Teyana Taylor Confirms Separation from Husband Iman Shumpert: ‘Still the Best of Friends’

Teyana Taylor has announced that she and Iman Shumpert are divorced after seven years of marriage.

“Honestly, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while,” Taylor, 32, wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday. “To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ is not one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and one heck of a team when it comes to co-parenting our two beautiful children.”

She continued, “Most importantly, we are FAMILY and in 10 years together, 7 years married, we have never played with or around HIM.”

The “Wake Up Love” singer and former NBA player Shumpert, who married in 2015, have two children, Rue Rose, 3, and Iman “Junie” Tayla, 6. In her post, Taylor added that she and Shumpert, 33, kept their divorce secret at first, which is why we “separated successfully and peacefully without any outside noise.”

“The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the stories are getting a little out of hand and it’s unfair to all parties involved,” she continued. “I hope this clears things up for you all. Okay, auntie, take you out of the chat, bye! 😘❤️🌹.”

Shumpert did not share the statement on his own Instagram, nor did he comment on Taylor’s.

Before announcing their split, Taylor’s last post featuring her husband was on his birthday in June. She called him “the king” in a lengthy caption while describing him as “one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.”

“Your birthday will always be one of my favorite days…Because on this day 33 years ago, a super stupid human being was born. My best friend, my husband, my children’s dad, my other half,” she continued. “It’s crazy how your birthday feels like my day is bringing you a gift.”

As for Shumpert, his most recent post about his wife came on Mother’s Day in May. He paid tribute to the mother of his two children, writing: “Your strength, tenacity and patience never cease to amaze me.”

All hats no matter what size fit in your little head…but there’s something so beautiful about that mommy hat, so clean and so forever! Keep pushing the love and making memories that remind us what this life is all about. We love you.”

Although Taylor and Shumpert are no longer in a relationship, the singer made it clear in her statement that their priority is still their two daughters.

She told PEOPLE in April that her “babies are doing well” and noted how quickly they are “getting big” — especially Rue Rose.

“My youngest talks too much,” Taylor joked. “I can’t believe she’s two. She’s two, for sure!”
