Big Sean and Jhené Aiko have given fans another glimpse inside their life as a family of three, with a new social media post featuring their infant son, Noah.
The post, which was shared via Big Sean’s TikTok feed, finds the couple sitting in Noah’s nursery facing each other as Aiko bounces the almost 3-month-old on her shoulder while solemnly looking her partner in the eyes.

The TWENTY88 collaborators then proceed to lip sync to the last chorus on Big Sean’s 2015 single “I Know,” which hears Jhené Aiko singing an alternate, expanded version of the hook’s lyrics, following Sean’s “I know you’ve been runnin’ on empty,” with a sped up, “(Don’t love the same, I know you’ve been diving through pain/ I know you runnin’ so crazy, I know you runnin’ on empty/ That shit can fuck with your mente/I know this shit, don’t you tempt me, I know you).”
When Big Sean reaches the line “The way you move it’s like you could use a vacation,” the new parents give each other a knowing look.
@bigsean I know you been… 🖤 #fyp
While “I Know” speaks to a couple trying to push their way through a rough patch, the lyrics are also applicable to the adjustments Big Sean and Jhené Aiko have had to make since confirming that they were expecting their first child together back in July of last year.
The two announced Noah’s arrival in November, a little less than two weeks after his birth. Earlier this month, Aiko posted the baby’s first public picture in her IG Stories, though they have yet to offer fans a look at his face.

Following Noah’s birth on November 8, Big Sean gave some insight into the labor in an Instagram post, writing: “After 24 hours of Labor, A Lunar Eclipse, with rain from the beginning of labor til he was born, he’s here safe and sound. Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son.”
The couple may be fully focused on parenthood, they followed Big Sean’s TikTok with a video on Jhené Aiko’s feed on the platform that saw them participating in one of the viral challenges in which the participants answer questions about their relationship.

The two artists have been fairly quiet on the music front over the last few years, aside from featured appearance on a handful of singles by other artists. But they may have something on the horizon for fans of their collaborations.
Last February, Big Sean joined Queen Naija on Instagram Live to talk about her single, “Hate Our Love,” but also shed some light on the forthcoming collaborative project with Jhené. When Naija asked what he was working on, Sean Don dropped the news with no hesitation.
“I’m here working on [a] new album and new TWENTY88, me and Jhené,” the Detroit rapper said with a grin. “Shit, we’ve been working on it for a little bit… It’s coming along good, though.”
Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s first TWENTY88 project debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, selling 40,000 copies in its first week. The eight-track effort boasted guest appearances from legendary R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo, as well as producer/singer Detail.

Rumors surrounding a TWENTY88 sequel started to swirl in January 2022 when Big Sean took to Instagram with a brief clip of him in the studio with Jhené. There was no clear indication of what they were working on, but many fans hoped it was a new TWENTY88 project.
