Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre’s buzzy romance appears to be over. According to industry insiders, the singer, actress, and fashion force and the fast-rising actor have quietly gone their separate ways after months of public appearances and undeniable chemistry.
Sources tell Page Six that the two are no longer together, though the exact timing and reason behind the split remain unclear. The pair first ignited dating rumors in February 2025 when they were spotted together at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles, instantly becoming one of Hollywood’s most talked-about new couples.
Their relationship quickly heated up in the public eye. Just weeks later, Taylor and Pierre stepped out together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, turning heads with their close connection. Fans were already buzzing by then, especially after Pierre appeared in Taylor’s 2025 visual album Escape Room, where the two shared a steamy on-screen kiss that fueled even more speculation.
By June, the romance seemed official. Taylor marked Pierre’s birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post, and the couple made a polished red carpet appearance together at the BET Awards. Still, Taylor remained guarded when asked to define their relationship, telling The Hollywood Reporter that she viewed their connection as a “safe space” rather than labeling it outright.
She later leaned into the attention during a playful lie detector segment with Kim Kardashian for Vanity Fair, joking about bedroom rumors tied to Pierre’s role as the voice of Mufasa in a 2024 animated film. Taylor laughed off the idea, admitting they joked about it but insisting she never actually called him that behind closed doors.
Before dating Pierre, Taylor was married to former NBA star Iman Shumpert. The two finalized their divorce in 2024 and share two children. Pierre, meanwhile, keeps his personal life largely private, though he reportedly has a son from a previous relationship.
Despite the rumored breakup, both stars are riding major career highs. Taylor’s album Escape Room earned her first-ever Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, and her performance in One Battle After Another landed her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Pierre is also gaining serious momentum, earning a Gotham Television Award nomination for his work in Rebel Ridge.
As of now, neither Taylor nor Pierre has publicly commented on the breakup rumors. For fans who followed their whirlwind romance closely, the sudden silence is only adding fuel to the speculation.
