Big Sean Explains Why He Hasn’t Married Jhene Aiko After 8 Years: ‘Personal’

Big Sean and Jhene Aiko have always intrigued fans both musically and romantically. The duo, who met in 2012, have been an on-and-off couple since their 2016 collaboration on the album “Twenty88.” While their relationship has captivated people for eight years, they haven’t yet taken the step towards marriage. In a revealing conversation on Charlamagne Tha God’s “Out Of Context” podcast, Big Sean shared why they haven’t tied the knot and provided insight into their relationship dynamics, according to JustJared.

During the podcast, Charlamagne playfully asked if the couple had secretly gotten married. With a chuckle, Big Sean debunked the rumor, saying, “No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage.” He then touched upon the complexities in their relationship, noting that, like any couple, they’ve faced their ups and downs. “It’s a little personal, you know what I mean?” Big Sean said. “But just like any people who have dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs, you know what I’m saying? And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all.”

The rapper, now a father of one, stressed the importance of resolving these issues before committing to marriage. “To me, marriage symbolizes like the best relationship,” he explained. However, he voiced his concerns about marriage, mentioning high divorce rates and an “almost fear-based way of thinking” around it. This cautious approach suggests a desire to avoid rushing into marriage without fully understanding its implications and responsibilities.

Big Sean and Jhene Aiko’s relationship entered a new phase in November 2022 with the birth of their first child, Noah Hasani. This happy event marked a fresh chapter for the couple, who were already dealing with the intricacies of a blended family. Aiko has a 15-year-old daughter, Namiko Love, from a previous relationship with O’Ryan, the younger brother of R&B star Omarion. Despite the additional responsibilities of parenthood, the couple has remained committed to nurturing their relationship and personal development.

Charlamagne, drawing from his own long-term relationship of over twenty-six years, reminded Big Sean that ups and downs are a natural part of any relationship. “The work’s never gonna stop,” Charlamagne noted, emphasizing the ongoing effort needed for a healthy relationship. Big Sean agreed, acknowledging that there’s still “a lot of work that needs to be done” before they consider marriage.

As Big Sean and Jhene Aiko continue to navigate through love, parenthood, and their respective careers, only time will tell what the future holds for the couple. Whether they choose to get married or not, their dedication to each other and their willingness to address challenges make them a compelling pair. For now, it appears they are focused on their family and personal journeys, taking life one step at a time.
