The Mufasa: The Lion King actor turned 31 with a birthday dinner that doubled as a relationship reveal, thanks to Taylor’s surprise party move.

As soon as Pierre walked into the private celebration, he shared a kiss with Taylor—a moment that pretty much hard-launched their romance for everyone watching.

Pierre’s birthday wasn’t the first time people wondered if something was up between him and Taylor. Back in February 2025, fans spotted them close together at the American Black Film Festival Honors, where Pierre picked up the Rising Star Award. The pair also turned heads at the Oscars and even posted matching black-and-white portraits on Instagram.

Pierre is also getting buzz for starring with Taylor in her Escape Room visual album trailer, which drops in August 2025, where the two play love interests. Before this, Taylor finalized her divorce from Iman Shumpert, but she’s kept things positive, sharing co-parenting duties for their two daughters.
