Jesse Williams & Taylour Paige Split, 'Zola' Actress Spotted Getting Close With Musician Kane Ritchotte

Jesse Williams and Taylour Paige have broken up and all signs point to the relationship being over for some time.
This week, the 31-year-old actress found out she was nominated for her first Film Independent Spirit Awards. Taylour received rave reviews for her role in Zola and is a serious Oscar contender. One person who failed to congratulate the actress is Jesse.
Back in May 2019, Jesse and Taylour made their first red carpet appearance at the Ozwald Boateng Harlem Runway Show at the Apollo Theater. The exes used the event to reveal they were a couple. It was the first serious relationship for the actor since his nasty divorce.
The two were inseparable for over a year and attended numerous events together. The last event they appear to have attended together was the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February 2020. The couple was photographed together throughout the pandemic running errands and walking dogs.
They even sat down for an interview with GQ that was published in February 2021. "She's very feminine and into spiritual planes, astrology. I'm very practical, fact-based, and masculine," Jesse dished.
Around the same time, Jesse and Taylour stopped liking each other's Instagram posts. He hasn't liked a single post on her page since February 2021.
The couple — who once had a ton of photos of each other on their grid — appear to have erased all traces of the other from their accounts. To make matters worse, the former couple has unfollowed each other on Instagram.

In the past couple of months, Taylour has been seen getting cozy with her new man/musician Kane Ritchotte. Taylour first made an appearance on his Instagram in June. The two were seen on a hike in Los Angeles with a male friend.
A couple of days later, Kane posed for a photo on Hollywood Blvd. taken by Taylour. He posted the photo with a kissing lips emoji. She commented, "yum."
In October, Taylour was seen at Kane's birthday party holding the cake with the candles lit. Weeks later, he shared a series of couple's photos with the actress captioned with a heart emoji. She commented, "love you kind kind man."
Another friend wrote, "The cutest couple" and a third person remarked, "cute cute couple." Taylour has yet to make it Instagram official with the musician.
