GQ Magazine | At Home with Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor, the Sexiest Couple on Earth


You guys have had a crazy 14-15 months. What stands out the most?
I.S.: Getting married.

T.T.: I mean what made that so dope is because—we’ve never shared this—but we literally got married in our room in front of our bathroom here where Junie was born, so it was very special. That was definitely a major, major highlight of the year and one of the best things of my life.

Wait. You got married in the bathroom?
T.T.: It was like our bathroom in our room, so right in front of the bathroom. We have double doors, so we opened the doors. Pretty much, we got married at the crime scene. It was a really special moment to get married in that home period.

How do you navigate the complications or difficulties of having such a public relationship? 
I.S.: Communication. We communicate on a day-to-day basis and just know what’s going on with each other so much that [between] the things that we’re supposed to do as far as our job goes and as far as just checking in, there’s no real room for the nonsense.

T.T.: We can be on FaceTime for like 80 hours straight. [There’s] never really time to be like, “This happened in this hour. Where were you this hour?” Because we literally talk every minute of the day.

I.S.: Yeah, but it’s one of those things that even if we’re not talking, we know each other is working.

T.T.: I think what other people would consider a struggle is the fact that when you are doing good, there’s always people that want to bring you down and see you fail. So they’re going to do whatever it takes to try and make that happen. But I think what has made us strong is we have put [in] a lot of years and a lot of love. So it was like, at this point, nobody can really break us apart. We don’t have any struggle with regards to that because it’s like people’s stories aren’t good enough. It’s almost like, “Okay, you said you did this—“ literally me, him, and Junie were just at practice, [or] we were just at my soundcheck, so when does he have time to do that?

I.S.: It’s one of the feelings where you’ve got to know what’s real life and what’s not. Yeah, you post a picture or you post a video and people get a little clip of your life, but on the day to day, we’re just really regular. A lot of stuff doesn’t bother us. No matter how much fame the “Fade” video did, or with her album or her tour selling out, us winning the championship. At the end of the day, we’re both homebodies. And we try to make sure the arguments we do have are only over the remote control. [For instance] the other day, I set up a studio session and photo shoot, knowing I had leave for a road trip, and she was just sort of like, “Bro, that could be family time, and you setting this up.” So we nitpicked at that for a second, and that didn’t even last, but it’s like those are our type of arguments, and I’d like to keep it like that. She was like, “This could be a day that you, me, and Junie could just kick it.”

What’s one thing each of you do that embarrasses the other one?
T.T.: Oh my God. Iman does this thing. We can be at dinner, or in a quiet room, and you just hear him singing a whole bunch of Teyana Taylor songs! Songs that’s not even out yet. He sings all of them in falsetto. And then he has the nerve to add his own adlibs on my songs!

I.S.: I think she fails to realize that I really enjoy music, and she makes music that I’ve always listened to, that type of vibe. When she makes songs, they get stuck in my head quick. I get that we’re married, but if I like the song, I’m not going to be like, “Oh, I’m not going to sing it because I don’t want to seem like I like my wife’s song too much.”
