"This is what a midlife crisis looks like," Perry wrote. "I’m 51, single and wondering what the next chapter in my life will look like."

The famed director, writer and producer -- who shares son Aman, 6, with model Gelila Bekele -- said no matter what the future may bring, he will "walk with God, be the best father and man I can be, hold my head up high, and try to look my best doing it!!"

"In a world with so much sadness, please try and stay in the good!" he concluded. "Merry Christmas and let’s look forward to 2021 bringing us peace!"

In the post's comments, Perry received tons of encouraging words and prayer emojis from actors Mario Lopez and Meagan Good, singer Stephanie Mills and models Eva Marcille and Tabria Majors, among others.
