Aaron Pierre Opens Up About Being Single Following Teyana Taylor Split

Aaron Pierre has officially confirmed that he is single, months after his reported split from singer and actress Teyana Taylor. The Lanterns star addressed his relationship status directly during a recent television appearance, ending the speculation that had followed the former couple since late 2025.

During his August 7 appearance on TODAY, Pierre laughed when Jenna Bush Hager mentioned that fans had crowned him “the internet’s boyfriend.” The 32-year-old actor said the attention was warmly received and admitted that the compliments made him smile. When asked directly whether he was single, he replied, “I am,” before explaining that he is currently focused on becoming the best father and artist he can be, according to People.

Pierre and Taylor publicly confirmed their romance in June 2025 after months of online speculation. Their relationship attracted additional attention when he appeared as her love interest in the visual for “Long Time,” but reports emerged approximately six months later that the pair had quietly ended their relationship. Neither Pierre nor Taylor publicly explained what led to the split.

Despite the interest surrounding his personal life, Pierre responded to his growing heartthrob status with appreciation rather than discomfort. His relaxed reaction reflected an understanding of why audiences have connected with him, while his emphasis on fatherhood and artistry made it clear that romance is not his main priority at the moment.

Professionally, Pierre is preparing for one of the biggest chapters of his career as he takes on the role of John Stewart in HBO’s Lanterns. The series places him alongside Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan as the two Green Lanterns investigate a mysterious murder, giving Pierre the opportunity to bring one of DC’s most celebrated heroes to live action.

With his relationship status now settled, Pierre appears focused on family and the major projects ahead of him. Fans may continue treating him as the internet’s boyfriend, but the actor’s own priorities remain firmly centered on fatherhood, his creative growth and the expanding career that has made him one of Hollywood’s most closely watched rising stars.
