Unlike most celebrity couples who prefer to keep the intimate details of their private lives and high-profile romances out of the public eye, singer-songwriter Teyana Taylor and former Cleveland Cavaliers standout Iman Shumpert have no problem sharing their relationship with fans desperate for an inside look at the realities of A-list love. A far cry from Kanye West tweeting from the sunken place of the home he shares with wife Kim Kardashian, whenever the Shumperts dish about their relationship it's obvious that their confessions are authentic and grounded in the truth of their reality. Cultivating a solid romance after having already established a strong friendship, Taylor and Shumpert officially linked up back in 2014 after the "Maybe" singer helped nurse the Sacramento Kings shooting guard back to health in the fallout of a knee injury.
After welcoming their daughter Iman "Junie" Tayla Shumpert, Jr. just one year later, the duo stayed true to form and low-key tied the knot while rocking matching red wine-colored leather biker jackets. Now officially boo'd-up and parents to a baby girl, the family that made headlines with their appearance in the mega-popular 2016 MTV VMA video debut for Kanye West’s “Fade," have brought their unique dynamic to the public by way of VH1's Teyana & Iman. While putting their modern romance as a Gen Z power couple on blast for an audience of millions is no small feat, the Shumpert's are committed to telling their story.
"It's so important to be a positive representation of black love," said Shumpert, revealing the motivation behind filming the eight-episode reality series. "It is to inspire love, period. There's nothing more special than showing young folk that you can be in love and you can be married," echoed Taylor in a teaser-trailer for the March 2018 debut of their series.
