Teyana Taylor is sharing her thoughts on navigating coparenting with her former husband, Iman Shumpert.

In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, the actress and singer offered insights into the emotional challenges that accompany divorce.

“To me, divorce feels like you’re mourning the loss of a living being,” said Teyana, who is 35. “When children are involved, you learn the importance of continuing to support each other. For at least the next 18 years, our focus is on being the best coparents we can be.”

The All’s Fair star also discussed how her experience hasn’t altered her views on commitment. “I don’t want people to become afraid of marriage; it’s truly a beautiful thing,” she noted.

Teyana and Iman, both 35, are parents to two daughters, 10-year-old Junie and 5-year-old Rue. The couple was married from 2016 until their separation in 2024, which Teyana publicly confirmed in September 2023. At that time, she clarified that infidelity did not play a role in their decision to part ways.

“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie!” she wrote on Instagram. “To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to coparenting our 2 beautiful children.”

Court documents later revealed that Teyana had filed for divorce in January 2023, citing “cruel treatment,” as the reason she was seeking disillusion of the marriage. That is a claim Iman denied, stating on his end that the marriage had an “irretrievably broken bond.”

Their divorce was finalized in July 2024, though legal disputes continued into 2025.

Per documents obtained by Us Weekly, in August of 2025, a judge ordered Teyana to pay $70,000 after siding with Iman in a contempt ruling.

Teyana later addressed the situation on The Breakfast Club, saying, “If it’s gonna give me my peace and we can be done with this for good, I sent that wire so fast… the best lil’ coin I ever spent in my life.”

Since the divorce, Teyana has been linked to actor Aaron Pierre, though she remains focused on honesty about her past. “One thing I don’t do is rewrite history,” she told Vanity Fair. “When I love, my love is real… until there was no more. And that’s OK.”
