She said: “He damn near like EP’d (executive produced)! Like not literally, but damn near!”
The dancer and singer continued, giving fans an insight into how the couple is out of the limelight.
She said: “I’m really big on how you handle me, and I feel like you gotta handle me like a cup of tea…he handles me as such.”

Aaron isn’t just a supportive partner but has helped Teyana throughout the creative process of the new album and has shared just as much passion for it as she has.
Her visual album ‘Escape Room’, addresses her divorce from ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, with whom she has two kids.‘
Escape Room’ is set to be released in August 2025.
