Teyana Taylor took to Instagram to wish actor Aaron Pierre a happy 31st birthday, but it wasn’t just the sweet caption that had everyone talking.
Teyana Taylor has just sent the internet into a full-blown frenzy, and it’s all because of a birthday wish that has everyone screaming, “Hard launch!” She didn’t just wish Aaron Pierre a happy birthday; she did it with the sweetest, most intimate pictures and a caption that has fans gushing.
“Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. 🌹 H” AP” PY BIRTHDAY Woody,” she captioned the adorable snaps, seemingly confirming what many have suspected for months.
The photos Teyana shared are pure relationship goals. In one particular image, Teyana, rocking a dark top and a delicate necklace, has her eyes playfully closed, making a “pucker” face as if blowing a kiss. Her hand rests gently against her chin, adding to the affectionate vibe. Aaron Pierre, standing close by, is beaming slightly, looking directly at the camera, leaning into Teyana’s face. The soft, warm lighting in the background creates an intimate, cozy atmosphere that screams romance.
These two have been sparking romance rumors for months, especially after they appeared together in a series of glamorous pics at the 2025 Oscars. Remember when the A Thousand and One star seemingly responded to a sexy snap from the Mufasa: The Lion King actor on her Instagram Stories back in April, writing, “on di wey” with an exhaling emoji? That was just the beginning of the buzz!
Soon after those initial whispers, Teyana herself fueled the fire by posting images from the Oscars where she was striking James-Bond-esque poses with Aaron. “Oscar Night in black & white, no grey area. 🤍” she captioned those captivating images, with SZA’s “Take You Down” playing in the background. And Aaron didn’t hold back either, posting images with Teyana on his personal Instagram page, though he kept his caption-free.
Fans have been playing detective for a while now, suspecting something was up between the handsome duo since as far back as last month. They were spotted sharing a table and in deep conversation at the American Black Film Festival Honors on February 17. Both incredibly talented artists were honored with the Rising Star award that very night! Plus, the Mufasa actor and Taylor were seen together at Vanity Fair’s exclusive Oscar afterparty, even posing with actress Niecy Nash and her wife, Jessica Betts.
If these two are officially dating, this marks a significant new chapter for Teyana Taylor. It would be her first public relationship since she announced she was calling it quits with her ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, in 2023, after seven years of marriage.
The former couple share two adorable daughters, Iman “Junie,” who is nine, and Rue Rose, who is four.
