Rapper Big Sean has been together with his babys mother Jhene Aikido for 8 years, but he has no immediate plans to marry her, Media Take Out learned.
In a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God, he explained why.
The radio host also asked the Detroit MC, born Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, why he and Aiko, also 36, had not yet tied the knot — or if they’d already done “one of those secret industry weddings.” Sean replied laughing: “No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage.”
“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.”
“To me, marriage symbolizes like the best relationship,” he continued.
Big Sean added that the idea of having to get married is “almost a fear-based way of thinking,” noting that divorce rates are very high. However, he did not say that he would never consider marriage.
“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 said.
Charlamange offered a bit of advice: “Well take it from somebody who’s been with their woman for twenty-six years, right? It’s always gonna be ups and downs, period. The work’s never gonna stop.”
Sean and Aiko met in 2012, and have been dating on and off since the release of their 2016 collaborative album, Twenty88. In November 2022, the couple welcomed their first child together — Noah Hasani.
