The Spark: When the Rumors Began (February 2025)

Speculation first began circulating in February 2025, when the pair were seen exchanging what many described as quiet but magnetic energy at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala. While nothing obvious was confirmed, fans noticed something,the kind of unspoken vibe you feel more than see.

The whispers intensified when they were spotted seated together at the American Black Film Festival Honors on February 17. Despite keeping a respectful distance from PDA and the red carpet chaos, their proximity didn’t go unnoticed. People were already rooting for Teyana to find joy again after her emotional split from Iman Shumpert.

Just months earlier, in July 2024, Taylor finalized her divorce from the former NBA star. They had spent nearly a decade together dating since 2013, marrying in 2016, and raising two beautiful daughters. Their breakup, though private at its core, was marred by speculation and social media chaos. Teyana reportedly even accused Shumpert of leaking sensitive divorce documents.

Still, amid the storm, she’s handled co-parenting with grace, putting her children first.
