Big Sean Says He Hasn’t Married Jhené Aiko Yet Because ‘There’s a Lot of Work That Needs to Be Done’

“No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage,” Sean responded. “It’s a little personal, you know what I mean? 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.”

For Sean, “marriage symbolizes the best relationship,” and that “having a relationship is first and foremost.”

“I feel like a lot of people get the idea of like, ‘Oh, you have to get married,'” Sean added. “But then it’s like, to me, that’s almost a fear-based way of thinking, too. Because then people be getting divorced. The divorce rate so fucking high.”

The rapper clarified that marriage isn’t off the table, but they haven’t yet reached the point where they are ready to take that step.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” Sean shared.

Elsewhere, Sean emphasized that, regardless of their relationship status, as parents and collaborators, they’re “always going to be tied together no matter what.”

“I can only speak for myself that there needs to be like more work done so we could keep going,” Sean added. “There’s a lot of focus on our family, there’s a lot of focus on careers and everything, and that is something that I feel like has not been the main focus.”

Sean and Aiko share a 20-month-old son, Noah Hasani, while the “Guidance” singer also has a 15-year-old daughter, Namiko Love, with her ex-boyfriend, O’Ryan Browner. Aiko was married to Dot da Genius from 2014 to 2016.
