While Pierre has remained private about his relationships over the years, Taylor has previously been candid about her marriage to basketball player Iman Shumpert, whom she divorced in January 2023 after seven years of marriage.
At the time, Taylor shared a post to Instagram to assure her followers that her relationship with Shumpert — which was featured on VH1's Teyana and Iman in 2018 as well as in numerous other TV series — will remain "best friends" and are successfully co-parenting their two daughters, Iman "Junie" Tayla Shumpert Jr., 9, and Rue Rose Shumpert, 4.
"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 on Instagram.

Despite Pierre's silence about his past relationships, he and his fellow Mufasa castmates have jokingly acknowledged his newfound status as an internet heartthrob. In January, actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. took to TikTok in a hilarious video to poke fun at how Pierre had become a viral sensation while promoting the movie.
The nine-second clip begins with Harrison Jr. looking directly into the camera, saying, 'I'm giving the people what they want.' He then pans the camera to reveal Pierre scrolling on his phone, blissfully unaware that he's being filmed. When Pierre finally looks up, the pair burst into laughter. 'You're welcome,' Harrison Jr. captioned the post.
Representatives for Taylor and Pierre did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Ricki Lake Reveals Her Cosmetic Procedures
Raise your hand if you watched episodes of Ricki Lake from 1993—2004 when you were sick and stayed home from school. 🙋 Ricki Lake was back on TV, this time on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and he couldn't get over how she looks, which prompted a very candid response. The former talk show host, 56, was on the June 12 episode of WWHL talking about the loss she experienced during the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year, when she revealed she switched up her look after she struggled with hair loss six years ago. In 2019, Ricki took "a brave ass leap of faith" and shaved her hair after secretly struggling with androgenic hair loss. She shared raw video footage of the process in 2022. Ricki shared that once she cut her hair, she never colored it again, and then her hair grew back with this natural color. "I've also had, and I'll reveal this to you [although] I've told other people," Ricki said. "I've had a lower face and neck lift." Andy gave Ricki another compliment, to which she replied, "Thank you, I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen," Lake replied. "And my doctor, let me give a shout out because he's a genius." "Dr. Allen Foulad is the best, and I've sent many people to him." Andy teased that he was heading for LA next, saying a lot of guests on WWHL had plastic surgery, so he's seen his fair share. Ricki pulled her hair back to show no visible scars, explaining why she was okay with sharing. "I love that I can talk about it. I'm fully transparent, always have been," she said. "I don't want there to be any stigma. This is something that was bothering me." "I lost a lot of weight and had this certain thing hanging and I had it fixed," Ricki said. Ricki joins a roster of popular TV personalities who've recently shared their plastic surgery and cosmetic journeys. Earlier this month, two of the stars of The Kardashians revealed the surgeon behind their plastic surgery. Responding to a TikTok, Kylie revealed the exact procedure and doctor (Garth Fisher) who performed her breast augmentation. When Dr. Fisher took to his Instagram to share his appreciation for Kylie sharing the news, while noting that his practice adheres to HIPAA law and confidentiality for its clients, Kris Jenner responded by sharing her own story. Kris wrote, "Garth you are such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!! ❤️🙏🏼" On June 5, Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran joined in with an extensive list of all her specific surgical and cosmetic procedures and her beauty regimen. In an Instagram captioned, Heard the cool kids were sharing their plastic surgery secrets ➡️," Barbara shared she had three facelifts, a neck lift, an eye lift, a brow lift, filler, laser work, and more. I wonder who'll share next!

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Relationship Update June 2025
Taylor Swift is enjoying her time off after finishing her record-breaking Eras Tour last year. The tour launched in 2023 and made history as the highest-grossing tour ever with over $2 billion in ticket sales. It was comprised of 149 shows and took Taylor all across the globe, from the US and Canada to Asia and Latin America, before concluding in December. Since then, she's been spending quality time with Travis Kelce, whom she began dating in 2023, and as the upcoming NFL season approaches, sources say she's also looking forward to supporting him on the sidelines. A source tells People, "Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule." Of course, Taylor managed to attend Travis's games even in the midst of the tour, like when she memorably supported him at the 2024 Super Bowl, where he and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers. But, as the source said, it was challenging. "The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible," the source shared, adding, "It wasn't easy, but they made it work." And now that the tour is over, the source said Taylor is "genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently." "This fall will be completely different," the source continued. "Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible. They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change." The source added that it's also "a chance for them to settle into more of a routine" and that Taylor and Travis are "both really happy about that." Aww! Can't wait to see her at the games! (Let's just hope the crowds are a little nicer this time.)
