According to Page Six, the popular stars have parted ways after dating for less than a year. Though breakup rumors had been bubbling on social media for a few days, no official confirmation has been made, leaving fans speculating about the status of one of Hollywood’s favorite couples.
Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre first shattered the internet in February 2025 after they were spotted together at the Fifteen Percent Pledge gala in Los Angeles, followed by an appearance at ABFF Honors, where Taylor accompanied Pierre for his career recognition.
Their relationship heated up in March when Taylor posted a viral black-and-white Instagram photo captioned, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area,” many labeled as a soft launch. By June 2025, fans were obsessing about the heartwarming surprise as Taylor hosted a private dinner for the actor’s 31st birthday. She also shared a heartfelt post, affectionately referring to him as “Woody,” a personal nickname, and included a photo, fueling speculation that their relationship was official.
Earlier this summer, Taylor released a hot and steamy visual for her latest album, “Escape Room,” featuring her boo, Aaron Pierre.
The announcement came as a major surprise, especially as it followed Taylor’s very public split from her ex-husband, former NBA star and actor Iman Shumpert, with whom she shares two daughters, Iman “Junie” and Rue Rose Shumpert. While Pierre has been tight-lipped about his relationship history, it’s known that he shares a son with a former partner.
While it’s heartbreaking to hear the couple may have ended their adored relationship, some social media users never bought into it. Many are speculating it could have been a publicity stunt.
“Its interesting timing that this is happening,” Pop culture commentator Kempire noted. “Maybe someone is going to come out with a new relationship, and they want to get ahead of the story. Or maybe the contract is up on this particular relationship, because I’ve seen those rumors that people have speculated this is just a relationship to up the ante for both of them.”
Viewers flooded the comment section with their thoughts.
“They were cute, but I wasn’t buying it,” one TikTok user wrote.
“They never even claimed each other. Teyana said they were good friends,” another added.
Others weren’t surprised at all.
“We need to be really honest, these two were not it,” a third commented.
Over on Threads, reactions were just straight up with no chaser:
One user posted: “Unpopular opinion: Aaron Pierre and Teyana Taylor didn’t even look good together. Whew, there I said it.”
On X, one user shared an interesting take: “The moral of the story is stop dating, take your time to focus on your kids, and leave men alone, they are embarrassing.”
At the moment, neither Taylor nor Pierre has released an official statement regarding the breakup rumors”
