In the world of hip-hop and R&B, some couples seem untouchable, and Big Sean and Jhené Aiko have always been one of those rare duos fans believed in. Their chemistry, both in music and real life, inspired countless love songs and unforgettable moments. But as 2025 draws to a close, new reports suggest that the power couple may have officially gone their separate ways.
Writing about this isn’t about gossip, it’s about recognizing how deeply their love story shaped hip-hop and R&B culture. From their collaborations under TWENTY88 to their emotional performances, they brought real intimacy into rap, showing the world that vulnerability could coexist with lyrical power.
Now, after nearly ten years together and one beautiful child, the two artists may be walking different paths. While neither has publicly addressed the situation, several reports indicate that the breakup was rooted in their personal views on commitment.
Reports claim marriage was the breaking point
According to AllHipHop, sources close to the pair revealed that Jhené Aiko was ready to take the next step, while Big Sean wasn’t sure he was ready for marriage.
“She wanted marriage, she wanted the commitment,” one source told AllHipHop. “Sean loves her deeply, but he just never wanted to take that final step.”
The same insider added that Aiko had given him “multiple ultimatums” over the years, hoping he’d change his mind. But when it became clear that the proposal she hoped for wasn’t coming, she decided it was time to move on.
Even though the rumors have yet to be confirmed by either artist, social media has been buzzing with speculation for days. Fans of both R&B and hip-hop have expressed sadness online, calling the pair’s bond “one of the realest” in the industry.
Co-parenting and respect remain a priority
Despite the reports of their separation, it seems Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are handling things with maturity and grace.
“They’re in a great place, it’s peaceful. They both respect each other too much to let things get messy. They just want to do what’s best for their child,” the source said.
The couple welcomed their son, Noah Hasani Chilombo-Anderson, back in 2022. Earlier this year, Sean opened up on The Jennifer Hudson Show about fatherhood, saying it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of his life.
For now, it seems the pair is focused on raising their son and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship. Whether or not their romantic story is truly over, one thing’s for sure, Big Sean and Jhené Aiko will always remain connected through their music, their history, and the love they poured into each other’s art.
