The Breakdown: From high-profile relationships to her marriage and divorce from Iman Shumpert, Teyana Taylor has experienced both the highs and lows of romance. Now, with rumors of a new relationship, fans are eager to see what’s next for her.

Teyana Taylor has been in the public eye for decades. We've watched her grow from a young girl into a woman, mother, and wife. From her appearance on My Super Sweet 16 in 2007 to her music, dancing, and most recently, her marriage and divorce from Iman Shumpert in 2024—Teyana’s journey has been one to follow. Now, she's back on the scene with a new man. But before we dive into the present, let’s take a look at Teyana Taylor’s dating history.

Brandon Jennings was Teyana’s first love. She previously shared that she lost her virginity to her ex-fiancé two years into their engagement. Their relationship reached a fiery end after Teyana discovered that Brandon had been unfaithful. Despite his infidelity, she states that she has no regrets about their relationship.

Colin Kaepernick and Teyana were rumored to be dating, according to speculation on the internet. A few hints fueled the suspicion, such as Teyana being spotted at Colin’s dentist’s office. While they were never photographed together, one picture shows Teyana posing with the office's staff, and another features Colin at the same location.

Another instance that sparked rumors was a selfie Teyana took on a couch with the same pattern as one in Colin’s photo. However, neither of them ever confirmed or denied the relationship, leaving it up in the air, especially since they have never been publicly seen together or captured in a photo side-by-side.

Iman and Teyana first met in 2011 at an outing and became friends. A few years later, in 2014, their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship. By 2015, the couple was engaged, and in December of that year, they welcomed their first daughter, Iman Tayla “Junie” Shumpert Jr. They privately tied the knot in 2016.

In 2020, they welcomed their second daughter, Rue Rose Shumpert. The following year, in 2021, Teyana filed for divorce but later reconsidered and withdrew the filing. However, in 2023, she filed for divorce again and followed through with it. By 2024, their divorce was finalized after seven years of marriage.

Many have wondered why she filed not once but twice. According to Teyana, Iman displayed narcissistic traits was emotionally and mentally abusive, and jealousy played a role in their relationship struggles.

Aaron Pierre, also known by the internet as "Mufasa," and Teyana Taylor are allegedly dating. On March 4th, Teyana posted pictures of herself and Aaron at the Oscars, captioning them, "Oscar night in black and white, no grey." Aaron also shared the same photos without a caption, suggesting the two may be a couple.

While the couple has yet to officially confirm, they have been spotted together multiple times, including at Vanity Fair's Oscar party. In several photos, they are seen standing close to each other in a seemingly affectionate manner, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
