When Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre first went Instagram official, it sparked a lot of whispers and confusion. They shared multiple pictures together at the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala, but some overlooked that. It was the black-and-white photos they both shared in March that had people talking. Dressed in formal attire, they looked like Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the images, but still didn’t exactly come off as a couple.
According to the caption, they took these during Oscars’ night, but people couldn’t figure out what it meant. Some thought it was potentially PR for an upcoming film they may have had. Others were unsure all the way around, but were still intrigued. As their relationship has continued, it’s become more and more apparent that these two aren’t just a couple, they are smitten with each other. Here are seven cute moments from their relationship so far.
