Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s messy divorce in jeopardy

Former NBA star Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s impending – and messy – divorce may be in jeopardy with days left to submit a written settlement.

The judge overseeing their divorce is giving the pair a June 27 deadline, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.

Shumpert and Taylor were reportedly in court on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this past week to hash out several issues that led to their split. However, the judge wants them to put it in pen and paper so she can sign off.

The judge is asking for a final judgment, parenting plan, and child support addendum/worksheet turned in by noon on Thursday.

If they fail to meet the deadline, their case will be dismissed.

While a dismissal won’t keep them from bringing the case back to court, meeting the deadline will conclude a turbulent ending to their marriage.

Shumpert and Taylor met at a New York City party in 2011 and made their relationship Instagram official in June 2014. By September 2015, they announced their pregnancy with their first daughter, Iman Jr., born in December that year.

The month before welcoming their firstborn, Taylor and Shumpert announced their engagement on Instagram. They then revealed in September 2016 that they secretly got married. 

The pair welcomed their second daughter, Rue Rose, in September 2020.

It appeared to be a blissful life until TMZ reported that Taylor secretly filed for a divorce in January 2023 – more than eight months before they announced their separation.

Since then, the drama unfolded as Taylor accused Shumpert of being under the influence while caring for their children and claimed he cut off the utilities in their home, leaving her and their daughters without water and other bare necessities.

Furthermore, they have been fighting over money, with Taylor claiming the former Cleveland Cavalier withdrew $ 4 million from shared accounts and left her to take care of $200,000 worth of home renovations.
