AceShowbiz - Amid the glitz and glam of the Oscars 2025, Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre have seemingly made their romance official. The "Gonna Love Me" singer and the "Lion King" actor fuelled speculation about their relationship with a stylish photo carousel posted on Instagram.
Both Taylor, 34, and Pierre, 30, were photographed individually at the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party, but their black-and-white Instagram photoshoot told a different story. "Oscar night in black & white, no grey area. ðŸ¤" Taylor captioned the photos, which featured her in an elegant black gown and Pierre in a crisp tuxedo.
This public display comes nearly two years after Taylor's separation from ex-husband Iman Shumpert. During their seven-year marriage, they had two daughters, Iman Tayla, 9, and Rue Rose, 4. Despite the split, Taylor emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a healthy friendship.
"We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our two beautiful children," Taylor wrote in a September 2023 Instagram post.
Taylor, in a previous post, made it clear that infidelity was not a reason for her separation from Shumpert. "To be 1000% clear, 'infidelity' ain't one of the reasons for our departure," she stated. "We just keep y'all butts out of the group chat lol, which is the reason we've been able to successfully and peacefully separate without all of the outside noise."
In the glamorous snapshots from the Oscars after-party, Taylor donned a striking black gown with a large cutout in the back and metallic heels while Pierre complemented her look with a classic black tuxedo by LOEWE and gold framed glasses.
Pierre, who gained fame for voicing young Mufasa in "Mufasa: The Lion King" and Taylor were seen together at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala before the Oscars weekend. Prior to their budding romance, speculation swirled around Taylor's relationships, including a brief link to Leonardo DiCaprio.
This budding romance with Aaron Pierre marks an exciting new chapter for Teyana Taylor. As fans eagerly watch this story unfold, the pair's glamorous debut at the Oscars is a moment to remember, capturing both the charm of Hollywood and the power of new romance.
