Iman Shumpert may have parted ways with Teyana Taylor, but his admiration for her talent remains unaffected. 

After her stunning performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” (2025), Teyana has snagged the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and earned an Academy Award nomination. In a recent chat with TMZ Sports, Shumpert couldn’t help but celebrate his ex-wife’s remarkable achievements. 

“She did well,” Shumpert said. “She did well, for sure.”

According to TMZ Sports, he also said their co-parenting is going swimmingly … and their two daughters, Iman “Junie” Tayla, and Rue Rose, are doing great.

Taylor, who recently got into a massive fight at OSCAR after a man touched her, filed for divorce from Shumpert in 2023, and they finalized their divorce in 2024, ending their eight-year marriage. During this time, there were various conflicts between them. 

Taylor requested a 20-day jail sentence and financial penalties for the former Cleveland Cavaliers star. In response, Shumpert’s attorney asserted his client’s innocence and challenged the validity of Taylor’s claims. Following Shumpert’s recent statement, it seems that the situation has finally calmed down. Love and respect can transcend relationships, and it is clear that Iman remains a proud supporter of his ex-wife.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding their relationship, one thing that caught everyone’s attention was the way Shumpert kissed her during the interview. This action drew criticism, with many people claiming it might have been the reason Taylor left him.
