood!
The two worked together on “1992,” a film about a major money heist set against the backdrop of the Rodney King verdict and the LA riots.
Tyrese said, “I was on the phone with Ariel Vromen and he was like, ‘Man, we’re trying to find someone to play Ray Liotta’s son.’ I said, ‘I’m here with Scott Eastwood right now.’ ‘Seriously? Get him on the phone.’ He was cast.”
The film is released on the same day as his new album, “Beautiful Pain,” which was inspired by the painful loss of his mother and two sisters, as well as his “1992” co-star Ray Liotta and his ongoing grief over the loss of Paul Walker and John Singleton.
He commented: “I was able to find beauty in my pain. This is the most vulnerable thing I have ever done in my life.”
“1992” and “Beautiful Pain” both come out on Friday.
