Remember when these two were couple goals? We don’t either. The drama in the ongoing divorce proceedings continues; allegedly, Iman Shumpert is not raking in the dough and wants his child support payments reduced.
TMZ exclusively reports that Iman Shumpert claims his funds are not on par with those of his ex-wife, Teyana Taylor.
According to court documents obtained by the celebrity gossip website, the former NBA hooper discussed the couple’s finances, and he said TT got it, and he doesn’t.
Per TMZ:
According to Iman’s accounting, Teyana’s gross monthly income before taxes is $93,885 … nearly double the $47,981 he says he brings home every month.
The alleged pay gap here is interesting … remember, when Teyana quietly filed for divorce she claimed Iman was insecure and jealous of her fame, despite earning way more in NBA money than she could ever dream of making in music.
Iman earned over $48 million in NBA contracts during his career … but he hasn’t played pro ball since the 2021 season, when he played 2 games with the Brooklyn Nets.
The gossip site reports that Shumpert is “comfortably” paying $8,000 monthly in child support for the former couple’s two children.
Shumpert will continue to pay health insurance for “major” medical expenses but wants Taylor to chip in for other health services their children will require.
Teyana Taylor & Iman Shumpert’s Divorce Woes
Since shocking the world with the announcement of their separation, something the singer/actor blames Shumpert for making public, the couple has been battling over finances.
Taylor has accused The Chi star and Dancing With The Stars winner of leaving her with $200K worth of home renovations, which he began three years ago.
The “Rose In Harlem” singer also claims Shumpert withdrew nearly $4 million from several of the couple’s accounts.
Damn.
We hope these two can figure it all out for the sake of their kids.

Teyana Taylor has had enough of TMZ being in her business.
The extremely talented multi-hyphenate took to Instagram to call out the celebrity gossip site following a recent report on her pending divorce from former NBA hooper Iman Shumpert, accusing them of dropping salacious headlines about the situation.
In a post on her IG Stories, Taylor wrote, “Yo @tmz, are you serious???? Y’all really be taking it too far with these d*mn misleading headlines and I’m tired of it! Every time I turn around it’s either half leaked and made up stories, or words being twisted up for clickbait!!!! I kindly ask you mothaf%ckas to mind ya damn business, and for y’all to respect me and my family’s privacy.”
Teyana Taylor’s clapback is seemingly in response to a report that her ex-husband was “playing dirty in their divorce war…slowly shutting down all the utilities in the home where she lives with their 2 children.”
The world found out the couple, whom many thought were “relationship goals,” were on the outs after Shumpert counter-filed using their real names. Taylor initially filed for divorce in 2023, just using their initials to keep the situation private.
Teyana Taylor Has Been Winning Despite The Alleged Divorce Shenanigans
This latest news comes on the heels of a great week of good news for Teyana Taylor. She was nominated for a NAACP Image Award for her performance in the film “A Thousand and One.”
She also announced that she and her The Aunties Production company have gotten the green light on the Dionne Warwick biopic that she will be starring in the lead role.
“Thank you for trusting me, @coco_gilbert And our production company @theauntiesinc with telling your iconic story! We are so excited to make you proud!” Taylor wrote in the post.

Spotted on XXL, Jeezy broke his silence on his pending divorce from the former The Real co-host, Jeannie Mai, in a statement sent to the Hip-Hop website.
“The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart,” Jeezy told XXL. “Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart.”
In the statement, the “Put On” rapper touched on the couple’s 1-year-old daughter and his commitment to co-parenting.
“Our beautiful daughter is the best gift from our relationship and I am committed to assuring she feels the love and stability she deserves. During this period, I kindly request that you respect our family’s privacy as we focus on healing,” he continued.
The rapper’s statement comes after Jeanie Mai announced she was taking a break from social media and spoke on the divorce in a recent interview on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show Sherri.
“I’m not going to lie,” Jeannie Mai said. “It takes every day to just to really sit and just be quiet with your thoughts, take care of me. But one thing I know is, you give God your pain, he will give you his power, period. So, every day, I’m like, ‘Here you go. You got room for more? Here’s some more.’ Just taking it day by day,” Mai told Shepherd.
Mai and Jeezy began dating in 2019, tying the knot in 2021 and eventually welcoming their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco Mai Jenkins, into the world.

T.J. Holmes, whose public affair with his fellow GMA 3 host Amy Robach had Twitter talking, is finalizing his divorce from his second wife.
Spotted on Page Six, philandering journalist T.J. Holmes was spotted on Wednesday, Dec.29, in New York City fresh off from filing divorce papers officially ending his 13-year marriage to Marilee Fiebig.
Holmes, 45, and Fiebig, also 45, jumped the broom in March 2010 and welcomed the birth of their daughter Sabine in January 2013.

The divorce comes after Holmes’ hot affair with his co-host Amy Robach was made public after photos of them in 4K engaging in couple-like behavior hit Twitter timelines.
Sources close to the matter told Page Six that even though Fiebig and Holmes were separated for several months, the immigration lawyer was blindsided because the couple was trying to “work things out.”
“She’s devastated. She had no idea,” the informant told Page Six, adding that the two “were just together for T.J.’s birthday [on Aug. 19].”
Upon further investigation, ABC discovered that Holmes also was involved in two other relationships with two other GMA 3 staffers, allegedly one of them being married producer Natasha Singh.
As for Robach, they are still going strong. The couple was together at the airport on Christmas Day, and she is finalizing her divorce from Melrose Place actor Andrew Shue.
He “moved out earlier this summer” from the couple’s home.
Holmes and Robach’s “friendship” became romantic while training for the New York City Half Marathon in March.
