“Whole new motivation foreal!” he wrote. “Very grateful God continues to bless us, Thank You. Can’t wait to be a Dad.”

Rumors of Aiko’s pregnancy first surfaced, last month, when a user on Twitter claimed to have run into the singer at Whole Foods and noticed her baby bump.
“I [just] saw Jhené Aiko and Big Sean at Whole Foods and she’s very pregnant. [I know that’s right] Sean,” the user wrote at the time.
Sean and Aiko began dating back in 2016 and were on and off for a number of years. As a duo, Twenty88, they’ve released one full-length project together and reportedly have another on the way. On the 2020 song, “Deep Reverence”, Sean revealed that Jhené Aiko had a miscarriage with him.
“Should be a billionaire based on the time off I’m not takin’/Probably why this shit with me get crazy and we lost a baby,” he rapped.
Sean later confirmed that the reference was true during an interview on Sway in the Morning.
