Aaron Pierre’s lovely birthday post from Teyana Taylor keeps stoking rumors about their relationship

Fans believe the two celebrities are more than just friends after seeing their affectionate pictures and heartfelt homage.

Teyana Taylor’s emotional birthday homage on Instagram on Saturday fueled persistent suspicions of a romance with actor Aaron Pierre. Taylor posted a picture of the two of them on set and a cozy selfie, writing, “Cheers to Thirty WON & many more wins around the sun.” A very happy birthday, Woody.

The fans were thrilled by the touching message and the on-set picture. The intimate selfie and the lighthearted reference to Pierre’s nickname, “Woody,” in the message made it difficult to dispute how close they were.

The two have been the subject of simmering rumors for months. Public hints have been mounting ever since they appeared together at the Apollo Spring Benefit, where Taylor even mentioned a cryptic “apple pie” in her acceptance speech for the Innovator Award, and their glitzy black and white James Bond-style pictures from the 2025 Oscars.

Additionally, their creative partnership is generating curiosity. In the sultry music video for “Long Time,” which was published in early June, Pierre plays the lead role in Taylor’s visual album “Escape Room.”

Although neither Taylor nor Pierre have released an official statement, people are still enthralled by their professional entanglements and social media chemistry.
