Iman Shumpert says wife Teyana Taylor is 'the cool devil on the shoulder' who coaches him through some of his 'Dancing With the Stars' moves

• Iman Shumpert told Insider that Teyana Taylor gives him "little pointers" on prepping for "DWTS."

• He said his wife is "the cool devil on the shoulder" who helps him make adjustments "on the fly."

• Shumpert and Taylor have been married since 2016 and are parents to two daughters.

Iman Shumpert said his wife, Teyana Taylor, gives him "little pointers" on how to perfect his "Dancing With the Stars" routines.

The former Brooklyn Nets shooting guard has been showing off his ballroom moves on season 30 of the long-running competition alongside partner Daniella Karagach with Taylor sometimes cheering him on from the studio audience.

Reflecting on his "DWTS" journey so far, Shumpert told Insider earlier in October that Taylor gives "a lot of pointers and small adjustments" to make to his dance routines "on the fly," while also reminding Shumpert that the singer-choreographer doesn't have any ballroom dance experience herself.

"What she does is, she is able to look at something, mimic it, become it, and then add flair to it," Shumpert said about Taylor. "So I am kind of being coached."

He continued that Karagach has been "great with teaching" the NBA star everything he needs to know before taking to the ballroom floor. Shumpert called the "DWTS" pro his "angel on my shoulder that knows all the right things."

Shumpert added that Taylor, on the other hand, is "is like the cool devil on the shoulder" who is saying: "I don't know how to do it either, but this is how we gonna get through it."

Taylor and Shumpert have been married since 2016 and are parents to two young daughters.

On the first night of "DWTS" Disney week, celebrating Disney heroes, Karagach and Shumpert danced to "Let it Go" from "Frozen" - one of Shumpert's daughters' favorite Disney movies.

He revealed during the video package accompanying the dance that he "hand-delivered" both children.

Shumpert explained that when Taylor was pregnant with their older daughter, Juni, Taylor's water broken while the first-time parents were trying to get through a "tough night."

"The whole hospital plan went out the window and I became Dr. Shum," he said.
