The innanet is absolutely obsessed with Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s relationship.

Over the past decade, the duo has proven to be one of the most beloved power couples in music. From chart-topping hits to a soulful joint album, and even the ultimate collaboration—parenthood—their journey is as inspiring as it is artistic.


We get it — it’s not fair for that much beauty and talent to be in one relationship. The “Triggered” singer was seen wearing a large diamond ring at the GQ Men of the Year event on November 14, but she quickly clarified that it was just a fashion accessory and not an engagement ring.

Jhené Aiko addresses engagement rumors

Jhené Aiko clarified the reason behind her wearing a large ring after a social media user posted a video of her with the ring and speculated about its meaning. Replying to the video, she said, “This ring is from my stylist ✨ it only fit on that finger 😘 the more you know 💫.” She got another commenter together who wrote, “not a wedding ring,” with a reply of, “Correct 😌.”

Sean told TMZ Jhené is "the one" -- for him. Of course, TMZ added some flair stating, “They just celebrated their son Noah's 2nd birthday and don't need no stinkin' altar to prove their love to all you curmudgeons!!!”

The rapper also discussed his relationship with the L.A. native on Charlamagne Tha God's podcast, stating they haven't had a secret wedding. He acknowledged their relationship has had ups and downs, and views marriage as the "best relationship" but also fears the high divorce rate. He didn't rule out marriage but emphasized the need for work in their relationship before considering it.

Big Sean marriage plans

“It's a little personal, you know what I mean?” Sean said in the interview with Charlamagne. “But just like to be real with you, 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.”

First Sparks

Their first major collaboration came with “Beware,” a sultry track featuring Lil Wayne. The song gave fans an early taste of their undeniable chemistry, both musically and personally. It left many wondering if the sparks extended beyond the studio. In a 2016 interview withFlaunt Magazine, Jhene said, "It was just very comfortable. I think secretly there's a little competition — I want my verse to sound better than his, and he wants his to sound better than mine." Shortly after, they were seen together at a Lakers game, despite Aiko being in a relationship at the time.

Music That Speaks Love

Songs like “I Know” or “None of Your Concern,” explored their relationship dynamics. Their vulnerability in their art is one of the things that makes them so relatable.

Twenty88 Project

Sean and Jhené solidified their creative partnership with the release of their joint project, Twenty88. The album seamlessly blended their styles into a futuristic and soulful exploration of love, relationships, and heartbreak. Songs like “Selfish” and “Talk Show” became fan favorites, while the project hinted at the depth of their bond.

Not gonna lie, Twenty88 is one of my favorite albums.

LOML

Aiko discussed her relationship with Big Sean publicly for the first time in an interview with Billboard, following the release of her second studio album. She revealed that her relationship with Big Sean began as a friendship, which she believes contributes to its strength. She also shared that after losing her brother in 2012, she sought to find herself and a partner reminiscent of him, ultimately leading her to Big Sean.

"We were forced to really, really get to know each other on a friendship level, you know what I mean? And to the point where he was even at my brother's funeral. We talk to each other on a friendship level throughout all of my relationship."

Once the universe thought the time was right, the two found themselves single. “We actually already loved each other as people and then it was like, 'Okay, let's just, you know, be together.' So it was different because of that friendship. That comes first, we're friends before anything. We can bicker like a friendship," she said. "I don't know what the future holds, but as far as my life goes right now, yeah, he's 'L-O-M-L.'"

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko Welcoming Noah Hasani

Their most profound collaboration yet: the birth of their son, Noah Hasani, marked their greatest collaboration yet. Becoming parents not only solidified their bond but also symbolized a new chapter in their love story.

While marriage has not yet been part of their story, Big Sean has expressed that it's still a possibility, though not a priority at this time. The couple continues to navigate their relationship with love, creativity, and mutual support.

Let This Valentine's Day Be When You Write Him A 'Sex Love Letter'

Know what I’m old enough to remember? MCI phone cards. Billing phone calls to third numbers. Beepers. Two-ways. A life without cell phones (let alone smartphones) and the internet. So, you know what all of this meant, right? Communication, especially communication with a bae, was oftentimes expensive and/or challenging, and, especially if it was a long-distance situation, it required that you be prepared to write at least a few letters from time to time.

Now? Well, let me put it this way: When’s the last time that you sat down to handwrite a grocery list, let alone a love letter? Oh, please believe that I am pointing the finger at myself too because, these days, even I attempt to jot down a quick message in a greeting card, I think about how stellar my father’s penmanship was and I’m damn near mortified in comparison…all because I don’t handwrite things, nearly as much as I should. SMDH.
