American singer-songwriter and actress Teyana Taylor, alongside basketball player Iman Shumpert, has finalized a lucrative multi-million dollar settlement following their separation, as reported by the Tribune on March 13. The couple, who shared seven years of marriage and are parents to two daughters—Iman Tayla “Junie”Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert—has now moved forward amicably.
The settlement details revealed that Taylor will acquire four properties valued at over $10 million, in addition to several luxury vehicles, a one-time seven-figure sum, and complete ownership of her business ventures. Shumpert is also set to fulfill his responsibilities as a father by contributing $8,000 per month in child support and covering the tuition for their children’s private schooling.
Timeline of Events Surrounding Their Separation
According to a report from People published on May 7, 2024, Taylor and Shumpert secretly tied the knot in September 2016. In January 2024, news broke that Taylor filed for divorce, a development initially highlighted by TMZ. Following the divorce announcement, Taylor took to Instagram to address the matter before deleting her post.
“I mind my business, don’t bother nobody & y’all know I’ve never played about my children, family & our privacy. I have not spoken on this private matter to any media outlets or blogs etc. So everyone claiming ‘Teyana said’ didn’t get any statements directly from ME,”she expressed.
In her post, Taylor criticized media outlets for disseminating confidential court documents related to her divorce.
“These statements were taken from private court documents that were leaked to the public. It is very heartbreaking that someone would take out the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see.”
Teyana Taylor Addresses the Nature of Their Divorce
In a now-deleted Instagram post from September 17, 2023, Taylor sought to clarify the circumstances surrounding their marriage dissolution. She assured fans that infidelity was not a factor in their separation. She shared:
“In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. 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 co-parenting our 2 beautiful children.”
Reaffirming their commitment to their family, Taylor emphasized that both she and Shumpert remained devoted to one another during their marriage. Their choice to keep personal matters private, she argued, facilitated a peaceful separation free from external interference. She stated:
“Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT. We just keep y’all *sses out the group chat lol, which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise.”
