Teyana Taylor, a performer, and basketball player Iman Shumpert have split up just seven years after getting married.
Taylor revealed the breakup on Instagram in September 2023, stating that it was not due to adultery but rather to other concerns in their marriage.
The divorce has been finalized as of Tuesday. The pair had been together for ten years and married for seven years. Their admirers saw them as a symbol of black love, and they were widely regarded as the industry’s hottest couple.
With their divorce news, we take a look back at the important moments that made their journey unforgettable:
The NBA player and the Gonna Love Me hitmaker met in 2013 and started out as friends before developing a love relationship.
During their baby shower in 2015, Shumpert dropped on one knee and proposed. In the same year, the couple had their first child, Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr.
A year after their child’s birth, the couple announced that they would marry in a private ceremony in 2016.
In 2017, the pair announced that they would be showcasing their love in their reality series Teyana and Iman, which will give audiences a deeper look at their life together.
In a promotional video for their reality program, they declare that it is crucial to be a positive reflection of black love and to promote love, which is exactly what they will accomplish on the show.
Taylor and Shumpert announced their second pregnancy in 2020 via Taylor’s music video. Taylor’s second daughter, Rue Rose Shumpert, was born that same year.
The duo went on to host a second reality show on E! called We Got Love Teyana and Iman in 2021.
