SPLITSVILLE! #TeyanaTaylor SECRETLY filed for divorce from #ImanShumpert MONTHS ago! [details]

Well, it appears that yet another celebrity couple has hit the skids! Teyana Taylor has filed for divorce from Iman Shumpert after 7 years of marriage!

To make matters worse, it is being reported that Taylor SECRETLY filed for divorce back in January of 2023!

According to the court documents obtained by TMZ Wednesday, the “Maybe” singer accused the former NBA player of being a jealous emotional abuser who was insecure about her fame.

She alleged her ex was “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”

Taylor — who wed Shumpert in 2016 — decided to end their marriage earlier this year because she was “unable to handle the emotional rollercoaster,” per the outlet.

Taylor also claimed she received “condescending and manipulative” messages from the retired athlete about her career.

As he “became more and more angry,” she even “began to intentionally dim her light for her husband to try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage,” the documents state, per TMZ.

The “Coming 2 America” actress, 32, further alleged Shumpert, 33, would become annoyed when they attended public events together and photographers would ask him to step aside to take solo pictures of her.

Tayler also claimed that she turned down several work opportunities because her estranged husband “did not want her to work.”

Despite Shumpert making more money than her with multi-million dollar NBA contracts, the singer alleged he was still insecure.

When the basketball star’s career started to dwindle, the “A Thousand and One” star said she attempted to get him jobs as an actor, but he wasn’t interested.

Ultimately, Taylor claimed the bickering led her to start the divorce process in 2021 — the same year Shumpert officially retired from the NBA.

While his time off helped them reconcile, it was only temporary because she claimed he “remained in an insecure state as his NBA career continued to wind down.”

Taylor — who shares daughters Junie, 7, and Rue, 3, with Shumpert — claimed that she tried to salvage her marriage while living in an “extremely” abusive environment.

In the docs, she also accused Shumpert of cheating on her several times.

You may recall that back in September, Taylor announced that they were separated but INFIDELITY was not the reason:

At the time, she insisted there was no cheating.

“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie! In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while,” she captioned a photo of herself and Shumpert.

“To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children.”

So basically, she lied in all of our faces. But such is life. Maybe she was trying a last ditched effort not to trash the reputation of the father of her children.
