Former NBA star Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s messy divorce in jeopardy with the deadline to submit a settlement days away
Former NBA star Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s impending (and messy) divorce may be in jeopardy, with days left to file a written settlement.
The judge overseeing their divorce gives the couple a deadline of June 27, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.
Shumpert and Taylor were reportedly in court on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this past week to resolve various issues that led to their split. However, the judge wants them to put it on pen and paper so she can sign off.
The judge requests a final judgment, a parenting plan and a child support addendum/worksheet to be submitted Thursday afternoon.
If they don’t meet the deadline, their case will be dismissed.

While a dismissal won’t stop them from taking the case to court, meeting the deadline will mean a turbulent end to their marriage.
Shumpert and Taylor met at a party in New York City in 2011 and made their relationship Instagram official in June 2014. In September 2015, they announced their pregnancy with their first daughter, Iman Jr., born in December of that year.
The month before they welcomed their firstborn, Taylor and Shumpert announced their engagement on Instagram. They then revealed in September 2016 that they had secretly married.
The couple welcomed their second daughter, Rue Rose, in September 2020.

It seemed like a blissful life until TMZ reported that Taylor secretly filed for 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 turned off the utilities in their home, leaving them and their daughters without water and other basic necessities.
Additionally, they have been fighting over money, with Taylor claiming the former Cleveland Cavalier withdrew $4 million from shared accounts, leaving her to take care of $200,000 worth of home renovations.
