Tiana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s divorce is finalized, and it looks like Tiana will be smiling all the way to the bank. But how has Iman taken the settlement? Is it enough payback for everything Tiana went through?
This divorce has been pretty messy, and it only got messier towards the end with a lot of back-and-forth between Tiana and Iman. Some of the requests were just insane. Iman reportedly asked the judge to return some of the items he gifted Tiana, like her jewelry and a condo, now that they are no longer married. He also wanted a portion of the music royalties Tiana earned before they got married. Additionally, he requested lower child support payments, arguing there’s a pay gap between him and Tiana. But I had a feeling that wouldn’t fly because details of Iman’s financial situation came to light. Sources disclosed that he has significant monthly expenses, totaling at least $112,500. This includes over $114,000 on dining out, $144,000 on his podcast, and more than $6,000 on music video production each month. He also spends $10,500 on lunch monthly and $119,000 a month on travel between South Atlanta and Alpharetta for work. So, that request for lower child support was never going to cut it.
So, the ruling is in, and it looks like Iman didn’t get a lot of what he was asking for. Tiana gets to keep four major properties worth over $10 million—pretty significant assets from their shared estate. She’s also getting several vehicles, including a Maybach, a Mercedes Sprinter, a tour bus, and her beloved Bronco truck. Plus, she keeps all her jewelry and has 100% ownership of her companies, Taylor Made and Aunties.
As for Iman, he’ll hold onto his fancy Miami condo, along with his compounds in South Georgia and Decatur, Georgia. He’ll also keep his investments in Chumper Chump. While they didn’t reveal the specifics during the trial, it sounds like these investments cover a variety of sectors.
Additionally, Iman has to make a one-time payment of seven figures to Tiana and pay $88,000 per month in child support. He’s also been ordered to cover all the private school fees for their two daughters.
Long before this moment, their divorce was already steeped in drama. Tiana accused Iman of being jealous of her fame and feeling insecure about not measuring up, despite his high earnings from basketball compared to her music career. In her divorce filing, Tiana claimed that Iman would get annoyed at public events when photographers asked him to step aside from the frame. She also detailed how Iman sent her hurtful text messages filled with condescension and manipulation whenever she was in the spotlight.
According to court documents, Tiana began to downplay her success to keep peace in their marriage as Iman grew increasingly resentful of her stardom. She even turned down recording and acting opportunities because Iman didn’t want her to work. Ironically, when she stopped working after giving birth to one of their children, Iman criticized her for not bringing in money. This led Tiana to file for divorce, citing Iman’s cruel treatment and narcissistic behavior throughout most of their time together.
Furthermore, Tiana mentioned that she had considered divorcing Iman on two prior occasions before ultimately making the decision, pointing to allegations of his infidelity both before and during her pregnancy, as well as after they were married. She also claimed that Iman had sent pictures of himself and their two-month-old child to another woman she suspected he was involved with, which deeply upset her. In a court filing from 2018, Tiana also accused Iman of consistently neglecting his responsibilities as a father, alleging that he failed to feed their children while he was at home with them. She asserted that Iman often smoked and appeared to be under the influence while looking after their daughters, who were 7 and 3 years old at the time. Tiana recounted an incident where Iman had the children dropped off near the United Center in Chicago while he was somewhere else. She argued that these actions showed a pattern of disregarding their children’s safety, which ultimately contributed to her decision to end their relationship.
There’s more to the story. Tiana revealed that Iman had secretly taken out loans without her knowledge, depleting their marital assets by over $3.7 million. She also criticized him for failing to pay property taxes on their Miami home, something he had always managed until recently deciding to stop. Their relationship had its fair share of messiness, making their decision to split seem like the best move forward.
For those who remember, back in April 2023, rumors swirled about Iman and Tiana living apart, though they maintained appearances. Tiana leaned on her mom a lot during this time as she adjusted to being a single mom. Addressing the rumors on Instagram later, Tiana confirmed they had been separated for a while and clarified that cheating wasn’t the reason for their breakup, a point she had consistently defended:
“Just to be clear, Iman and I have been separated for some time now. I want to make it clear that cheating wasn’t a factor in our decision to part ways. We’re still great friends, solid business partners, and committed co-parents to our two amazing kids. Most importantly, we’re family. Throughout our 10-year journey, including 7 years of marriage, we’ve always valued honesty and mutual respect.”
Certainly! It seems like Tiana’s relationship with Iman has been tumultuous, marked by several challenges and allegations. Over the years, there were numerous accusations of infidelity and even rumors about their private life, including threesomes. Despite attempts to salvage their marriage, such as opening it up, the issues persisted. Ultimately, Tiana decided to end the relationship for her own well-being, signaling a chapter of healing and closure for her.
As for the financial aspects of their divorce, opinions vary. Some argue that Iman should face financial consequences for his actions, while others believe the outcome should be fair and just based on legal principles and the specifics of their situation. It’s a complex matter that depends on many factors, including the division of assets and contributions during their marriage.
In the end, the decision lies with the courts, and without knowing all the details, it’s challenging to make a definitive judgment on whether the ruling was fair or not. Each divorce case is unique, and it’s important to consider all perspectives before forming an opinion.
