Taylor and Aaron Pierre Confirm Romance with Birthday Kiss

Los Angeles, CA — Singer Taylor and actor Aaron Pierre have officially confirmed their romance during a surprise birthday party for Pierre’s 31st birthday. The couple shared an intimate kiss captured on social media, prompting excitement among fans.

The celebration took place on Saturday, June 8, where Taylor, 34, expressed her affection for Pierre, affectionately nicknamed ‘Woody’, by planning a heartfelt event. Earlier in the day, she posted a warm birthday tribute on Instagram saying, ‘Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. H’AP’PY BIRTHDAY Woody,’ alongside two cozy photos of them together.

In one image, Taylor is seen blowing a kiss to the camera with Pierre smiling next to her. The second photo captures a sweet moment where Pierre gazes into Taylor’s eyes. Pierre responded to the post with: ‘Now and always. Thank you Tey,’ echoing the sentiment.

The couple’s relationship has sparked rumors since February when they were spotted together at the American Black Film Festival Honors. The connection appeared to deepen in March when Taylor shared black-and-white photos from the 2025 Oscars, captioned, ‘Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.’

Interactions on social media fueled further speculation when Pierre posted a shirtless selfie, leading Taylor to cheekily respond with a playful message, stirring excitement among fans.

This relationship marks a new chapter for Taylor, who finalized her divorce from former NBA player Iman Shumpert in July 2024, after seven years of marriage. They share two daughters, Junie, 9, and Rue, 4, and have been committed to a strong co-parenting partnership.

Adding to their growing public presence, Taylor recently released a music video for her single ‘Long Time,’ featuring a cameo by Pierre, underscoring their romance.

As this couple steps into the spotlight, their affectionate moments continue to capture the attention and support of fans and friends alike.
