Big Sean, the 36-year-old rapper, recently shared insights on his relationship with longtime girlfriend Jhené Aiko. Despite dating for eight years, the couple has not yet tied the knot. Sean mentioned that there is still work to be done before considering marriage, emphasizing the importance of navigating their relationship effectively.
Sean expressed his belief that marriage symbolizes the best relationship but cautioned against viewing it as a requirement, highlighting the high divorce rates prevalent today. While he did not rule out the possibility of marrying Aiko in the future, he acknowledged the need for further growth and understanding in their relationship.
The couple, who are also musical collaborators in the group Twenty88, share a deep connection that transcends various roles, including being peers, lovers, and parents to their 1-year-old son, Noah. Sean emphasized the significance of being on the same page with Aiko and acknowledged the ongoing work required to sustain their bond.
Aiko and Sean's relationship began in 2016, coinciding with the release of their album 'Twenty88.' Aiko was previously married to producer Dot da Genius, with whom she parted ways in 2016. The couple welcomed their son, Noah, in November 2022, adding to Aiko's family that includes her daughter Namiko, 15, from a previous relationship.
While Sean had proposed to ex-girlfriend Naya Rivera in 2013, their engagement was called off six months later. Despite this past experience, Sean remains committed to nurturing his relationship with Aiko and continuing to evolve as partners.
