Teyana Taylor And Husband: Star Reveals She 'Did Not Like' Iman Shumpert 'At First'
It’s clear that Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert can’t get enough of each other these days.
Still, Taylor revealed she wasn’t always a fan of her NBA star husband.
Teyana's First Impression Of Iman
Taylor got candid about her relationship with Shumpert during an interview with Wendy Williams earlier this week.
“I did not like him at first,” admitted Taylor.
She explained that when they met just after Shumpert was drafted into the NBA, he has a demeanor that completely turned her off from him. She recalled a time she was at a party and saw him without a shirt, which she made clear wasn’t attractive.
Shumpert, who isn't the only one drooling over Taylor and her flawless physique, tried to convince her that he was the one for her. She wasn’t buying it, however, so they became friends instead.
It changed when they both went through a bad breakup and consoled each other. They sparked a romance, tied the knot, and now have a 2-year-old daughter, Junie B.
Then Comes Baby
Taylor also opened up about their growing child in an interview.
“She’s the star of our whole world,” said Taylor. “Honestly, like one thing we want to do is give Junie the freedom to do whatever it is her little mind desires…”
She said the tot has already started playing makeup and could take after Taylor’s passion for dancing. At the same time, Taylor and Shumpert might be raising the next basketball star.
“…She’ll turn around, pick up a basketball and she’s trying to hoop. She’s tall.”

Fans will get to see more of Taylor and Shumpert’s romance and family life on VH1’s newest reality series Teyana and Iman. The show is set to follow Taylor, Shumpert, and their newlywed bliss as they balance family and their successful careers.
