It looks like one of R&B’s favorite love stories has come to an end. Reports say Big Sean and Jhené Aiko — the power duo fans have adored for nearly a decade — have quietly gone their separate ways.

The news has taken social media by storm, with timelines flooded by heartbreak and disbelief from fans who’ve followed their love journey through music and beyond.

Sources close to the couple say the split didn’t happen overnight. After years of being “on and off,” the pair — who share a son, Noah Hasani Chilombo-Anderson — are said to have finally called it quits over a major difference in long-term goals.

According to insiders, Jhené wanted marriage, but Sean wasn’t ready to take that leap. One source told AllHipHop that she had given “multiple ultimatums,” hoping he’d commit. But when it became clear that the ring wasn’t coming, she decided to move on.

So far, neither Big Sean nor Jhené Aiko has made any public statement, leaving fans hoping the story might not be over just yet.

Whatever the case, it’s the end of an era for one of music’s most soulful duos.
