Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre turned up the heat with a series of jaw-dropping photos that seem to confirm their rumored romance.
The multi-talented singer, actress, and director, 34, and the The Underground Railroad star, 30, set social media ablaze with their recent Oscars appearance, where they posed together in a series of sultry, James Bond-inspired shots that left fans convinced: these two are officially an item.
Teyana Taylor took to Instagram to share the black-and-white photos, captioning the post, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.” The images, set to the smooth sounds of SZA’s “Take You Down,” show the pair exuding undeniable chemistry. Teyana stuns in a sleek, backless dark gown, while Pierre looks dapper in a classic black tuxedo, white bowtie, and wire-rimmed glasses. One of the photos, which features the two pressing their backs against each other, sent fans into a frenzy, with many declaring it a “hard launch” of their relationship.
JT from City Girls got straight to the point in the comments section: “Sis y’all together? Please confirm!” And she wasn’t the only artist obsessing over these two in the comments. SZA gushed over the photos, writing that Teyana and Aaron look “fine and feline in the most mysterious way.” She added, “Giving lion and lionesss.” “

This isn’t the first time Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre have sparked dating rumors. Two weeks ago, the pair were spotted seated next to each other at the American Black Film Festival Honors (ABFF) in Los Angeles, where Pierre was honored with the Rising Star award. Their cozy appearance at the event had fans speculating about a possible romance, and the Oscars photoshoot seems to have all but confirmed it.
After Teyana’s breakup in 2023 with Iman Shumpert, the father of her daughters Iman “Junie,” 9, and Rue Rose, 4, she sparked speculation about a relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio when a video showed them getting cozy at a pre-Oscar party in 2024. Nevertheless, she later clarified the nature of their not-so-private moment.
Additionally, the ‘Mufasa’ actor and Teyana were at Vanity Fair’s Oscar afterparty on Sunday where they took a photo with actress Niecy Nash and her wife Jessica Betts.
