She specifically criticized TMZ for fabricating salacious headlines by splicing information from her initial filing, which had anonymized her and Shumpert's identities using initials. Additionally, Taylor clarified that she and her children would not be passive targets and that utilities at their residence were functioning.

Teyana Taylor separated from Iman Shumpert last year

Last year, Teyana Taylor confirmed her separation from Iman Shumpert around September. In a tweet on November 24, Taylor shared that despite the heartbreak and challenges, they had successfully and peacefully separated. The aim was to keep personal matters out of the public eye amidst growing narratives that were getting out of hand.

The couple, who had always been open about their relationship, had not attended any events together for several months. Taylor expressed her distress at seeing their divorce become social media fodder despite their efforts to maintain privacy.

She also posted on Instagram about peacefully parting her ways with Shumpert.

Amid her challenges, Taylor has been receiving recognition for her work in the entertainment industry. Her portrayal of Inez De la Paz in a critically acclaimed film garnered her nominations. She was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture at the 55th NAACP Image Awards. She was also nominated for the Breakthrough Performance Award at The National Board of Review Awards Gala.

Taylor will also be playing the legendary singer Dionne Warwick in an upcoming biopic funded by Elliott Entertainment. Further details about the cast remain undisclosed.

The couple shares two daughters, Iman Junie Tayla Shumpert Jr., 7, and Rue Rose Shumpert, 3. The two have continued supporting each other, including Taylor posting a heartfelt birthday message to Shumpert on Instagram in June.
