American singer, actress, and model Teyana Taylor has officially confirmed her relationship with British actor Aaron Pierre.
The pair had been the subject of growing speculation in recent months, following multiple public appearances together. On Sunday, the model put the rumour to rest with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Pierre’s birthday.
She shared a series of affectionate photos featuring herself and the actor. The pictures, which quickly gained attention on social media, show the couple enjoying each other’s company in what appears to be a private celebration. One image captures a smiling Taylor with her arm around Pierre. Another shows them laughing together in a cosy setting.
Sweet words and a viral moment
But it was a short video clip that truly stole the spotlight. In the now-viral footage, the duo were seen sharing a passionate kiss during what turned out to be a surprise birthday party thrown by the singer.
Alongside the post, the singer wrote a playful and loving birthday message:
“Cheers to thirty-WON and many more wins around the sun.”
The phrase “thirty-WON” cleverly referenced Pierre’s new age, 31 and celebrated his personal and professional milestones.
Pierre, known for his role in the upcoming film Mufasa: The Lion King, replied with a brief but heartfelt comment:
“Now and always, thank you Tey.”
The message added fuel to fans’ excitement, further confirming what many had already suspected: that the two are indeed romantically involved.
Rumours confirmed after months of speculation
Relationship rumours between the entertainers began earlier this year after they were seen attending multiple high-profile events together. They walked red carpets side by side, posed for photos, and appeared comfortable in each other’s presence.
Fans and gossip blogs picked up on the chemistry, but neither Taylor nor Pierre addressed the rumours until now.
Sunday’s Instagram post marks the first time either of them has publicly acknowledged their relationship.
