Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre’s Flirty Instagram Photos Spark Dating Buzz Post-Oscars
Ah, the glamorous world of Hollywood relationships — where rumors swirl faster than the red carpet gowns! Teyana Taylor, the multifaceted musician and actress, and Aaron Pierre, the charming star of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” are turning heads with their latest black and white Instagram shots. Just a day after the 2025 Oscars, Taylor shared a series of sultry photos featuring the duo striking pose after pose, channeling their inner James Bond and Bond girl, with the caption, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area. ????” Setting the tone with SZA’s “Take You Down,” she undoubtedly knows how to keep her followers intrigued.
The timing of this Instagram reveal is particularly noteworthy, as both stars were spotted together at Vanity Fair’s illustrious Oscar afterparty. Their chemistry was palpable, especially when they were photographed alongside actress Niecy Nash and her wife, Jessica Betts. This isn’t the first time they’ve raised eyebrows; dating buzz has been circulating since their appearance at the American Black Film Festival Honors on February 17, where they were seen engaged in deep conversation at a table while Pierre accepted the Rising Star award.
While Taylor has been open about her past, particularly her marriage to NBA player Iman Shumpert (whom she divorced in January 2023), Pierre has kept his romantic life under wraps. After all, who could forget Taylor’s heartfelt Instagram post assuring fans that she and Shumpert remain “best friends” and co-parents to their two daughters? Meanwhile, Pierre has been humorously embraced by his peers as the internet’s latest heartthrob. Actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. even took to TikTok to highlight Pierre’s newfound popularity in the most playful way possible, assuring fans, “I’m giving the people what they want.”
As we watch this potential romance unfold, it’s clear that both stars are relishing their moments in the spotlight. With their undeniable chemistry and playful interactions, it seems the Hollywood dating game is once again in full swing. Will they confirm these whispers, or will it remain one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets? Only time will tell, but for now, the intrigue is as delicious as the post-Oscar festivities themselves.
