Actor Aaron Pierre is speaking candidly about his relationship with singer and actress Teyana Taylor, describing her as “someone who I love” in a rare public interview. The London-born star, 31, shared his thoughts with Men’s Health just one month after making his official red carpet debut with Taylor at the premiere of her film One Battle After Another on September 16, 2025.

Red Carpet Debut as a Couple

Pierre called the experience of attending the premiere with Taylor “so easy,” explaining:

“Being on the red carpet with Teyana was a joy. And so easy to do because I was supporting someone who I love. Anything that feels right feels easy.”

The pair first sparked romance rumors in February 2025, when they were spotted together at high-profile events, including the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. Fans noted their growing chemistry online, particularly in social media comments, before Taylor confirmed their romance on Instagram in June 2025, posting a heartfelt birthday tribute to Pierre.

Public Acknowledgment of Romance

In her Instagram post, Taylor wrote:

“Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. 🌹”

The announcement coincided with the release of her “Long Time” music video, in which Pierre starred as her love interest, further cementing their public pairing.

Taylor’s Playful Comments About Their Relationship

Taylor has shared glimpses of her relationship in interviews while keeping much private. On the September 24 episode of Sherri, host Sherri Shepherd teased Taylor about her “apple pie,” a playful nickname referencing Pierre’s initials. Taylor responded with humor, “I feel good, and it feels good to feel good,” adding that her attention remains focused on her partner.

She also joked about kissing scenes with her One Battle After Another co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, saying:

“Babe, did you see my apple pie? My eyes are on my prize, okay?”

Even when co-host Craig Melvin tried to press her on the romance, Taylor admitted she gets shy: “I get so shy and blushy; I just get so shy.”

Aaron Pierre on Privacy and Fatherhood

Pierre maintains a guarded approach to his personal life. In the Men’s Health interview, he described himself as “a very private person” but noted that he’s been stepping out of his comfort zone to share parts of his life publicly.

He is a devoted father to his son from a previous relationship, stating:

“Being a father is my greatest joy and my greatest privilege. He’s my everything. But I am fiercely protective of my son and his privacy. Everybody has respected that, and the gratitude I feel for that is immeasurable.”

Taylor is also a mother of two with her ex-husband, former NBA player Iman Shumpert: Iman “Junie” Tayla Jr., 9, and Rue Rose, 5.

A Growing Power Couple

Since going public, the couple has remained a favorite among fans for their blend of romance, professionalism, and humor. From music videos to red carpet appearances, Pierre and Taylor continue to showcase a balance of love and career, all while keeping certain aspects of their private lives protected.
