Big Sean and Jhené Aiko, a beloved couple in the music industry for over a decade, are navigating the complexities of their relationship while raising their one-year-old son, Noah.
Despite their long-standing bond, the pair has yet to tie the knot. In a recent interview on Charlamagne Tha God’s podcast, Out of Context, which premiered on August 2 on YouTube, Big Sean candidly discussed why marriage isn’t in the immediate future for him and Jhené.
During the conversation, Charlamagne asked Big Sean if the couple had secretly married, to which he responded with a smile, “No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage.”
Big Sean explained, “It’s a little personal, you know what I mean? But just like any people who have dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs. It’s about finding the right navigation through it all.”
“I feel like a lot of people think, ‘Oh, you have to get married,’ but that’s almost a fear-based way of thinking because then people end up getting divorced. The divorce rate is so high.”
He emphasized the need for continued effort in their relationship, stating, “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”
While marriage isn’t off the table, Big Sean believes that their careers and personal growth sometimes overshadow their relationship. “I can only speak for myself, but there needs to be more work done so we can keep going.”
“There’s a lot of focus on our family, our careers, and everything, and that hasn’t been the main focus.”
