Who is Jhené Aiko dating? Singer's romance with Big Sean revisited ahead of Super Bowl
Celebrity singer Jhené Aiko is all set to perform at the Super Bowl LVI and fans cannot keep calm. The Los Angeles-based R&B singer enthralled all with her performance of the staple Super Bowl song, 'America The Beautiful' ahead of the Rams vs Bengals game at the SoFi stadium. With six Grammy nominations and a BET award win to her name, Jhene Aiko has been one of the top rising stars of Super Bowl, mesmerizing the audience with her beautiful vocals.
However, fans are equally eager to find out who the 33-year-old singer is dating at present. The mother of a 12-year-old daughter, Aiko had earlier been linked to celebs like Bow Wow, Donald Glover, and Big Sean among others. She shares her daughter Namiko Love Browner with artist O'Ryan. They began dating as teenagers way back in 2005, and have been co-parents to their child since their split in 2008. Aiko was also married to music producer Dot da Genius for two years before she filed for divorce in 2017.

However, the highlight of Aiko's dating history has been her three-year-long romance with Big Sean. The singer ignited dating rumors with the rapper, whose real name is Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, when she was still married to Dot da Genius. Amid rumors of her marriage hitting a rocky patch, Aiko was spotted getting cozy with Big Sean on multiple occasions.
But Aiko's friendship with Big Sean goes way back as they first met in 2010 and maintained a strong bond ever since. Over time, their friendship evolved into a romance and the pair made it official in 2016, soon after releasing their album Twenty 88 together. Sean first announced it to the public saying, "Jhené is more than just a friend. I love her and I know she loves me." The pair also shared their famous kiss onstage just two months afterward.
The couple was so close with each other and Aiko even got Sean's face tattooed on her arm and dubbed him the love of her life. However, the fairytale romance fizzled out soon. Fans smelled trouble when they saw Big Sean's ex-flame Ariana Grande getting flirtatious around him while Aiko was also covering her arm tattoo. They eventually announced their split in March 2019, but continued to remain affectionate and amicable towards each other.
However, their love did not really die down as the duo often got flirty with each other onstage and off, prompting the fans to believe that they had gotten back together. In fact, the rumors of their reunion were confirmed when Big Sean hinted in April 2021 that he was ready to propose. As per the latest reports, it is believed that they are still together though they are yet to tie the knot.
