Teyana Taylor appears to be extending warmth and admiration toward actor Aaron Pierre in the days following news of their breakup. The singer, actress and creative director has been publicly linked with Pierre for much of 2025, but sources say the relationship quietly ended after less than a year together.
Fans first noticed the duo’s connection in early 2025, after they attended high-profile events together and shared affectionate moments on social media. Taylor and Pierre made their relationship Instagram-official in June with a birthday tribute to the actor. She wrote, “Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins,” while he responded warmly, “Now and always. Thank you Tey.”
In interviews last year, Taylor publicly spoke about the closeness she felt with Pierre. “I’m very big on how you handle me,” she said. “I feel like he handles me like a cup of tea … he’s very, very gentle. It allows me to feel warm and to feel safe.”
Despite the end of the couple’s romantic relationship, Taylor’s recent public actions suggest respect and appreciation remain. Insiders note that she has continued to engage with Pierre’s social media and has publicly acknowledged his support during key moments of her career.
The split comes after months of speculation that the couple’s busy schedules and high-profile careers strained their connection. Neither Taylor nor Pierre has publicly announced the breakup, but multiple outlets have confirmed the pair is no longer together.
A Supportive Chapter Ends, Publicly
Taylor’s career has been on an upward trajectory, with her multi-faceted project Escape Room garnering attention for its creative ambition and emotional depth. That work featured Pierre in the music video for her song “Long Time,” where his onscreen presence carried symbolic weight.
Taylor has also spoken about how willingness to love without defenses shaped her outlook on relationships. “I walk a straight line unarmored, and I walk a straight line ready to receive whatever is mine to hold,” she told a television host last year.
Observers see Taylor’s demeanor since the split as emblematic of that philosophy. While the romantic element of their partnership may be over, the mutual admiration that defined much of their time together seems to persist.
