Jhené Aiko Shuts Down Engagement Rumors to Big Sean After Wearing Sparkler on Her Ring Finger: ‘The More You Know’
The singer and rapper — have been dating on and off for eight years — share a 2-year-old son
No, Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are not engaged — Aiko's stylist just knows how to accessorize!
After the “Sativa” singer, 36, was spotted with a large sparkler on her left ring finger during a night out with longtime partner, also 36, she made a rare post about their relationship to shut down engagement rumors.
After a social media user shared a video of Aiko at the GQ Men of the Year event from Thursday, Nov. 14 and pointed out the ring in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Aiko cleared up the reason for the giant sparkler with a short response.
This ring is from my stylist ✨ it only fit on that finger 😘 the more you know 💫

“This ring is from my stylist ✨ it only fit on that finger 😘 the more you know 💫,” Aiko replied to the video, in which she appeared to show off the large ring while posing for pics as Big Sean walked behind her.
And, in response to another reply asking her to clarify that it is “not a wedding ring,” the star wrote, “Correct 😌.”
“I did get myself something beautiful for my right hand tho 🥰,” she added.

While appearing on Charlamange Tha God’s Out of Context podcast in August, the host asked the “All Me” rapper why he and Aiko haven’t tied the knot — or if they had, but in “one of those secret industry weddings.”
“No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage,” Big Sean replied with a laugh.
“It's a little personal, you know what I mean?” he continued. “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.”

The rapper went on to say that to him, “marriage symbolizes, like, the best relationship,” and the idea of having to get married is “almost a fear-based way of thinking,” given high divorce rates.
Big Sean did not, however, 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,” he explained. “But there's a lot of work that needs to be done.”
