Jhene Aiko Breaks Silence On Big Sean Engagement Rumors

Jhene Aiko and Big Sean are one of the most low key celebrity couples of their generation. Both have amassed incredible success in the music industry, while at the same maintaining a private life with their son. It’s an ideal set up. That said, Aiko and Sean are still prone to gossip. The former was recently seen stepping out with a ring on her finger, which led to widespread speculation about her romantic status. It was suspected that Big Sean had proposed to the singer. Jhene Aiko decided to hop on Twitter to clarify what was going on, though.

A fan posted a TikTok of Jhene Aiko and Big Sean out on the town. A ring can clearly be spotted on her hand, which delighted fans. “Bullying works,” the fan wrote above the TikTok. The singer commented in a matter of minutes, however, to clarify the backstory of the ring. “The ring is from my stylist,” she stated. “It only fit on that finger. The more you know.” Jhene Aiko and Big Sean have been dating for eight years, which has led many fans to question why they aren’t already married. Sean actually spoke on the matter during the promotion of his last album, Better Me Than You.

And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all.”
