How many kids does Iman Shumpert have? Looking into former NBA champion's family and more

Former NBA player Iman Shumpert is in the headlines after his wife Teyana Taylor announced their separation. Shumpert and Taylor have been married since Oct. 1, 2016 and have two children together.

Taylor, who is a singer and actress, gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Iman Tayla or Junie, when they were still engaged in Dec. 2015. Their second daughter, Rue Rose, was born in Sept. 2020.

Junie was born at the couple's home when Taylor unexpectedly went into labor. Shumpert helped deliver his daughter inside the bathtub, with help from a 911 operator. Rue Rose was also born at home in the bathroom and without any medical assistance.

There was plenty of speculation about the marriage of Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor recently.

Taylor finally confirmed on Instagram on Sunday that the couple had been separated for a while, but it was not due to infidelity. They plan on co-parenting their two daughters and managing their business together.

"In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while," Taylor wrote. "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. Most importantly, we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together; 7 yrs married we ain't ever played with or about THAT."

Shumpert has not commented publicly on the split, but it's unclear if a divorce has been filed.

The one-time NBA champion dealt with cheating rumors less than a year after their first daughter was born and around the time they got married. He admitted to the allegations and called himself a changed man.
