In a recent Vanity Fair<\/a> interview, Taylor candidly addressed her relationship with the Yeezy founder, which she has previously described as familial. <\/p>\n

Despite the Grammy winner\u2019s antisemitic remarks, Taylor said her loyalty to him has not disappeared.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have to agree with everything that he do or say, but I’m not going to, like, abandon him and be like, ‘Yeah, eff that motherf–ker,'” she explained, likening the situation to disagreements she has had with her own siblings.<\/p>\n

“My brothers do shit that I don’t agree with…. I don’t get into none of that,\u201d the 35-year-old model said. <\/p>\n

While she continues to stand by the rapper, Taylor stressed that she won’t hesitate to be honest with him if the moment calls for it. \u201cIf he asks me something, he knows he’s gonna get a real answer,\u201d the choreographer noted.<\/p>\n

Beyond her relationship with the fashion designer, Taylor also revealed that she has grown close to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. The two formed a tight bond, which Taylor described as a genuine sisterhood after co-starring in Hulu’s \u201cAll’s Fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

She disclosed lighthearted details from their time on set, including lively group chats where she once urged Kardashian to call SKIMS to get her a new bra.<\/p>\n

Taylor’s latest interview isn’t the first time she has spoken fondly about her blossoming bond with \u201cThe Kardashian\u201d star.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just days earlier, The Blast<\/a> reported that the “Google Me” singer revealed that being on set with the reality star transformed their initial friendship into something stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We really went into the show [as] friends and finished out the show as sisters,\u201d Taylor shared. The actress, who plays Milan, a mentee of Kim’s character in the Ryan Murphy series, also praised the experience. She called the on-set dynamic between her and the KKW founder “really good.”<\/p>\n

Although the union’s end was marked with heated legal battles, Taylor acknowledges the relationship left its mark on her, such that she looks at it while going into future relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She described their nearly decade-long romance as a sincere expression of love, and compared its end to \u201cgrieving the death of a living being.\u201d<\/p>\n

“When I love, my love is real,\u201d Taylor confessed, as The Blast<\/a> reported\u00a0earlier. \u201cSo whatever you’ve seen was a real display of love until there was no more. And that’s okay.”<\/p>\n

Taylor and the former Cleveland Cavaliers guard finalized their divorce in 2024. That same year, the \u201cBare Wit Me\u201d singer filed a motion accusing Shumpert of violating Georgia’s automatic domestic standing order, which prohibits significant financial transactions during divorce proceedings.<\/p>\n

She alleged that the former NBA star depleted their marital assets through a series of withdrawals and loans, reducing the estate by nearly $3.8 million.<\/p>\n

In May of 2025, Shumpert moved to have the court hold the actress in contempt for violating a non-disclosure agreement in their settlement during an Instagram live. The court sided with the basketball player, and in August 2025, slammed Taylor with a $70,000 fine.<\/p>\n
