American rapper Big Sean recently opened up about why he and singer Jhené Aiko have not married despite their eight-year relationship. In an interview with Charlamagne tha God on the ‘Out of Context’ podcast, which aired last Friday, Sean explained that he feels he is not yet ready for marriage because “there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”
He shared, “It’s a little personal, you know what I mean? But just like to be real with you, just like any person who has dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs… And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all. To me, marriage symbolizes, like, the best relationship. I would like to, and I don’t like putting our personal business out there like that either, but there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”
Sean and Aiko have had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2016. At the start of their relationship, Aiko was married to producer Dot da Genius, but she filed for divorce in August 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple welcomed their son, Noah, in November 2022. Aiko also has a 15-year-old daughter, Namiko, from her previous relationship with singer O’Ryan.
Previously, Sean proposed to his ex-fiancée, Naya Rivera, in October 2013. However, their engagement ended six months later, and Rivera, who passed away in 2020, was not married to Sean at the time of her death.
