Teyana Taylor celebrated Aaron Pierre’s birthday with affectionate photos and a message that hinted at more than just friendship.
Teyana Taylor gave Aaron Pierre a birthday shoutout that read more like a love letter than a friendly post.
And now there is speculation about their relationship, following months of public appearances together. The singer and actress posted a pair of cozy photos to Instagram on Saturday (June 8) to celebrate the Mufasa star’s 31st birthday.
“Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. Happy birthday Woody,” she wrote, adding two photos that left little room for interpretation.
In the first image, Taylor is seen blowing a kiss toward the camera while Pierre leans in close, smiling. The second photo shows the Rebel Ridge actor standing between her legs on what appears to be a set, gazing directly into her eyes.
Pierre responded in the comments with a short but telling message: “Now and always. Thank you Tey.”
The post drew attention from several of Taylor’s celebrity peers, including Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union and Andra Day, who left supportive comments.
Romance rumors between the two began swirling in February after they were spotted sitting together at the American Black Film Festival Honors. A month later, Taylor appeared to confirm the relationship when she posted black-and-white photos of the pair at the 2025 Oscars, captioned, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.”
Taylor, a mother of two and known for her work in music, film and fashion, has not officially confirmed the relationship, but her recent posts have done little to quiet the speculation.
Pierre, who voices the young Mufasa in Disney’s upcoming Mufasa: The Lion King, has also kept details of his personal life under wraps.
The birthday post went live on Saturday (June 8).
