Jhené Aiko has clarified that she’s not engaged to Big Sean after the internet began speculating that she was thanks to a new ring on her finger.
Aiko and Sean were spotted by paparazzi leaving the 2024 GQ Men of the Year party when the singer flexed a giant ring on her finger — the very same finger that people usually put rings that signify that they’re engaged to someone else.
After a video of her wearing the ring went viral on X, Aiko responded with a definitive explanation. “This ring is from my stylist,” she wrote. “It only fit on that finger. The more you know.”
Aiko and Sean have been dating for roughly over a decade, but Sean explained why he hasn’t proposed yet during a recent episode of Charlamagne Tha God’s Out of Context — even though they share a young son together.
"No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage," Sean said, responding to Charlamagne asking if they’d tied the knot without anyone knowing. "It's a little personal, you know what I mean? 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."
"I feel like a lot of people get the idea of like, 'Oh, you have to get married,'" Sean added. "But then it's like, to me, that's almost a fear-based way of thinking, too. Because then people be getting divorced. The divorce rate so fucking high."
That same month while they were performing their song “Beware” in Los Angeles to a crowd, Aiko mouthed the words “what ring?” and pointed to her finger while Sean rapped about giving one to her on the song.
