‘Sealed with a kiss': Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre's romance is Insta-official
Singer Teyana Taylor (34) and rising star Aaron Pierre (31), the London-born actor best known for his roles in Rebel Ridge and Mufasa: The Lion King, have made their long-rumoured relationship official with a kiss at Aaron's 31st birthday party in Los Angeles.
This is Teyana's first public relationship since she divorced NBA star Iman Shumpert (34) in 2023. The exes have two daughters, Junie (9) and Rue (4).

Although Teyana and Aaron have been spotted together in recent months neither would confirm if they were in a relationship, until the video of their birthday smooch.
In the clip, Aaron enters the venue as his friends shout 'surprise!' and he leans in and kisses the actress.
The couple were first sighted together at the American Black Film Festival Honors in February, and the following month Teyana posted a striking black-and-white photo of them at the Oscars with the caption, 'Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.'
This post had fans wondering if the model and dancer was hinting at a new relationship, but she was keeping mum.

On Aaron's birthday she posted pics of them with the caption, 'Cheers to Thirty-Won & many more wins around the sun.'
In another photo, Teyana blows a kiss as the actor tilts his head towards her, smiling, and in a third snap, she's seated as he stands between her legs, looking lovingly at her.
Aaron responded to her birthday message saying, 'Now and always. Thank you, Tey'.
Fellow celebs, including actress Taraji P Henson, have shown their support for the couple, with Taraji commenting 'Soooo good babe' on Teyana's post, and actress Gabrielle Union-Wade demonstrating her approval with a string of heart emojis.
The couple have been mixing business and pleasure too – last week Teyana dropped the sexy music video for her new single, Long Time, which features her new beau.
