Teyana Taylor Confirms Relationship with Aaron Pierre on His Birthday

The internet’s been buzzing, and now it’s official. Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre are a couple. She made it known to the world in the most heartfelt way—on his birthday.

On June 7, 2025, Teyana posted on Instagram for Aaron’s 31st birthday. She called him “Woody” in the caption and wrote, “Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. H‘AP’PY BIRTHDAY Woody.” If that wasn’t sweet enough, Aaron jumped into the comments saying, “Now and always. Thank you, Tey.” And just like that, months of subtle hints finally made sense.

It All Started Quietly

Back in February 2025, folks started whispering. Teyana and Aaron were seen at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala. No PDA. Just deep conversation and what looked like serious chemistry.

Then came the American Black Film Festival Honors. Same table. Same vibe. Still no confirmation. Just enough to make fans curious.

Then March rolled around. They both hit up the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. Arrived separately. But once inside, they posed for a cozy pic with Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts. Teyana shared two black-and-white shots from that night. Her caption read, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.” Pretty bold. Aaron posted the same photos, but without a caption. That silence said a lot.

Instagram Moments and Music Videos

Things started heating up in April. Aaron posted a shirtless selfie. Just vibes. Teyana responded to it on her Stories with a flirty message, “on di wey…” Fans caught on quickly.

But what really sealed the deal was the music video. In early June, Teyana released the video for her song “Long Time.” It was sultry, dramatic, and had Aaron playing her love interest. At one point, he literally swept her off her feet. It felt real. Too real to just be acting.

Just days later, Teyana was at the Apollo Spring Benefit. She accepted the Innovator Award and gave an emotional speech. In it, she thanked her “apple pie.” Most people are sure she meant Aaron. Her words? “I love you all so much. Thank you for loving me the way you do.” A moment that had hearts melting.

When Aaron’s birthday came around, Teyana didn’t just post a caption. She threw him a surprise party. The moment he walked in? Pure shock. And her smile said it all. Clips of the celebration started making rounds on TikTok.

Aaron later posted his own thank you online. “Tey, thank you! You put together a beautiful day. You are one of one. I appreciate you, deeply.” Teyana replied, “You’re so welcome & so deserving. Happy bdayyyyyyyy.” It was playful, warm, and full of love.
