Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor still on good terms despite split
In her post, Taylor expressed that she and Shumpert, the father of their daughters Iman "Junie" Tayla Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert, were still on friendly terms.
"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," she said.
"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, 7yrs married we ain't ever played with or about THAT,” she added.
Shumpert has not yet made any statements regarding the separation.
