Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre split after nearly a year together: A look back at their whirlwind romance and relationship timeline

Hollywood lovers aren’t forever, it seems. After less than a year together, singer and actress Teyana Taylor and British actor Aaron Pierre have reportedly ended their romance. Reports confirmed their split on Tuesday, saying sources close to the pair confirmed the split.

Insiders didn’t spill the tea on exactly why they decided to go their separate ways, but the breakup comes on the heels of sustained fan speculation online and a quieter-than-usual social media presence from both stars.






The initial report about the split came from Page Six, which described the breakup as a mutual decision after a relationship that lasted under a year. According to that report, the couple first started attracting attention earlier in 2025 with public appearances and affectionate posts, but now they’re officially done.

The breakup details have been kept under wraps, but those close to the pair suggest the decision came down to timing and career momentum on both sides. Taylor has been enjoying a major professional high, recently scoring a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress for One Battle After Another, while Pierre is stepping into a blockbuster phase of his career, with a lead role in Star Wars: Starfighter alongside Ryan Gosling and a key part in DC Studios and HBO’s highly anticipated series Lanterns.



This isn’t a total surprise to the internet. Fans have been speculating about trouble in paradise for a while now. Rumors about a potential split started circulating weeks ago when Teyana skipped a birthday shout-out for Aaron and their Instagram activity seemed to dry up, which is basically relationship kryptonite in celebrity world math.



Those online cues led to theories about whether the couple was taking a breather or silently drifting apart. Add in social media silence around major events and folks started buzzing that something might be up long before the official news dropped.
