Teyana Taylor has been ordered by the court to pay her ex-husband, former NBA champion Iman Shumpert, $70,000 as part of their divorce settlement.
The decision comes amid a tense and highly publicized split. Taylor, 34, and Shumpert, 35, tied the knot in October 2016 and welcomed two daughters together: Iman “Junie” Tayla Shumpert Jr., now 9, and Rue Rose Shumpert, 4.
According to reports, the award covers various financial obligations, including back payments related to their marital assets and other settlement terms agreed upon during proceedings.
In earlier filings, Taylor alleged that Shumpert engaged in behavior during their marriage that made her feel unsafe. These claims added to the strain between the former couple, whose relationship had already been under public scrutiny.
The “Gonna Love Me” singer expressed disappointment over the very public nature of the case. In a heartfelt Instagram Stories post in November 2023, she wrote:
“It is very heartbreaking that someone would take out the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see. However, protecting my family is one thing I’ve ALWAYS done & for my children I will continue to do so.”
While the legal battle continues to unfold, Taylor appears to be moving forward in her personal life. She is currently dating 31-year-old actor Aaron Pierre, star of Disney’s upcoming film “Mufasa”.
Shumpert, who last played in the NBA in 2021 and has since explored media and entertainment ventures, has not publicly commented on the payment order. The ruling marks another chapter in a split that has combined celebrity romance, legal drama, and co-parenting challenges in the public eye.
Fans of both stars have taken to social media to share their opinions — some supporting Taylor’s stance on privacy, others siding with Shumpert as the legal outcome plays out. One thing is certain: this celebrity breakup isn’t fading from headlines anytime soon.
