Teyana Taylor revealed why she believed that she had a life like “Hannah Montana.” Recently, the “One Battle After Another” star shared her parenting style and compared it to the fictional character. For those unversed, the popular Disney series revolved around a girl who lived two lives. She was an ordinary person in the day, while a rockstar at night. Taking up the dual life reference, Taylor highlighted how she deals with her career and parenting at the same time.
Teyana Taylor lives ‘two different lives’ and her kids understand that
Teyana Taylor recently shared that her kids understand her parenting style. She has two daughters, Iman “Junie” Tayla Shumpert Jr., 10, and Rue Rose Shumpert, 5, whom she shares with ex-husband Iman Shumpert. Being a celebrity mom, the Oscar-nominee has a lot on her plate. But she admitted that her children have been aware that their mother’s professional and personal lives are different.
“I think because when I am home and when we are together, I’m in such mommy mode that … it’s almost like Hannah Montana,” Taylor told PEOPLE. She opened up about raising two daughters at the TIME Women of the Year Gala in West Hollywood, California, last week. Furthermore, the diva claimed that Rue and Junie have always known that their mom “lives two different lives.”
According to her, the kids “understand balance.” “Okay, here’s carpet mommy. But then here is mommy, when she’s home, we’re going to the trampoline park, we’re cooking, we’re playing, we’re drawing,” the 35-year-old explained.
Moreover, she mentioned that her baby girls might be following her footsteps. Taylor told the outlet that Junie and Rue, too, have their own ways to deal with red carpet events. “I just think it’s amazing to see how they navigate balance. It’s really inspiring. It just makes me proud as a parent,” she added. Earlier, her 5-year-old Rue caught everyone’s attention at the 2026 Actors Awards. She won the internet with her solo, sassy poses on the red carpet.
