Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre appear to be Instagram-official!

The “Gonna Love Me” singer and the “Mufasa: The Lion King” actor seemingly confirmed their romance with a photo carousel taken during the 2025 Oscars on Sunday night.

“Oscar night in black & white, no grey area. 🤍,” Taylor, 34, captioned the photos with Pierre, 30.

In the snaps, the pair are facing each other before they stand back-to-back for the final picture.

For the glitzy photos, the “Coming 2 America” actress wore a black gown that featured a large cutout in the back.

The front of the dress included a plunging neckline and a slit in the back. Taylor paired the ensemble for the star-studded award show with metallic heels.

Pierre, for his part, suited up with a classic black tuxedo by LOEWE. He wore a white bowtie to tie the look together and gold framed glasses.

Page Six has reached out to both of their reps but did not receive an immediate response.

Soon after Taylor shared the photos with the “Rebel Ridge” star, many fans — including their celeb pals — took to the comments to react.

“🖤,” Kim Kardashian commented, while actress Taraji P. Henson gushed, “YES MA’AM!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥.”

Lori Harvey added, “Niceeeeee [sic] 😂🥰🤍,” while “Insecure” alum Yvonne Orji echoed, “Okayyyyy nooowww [sic]! 🤎🤎🤎.”

Meanwhile, “Queen & Slim” star Jodie Turner-Smith cheekily chimed in with, “IT’S RIGHT HERE IN BLACK & WHITE HONEYYYYYYY [sic] 🥰🥰🥰.”

Although the duo didn’t walk the Vanity Fair Oscars 2025 afterparty red carpet together, they did pose for snaps inside.

Taylor swapped her ensemble worn in the Instagram photos for a fiery red sheer body suit worn with a matching skirt for the photos taken with Pierre alongside Niecy Nash and her wife, Jessica Betts.

Pierre previously shared photos with Taylor from their attendance at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala to his Instagram on Feb. 2.

Prior to Pierre, Taylor was previously linked to Leonardo DiCaprio in October 2024 when they were spotted dancing “closely” at a New York City club.

The dancer was also once married to former NBA player Iman Shumpert from 2016 until they called it quits in 2023.

“Iman and I are separated and have been for a while,” Taylor wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post confirming their divorce.

“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.”

Taylor and Shumpert share two daughters including Junie, 9, and Rue, 4.
