Things are apparently heating up between pop princess Teyana Taylor, 34, and Mufasa: The Lion King actor Aaron Pierre, 30.
On June 4, 2025, Teyana dropped the music video for her latest single, Long Time, on YouTube. The track is from her forthcoming album Escape Room, set to release in August 2025, and Pierre stars in the steamy visual.
The video follows Taylor as she grapples with the end of a toxic relationship. Here, Pierre seemingly comes to her emotional rescue.
In a swoon-worthy moment near the end of the video, Taylor lies unconscious on the ground as Pierre, dressed in a dramatic all-red leather fit with a hood, lifts her into his arms and walks away while she clutches his hand.
Singing about her toxic ex, Teyana croons,
“Baby, it’s been over a long time / Didn’t end whеn it was over (Didn’t end when it was ovеr) / Now the door is closed for closure”.
Teyana And Aaron Turn Up The Heat In Upcoming Onscreen Collab
The music video arrived just days after the We Got Love singer unveiled the trailer for her short film Escape Room, also set to premiere in August 2025.
The teaser featured none other than Aaron as Taylor’s onscreen love interest, and it included a steamy kiss that immediately set the internet buzzing.
Serving as a visual extension of her upcoming album, the short film Escape Room is expected to explore the emotional journey from the depths of heartbreak, in friendships, career, and family, to the lightness that comes with healing.
Teyana and Aaron have been romantically linked since mid-February 2025, when, on the night of February 17, the duo attended the American Black Film Festival Honors at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Not long after, on March 3, 2025, Taylor fueled speculation by posting a series of black-and-white photos on Instagram, seemingly taken at the annual Oscars after-party the night before.
Still, neither the songstress nor Aaron has publiTeyana and Aaron Turn Up the Heat in Upcoming Onscreen Collabcly confirmed their relationship status, yet.
