Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert's Relationship Timeline

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert got married in 2016 and Taylor filed for divorce in January 2023

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert have called it quits.

The "Gonna Love Me" singer filed for divorce in January 2023, but she didn't announce the couple's separation until September of that year.

"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," Taylor wrote on Instagram.

The NBA champion and Dancing with the Stars winner first met the multi-talented musician, actress and director at a party in 2011. However, Taylor was dating someone else at the time, so their relationship remained platonic at first. Their friendship grew into something more in 2013.

Shumpert popped the question in 2015 during their baby shower at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, Ohio, and they officially tied the knot in 2016. Taylor and Shumpert are parents to two daughters: Junie and Rue Rose.

Taylor and Shumpert formed a romantic connection a few years later in 2013, when she found out he had no one to help him recover from a knee surgery. She helped take care of him for a week and things started to heat up between them.

"The funny part was [that we were] two people who weren't looking for anything but wound up together," she added.
