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.”

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko relationship

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.'"
