Jhené Aiko Reveals Why Big Sean Won’t Marry Her After 8 Years Together

For nearly a decade, Jhené Aiko and Big Sean have been one of music’s most beloved couples, blending their talents and lives both on and off the stage.

Fans have long wondered why, after eight years and a child together, the pair still haven’t tied the knot. Recently, both artists opened up about their unconventional views on marriage, and the real reasons behind their decision.

Jhené and Big Sean first met in 2012, instantly clicking as friends and collaborators—even though both were in other relationships at the time. Over the years, they dated other people, including Sean’s high-profile engagement to Naya Rivera and Jhené’s brief marriage to Dot Da Genius.

Their chemistry, however, was undeniable, leading to musical collaborations and a deepening bond. By 2016, the two were inseparable, launching their joint project “Twenty88,” and confirming their romance with a public kiss.

Their relationship has weathered ups and downs, including breakups, rumors, and even Jhené covering up a tattoo of Sean’s face. Despite the drama, the pair always found their way back to each other, eventually welcoming a child in 2022.

This milestone led fans to speculate about an engagement, especially when Jhené was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand. However, she quickly clarified it was just a piece of jewelry for her stylist and not an engagement ring.

So why haven’t they married? According to Big Sean, marriage isn’t necessarily the goal. In recent interviews, he’s explained that while he sees marriage as a symbol of the “best relationship,” he also views it as a societal expectation rooted in fear—especially fear of divorce, given how high divorce rates are.

He believes the relationship itself is what matters most, and that marriage should be a natural byproduct, not a forced milestone.

Jhené echoes these sentiments, saying that a strong relationship is more important than a wedding. She’s not in a rush to get married just because it’s expected.

Both agree that there’s still “work to be done” in their relationship, and they prefer to keep their personal business private rather than succumb to public pressure.

Fans have mixed reactions to their stance. Some see red flags, especially since Big Sean was previously engaged to someone else after just a few months, while he hesitates to marry Jhené after years together.

Others respect their honesty and commitment to doing what feels right for them, rather than following tradition.

Despite the speculation, Jhené and Big Sean remain close partners, co-parents, and collaborators. Their relationship is a blend of deep friendship, musical partnership, and family life.

For now, marriage isn’t off the table, but it’s not a priority either. Their story challenges the notion that love must follow a certain script, showing that every couple’s path is unique.

Will Big Sean ever marry Jhené Aiko? Only time will tell. For now, they are content building their life on their own terms—ring or no ring.
