Jhené Aiko and Big Sean have a baby on the way.

On Sunday, the R&B singer was spotted strolling through Beverly Hills, sporting a new baby bump alongside her partner, rapper Big Sean. After a photo of the couple hit the internet, Sean confirmed the news on his Instagram, expressing his excitement at bringing new life into the world.

“Whole new motivation foreal!” Sean wrote in a now-expired Instagram Story. “Very grateful God continues to bless us thank you.”

“Can’t wait to be a dad,” he continued on the next slide.

With singing bowls for your chakras and slinky R&B, Jhené Aiko wants to heal you

Jhené Aiko will compete for three Grammy Awards in 2021, including the prestigious album of the year trophy for her “Chilombo” LP.

Dec. 10, 2020

Sean and Aiko began dating in 2016 and released an album together called “Twenty88” — a futuristic play on their shared birthyear, 1988. In 2020, Sean rapped about the pain of his partner enduring a miscarriage on his song “Deep Reverence,” which features the late Nipsey Hussle.

“Should be a billionaire based on the time off I’m not takin’/ Probably why the s— with me get crazy and we lost a baby,” he rapped.

Although he didn’t mention Aiko by name, he later confirmed that the line referenced the two of them, telling radio host Sway Calloway he played her the song to get her approval before releasing it.

Her latest album, "Trip", is her most personal effort to date with the singer channeling the grief of losing her brother and trying to find herself and focus on healing. (Myung J.

Jhené Aiko was in search of healing and her new project ‘Trip’ helped her find it

“Can you pull over,” Jhené Aiko asks her driver before hopping out of the black Suburban, instructing me to take her place in the backseat.

Sept. 22, 2017

“It’s definitely a tough situation,” he said on “Sway in the Morning.” “But everything happens in the right time. I got so much faith in God and the universe, so I’ll just leave it there.”

Aiko is already the mother of a daughter, Namiko, whom she has frequently sung about. She’s also featured Namiko, 13, on many of her songs, including the standout “Promises” — although that streak recently came to an end.

“My daughter has been on all of my albums, except for this last one,” she told the singer CL for Rolling Stone’s “Musicians on Musicians” series. “She was like, ‘No, I’ll skip this one.’ She’s kind of too cool for me right now.”

Only time will tell if we hear a feature from the next addition to the family.
