Teyana Taylor suffers from “separation anxiety”.
The 35-year-old actress – who has Rue, six, and Junie, 11 – has revealed that she struggles to balance her career with the demands of motherhood.
Teyana told Allure: “I do get separation anxiety and go into little depressions when I’m away from them. It’s one of the busiest, most successful years of my career, and I’m trying to balance that with motherhood.”
The Hollywood star thinks her physical appearance can often be misleading.
She said: “I got strong features. I look very androgynous, and I think people get intimidated just by looking at me. I don’t get a lot of grace. They treat me like I’m tough when I’m really a princess. I am just a girl.”
Teyana also revealed that she’s sensitive to external criticism.
The actress explained: “My muscle memory is love. It does hurt when I see certain things on the internet [about herself] because I’m like, ‘Damn, I thought people would be happy.’”
Meanwhile, Teyana previously admitted that she’s “always been a big dreamer”.
The actress received an Oscar nomination for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, the 2025 action thriller film, and she subsequently opened up about her career ambitions.
She said on the Awardist podcast: “You never know which one of them dreams is gonna become a reality. So I’ve always been a big dreamer.
“I dream about everything, all the possibilities, even just bucket list stuff. Just growing up watching SNL, who would’ve ever thought that I would’ve been hosting SNL in this same year that I’m like nominated for an Oscar. Like, I used to be that little girl watching the Oscars.
“To now be in that space where I’m probably the one that another little girl sitting at home is watching me or saying that she loves my dress, or saying that she loves my speech, like, oh my God, I’m getting chills talking about that.
“It’s a lot in the best way, you know? I’m so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.”
