Teyana Taylor Beams Over Aaron Pierre In New Interview: ‘I Feel Safe'
For the past few months,Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre have been setting the internet ablaze with their romance, which initially started as rumors and speculation but was ultimately confirmed.
Now, on the heels of her latest musical effort, Taylor is opening up about the couple's relationship.
In an interview with Complex to promote her upcoming visual EP Escape Room , Taylor gushed about the role that Pierre played in the creative process, but also how he navigates their relationship, allowing her to tap into her soft girl era.
'He damn near EP'd it. It felt good to have someone be as passionate and as serious as you are…To have someone on your side fully hear you and don't think that your visions are crazy,' she said of how Pierre was supportive of her creative process.
Speaking of their relationship dynamic, Taylor stated that Pierre handles her very delicately, something that she appreciates. 'I'm very big on how you handle me, and I feel like you gotta handle me like a cup of tea.'
'With a cup of tea you walk slower, you're more calm, you're more delicate,' Taylor continued. 'I feel like I am a cup of tea and I feel like he handles me as such. You know, he's very, very gentle. It allows me to feel warm and to feel safe, and not be in survival mode.'
In a June 2025 interview with GQ , Taylor shared similar sentiments about the actor, revealing how protective he is of her and their relationship.
'He's a real big music head and just how hands-on he's been on this album with me has been really amazing to see,' she told the outlet. 'You ever sit back and be like, 'This person don't play about me'? I was like, 'Yeah, you need to be my leading man, because you understand every single song, every single emotion, every single feeling, which is that, on set, you're going to bring it.''
Escape Room , led by the singles 'Long Time' and 'Bed of Roses,' is slated for an August release.

Congrats! Coco Jones And NBA Star Donovan Mitchell Announce Engagement
Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty Love is in the air, and R&B singer Coco Jones and Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell have plenty of reasons to enjoy summer, as the couple has officially announced their engagement. On Friday, July 11, Jones posted a photo of the newly engaged pair sharing a kiss against a sun-covered backdrop, as her left hand rested on his chest prominently showing off her sparkling diamond engagement ring. In a joint statement to PEOPLE , reps for the couple expanded upon the happy news. 'After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned it into a beautiful engagement,' the statement began. 'The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together,' the statement concluded. As of now, the pair have not yet announced a wedding date or any subsequent wedding plans. Jones has kept the details of her relationship with Mitchell relatively private. In April, when asked about her relationship during an interview with The Breakfast Club , she kept it simple, replying 'I'm happy and that's all I got to say about it.' Two months earlier, in February, the Grammy winner told Shannon Sharpe while appearing on Club Shay Shay that she likes to keep the details of her relationship to herself. 'I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere. I feel like I'm in a detective movie,' she said. But you know what, I'm happy. And I will say my music is the outlet that I use to tell most of my stories and my truth, and some things I keep for myself 'cause this is my life, too.' 'I think, for me, I'm trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family and whoever I love. So, yeah, I am more private,' Jones added. Congrats to the beautiful couple. SEE ALSO Congrats!
