After nearly ten years together, Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are reportedly parting ways, and this time it seems to be for good.
Sources close to the pair say the breakup boiled down to a single issue: commitment. At 36 years old, Jhené was eager to tie the knot, while Big Sean reportedly wasn’t ready to take that step. “She wanted marriage, she wanted the commitment,” an insider shared with People. “Sean loves her deeply, but he just never wanted to take that final step.”
The couple, who share a 3-year-old son named Noah, have been on and off since the mid-2010s. Fans have vividly followed their journey through the dreamy Twenty88 partnership and heartwarming public moments that made them a beloved duo in R&B and hip-hop. However, after a decade filled with love, music, and ups and downs, it seems Jhené has finally decided to prioritize her own needs. “Eventually, she realized that ring wasn’t coming,” the source added. “She decided it was time to move on.”
Despite the sad news, it appears there’s no animosity between them. “They’re in a great place. It’s peaceful,” the insider explained. “They both respect each other too much to let things get messy. They just want to do what’s best for their child.”
Rumors of their breakup started to spread after Jhené released a song with lyrics that many fans believe allude to heartbreak. The situation was further complicated by Big Sean’s recent comments to Charlamagne Tha God, in which he expressed he “wasn’t ready for marriage,” even after being together for so long.
Both artists are reportedly now focusing their energies on their music careers.
