Aaron Reacts To His Birthday Surprise (UPDATE)
On June 10, Aaron Pierre took to Instagram to show gratitude for his birthday celebration. He shared several photos in a feed post. The first showed Teyana sitting by his side at a birthday dinner in mid-laugh. The second photo shows the new couple in a sweet embrace, her face buried in his neck while he smiles. Others showed his group of loved ones toasting and enjoying the vibes. His caption began by thanking Father God for “another year…another opportunity to evolve, grow, mature and refine.” He also outright thanked Teyana Taylor, writing:
“Tey, Thank you! You put together a beautiful day. You are one of one. I appreciate you, deeply,” Aaron Pierre wrote. Adding, “Thank you ALL for showering me with love, joy and support. It is never lost on me. Endlessly grateful. Big love, always.”
Teyana & Aaron Have Been Hinting At A Romantic Connection
As mentioned, Teyana Taylor showed Aaron Pierre major public love ahead of the birthday kiss video. On his born day, she uploaded two photos featuring them: a selfie and a previously seen photo of them staring at each other. The caption read, “Cheers to Thirty-WON & many more wins around the sun. H”AP”PY Birthday Woody.” As of Monday (June 9), over 22,000 reactions have flooded her comment section. Celebrity girlies, like Taraji P. Henson, Tamar Braxton, Gabrielle Union, and B. Simone, encouraged the energy with emojis and sweet words like, “Sooooo good babe.”
The birthday post isn’t the first time Teyana Taylor has posted Aaron Pierre on her social media. They fueled the dating rumors in March after popping up at the Oscars together and posting their outfits on Instagram. Her caption at the time said, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area.” The following month, Taylor pulled up to Coachella with an accessory belt that had a dangling “A.”
Less than two weeks ago, Teyana Taylor again stirred the pot after featuring Aaron Pierre in her music video ‘Long Time.’ In it, they also seemingly shared a steamy kiss.
Social Media Reacts To New Couple’s Birthday Smooch
In The Shade Room’s comment section, over 17,000 written reactions poured in. Hazel E dropped three heart-eyed emojis with “Yesssss TT” added.
IG user, @shunmelson wrote, “When that leg go up, it’s for real. #softlife”
“Baby… ALL the girls are moving on with upgrades in this season lol,” @t0mmyn0pickles said.
“Love this for her so bad,” @clawzbydior_ added.
“He took his time with that kiss. I’m here for it,” @rebeccadupas commented.
“When she feels safe she becomes soft,” @ayanna_quander said.
@amayabrielle2012 wrote, “He’s her peace.”
“I know he is giving her the softest kind of love,” @__.parisamari said.
Meanwhile, Teyana’s ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, has yet to react to Taylor flexing her new romance. Last we heard from the former couple, Iman had accused his ex-wife of badmouthing him in front of their daughters, thus violating their divorce agreement. In his petition, he requested that the judge impose fines or jail time on Teyana. She clapped back via court, denying the allegations.
