Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre seem to have officially confirmed their romance, and they did it in style at the 2025 Oscars! The stunning singer, known for her hit song “Gonna Love Me,” and the talented actor from “Mufasa: The Lion King” shared a series of photos from the star-studded event on Instagram. The images, captioned “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area,” showed the pair facing each other and then standing back-to-back, leaving no room for doubt about their relationship status. The photos were taken during the prestigious award show, and the chemistry between them was undeniable. Taylor, 34, and Pierre, 30, looked absolutely incredible, and their outfits were nothing short of jaw-dropping.
For the glamorous event, Taylor opted for a black gown that turned heads. The dress featured a daring cutout in the back, a plunging neckline, and a slit that added a touch of sensuality. She paired the ensemble with metallic heels, completing the look with elegance and sophistication. On the other hand, Pierre kept it classic with a sleek black tuxedo by LOEWE, accessorizing with a white bowtie and gold-framed glasses. Together, they exuded confidence and style, making them one of the most talked-about couples of the night. While their reps haven’t officially commented, the photos speak volumes about their relationship.
The post quickly garnered attention, and fans as well as celebrities couldn’t help but express their excitement. Kim Kardashian simply commented with a black heart emoji, while Taraji P. Henson poured on the love with multiple heart and fire emojis, writing “YES MA’AM!!!!!!!!!!!!” Lori Harvey also chimed in, saying “Niceeeeee 😂🥰🤍,” and Yvonne Orji added, “Okayyyyy nooowww! 🤎🤎🤎.” Jodie Turner-Smith even joked, “IT’S RIGHT HERE IN BLACK & WHITE HONEYYYYYYY [sic] 🥰🥰🥰.” The outpouring of support and enthusiasm from their friends and fans only added to the buzz surrounding the couple.
Interestingly, while Taylor and Pierre didn’t walk the Vanity Fair Oscars 2025 afterparty red carpet together, they did pose for photos inside the event. Taylor switched up her look for the afterparty, opting for a fiery red sheer bodysuit paired with a matching skirt. She and Pierre were joined by Niecy Nash and her wife, Jessica Betts, making for a fun and glamorous group photo. This wasn’t the first time the two had been spotted together, though. Earlier in February, Pierre had shared photos of the pair attending the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
Before Pierre, Taylor was previously linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio in October 2024 after they were seen dancing closely at a New York City club. However, it seems she’s now moved on and found love with the “Rebel Ridge” star. Taylor has been through her fair share of high-profile relationships in the past, including her marriage to former NBA player Iman Shumpert from 2016 until their split in 2023. The two share two beautiful daughters, Junie, 9, and Rue, 4, and have maintained a positive co-parenting relationship despite their separation. Taylor made it clear at the time that their breakup wasn’t due to infidelity, stating, “We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children.”
With their chemistry, style, and the support of their friends and fans, it’s clear that Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre are making waves as a couple. Whether they’re attending high-profile events or simply spending time together, they seem to be enjoying each other’s company, and the world is loving every minute of it. As they continue to navigate their budding relationship, one thing is certain: Teyana and Aaron are a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the red carpet. Here’s to seeing more of this stunning pair in the future!
