Big Sean, 36, and Jhené Aiko, 36, have been more than just lovers throughout their relationship. They are also friends, music collaborators, and now, parents. But it took a journey to get here.
The two first connected in 2012. They went to a Lakers game together after Sean invited her out. However, the “date” was considered a friendly one since Aiko was in a relationship at the time.
In the years following, the pair had several hits together including “Beware,” “I Know,” and even released a joint album called Twenty 88 in 2016. After rumors swirled, they finally confirmed they were dating. In 2017, the “Never Call Me” singer got a tattoo of her rapper boyfriend’s face on her arm, which she later covered up. During the early months of 2019, it was reported that the couple had called their relationship quits. Sean was even seen leaving the studio with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande.
Around late 2019 and early 2020, it appeared that Sean and Aiko had rekindled. They began making more public appearances again in 2021. The year following, they welcomed their first child, Noah Hasani. Aiko has a daughter, Namiko Love, 16, from a previous relationship with Omarion’s brother O’Ryan Browner.
