The TWENTY88 singers first started dating in 2016 with Aiko telling DJ Khaled in a Feb. 2021 interview, that their romance was built on a foundation of friendship.
"Our friendship is really strong, so that has made our relationship what it is, just that foundation of real friends who really know each other on that level," Aiko said at the time.

ET last spoke to Sean and Aiko at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards, about what they hope their music means for the world.
"It means a lot, you know. I think we all put a lot into our music and it always feels good to be recognized in any capacity," Aiko told ET's Kevin Frazier. "And that's what it's all about for me."
"I think for me, everything that I do, you know, the people that I've lost, I do it for them," the "Stay Ready" singer added. "I carry their dreams with me as well."
With Sean sharing that it's their responsibility to carry on the music of Black artists and people of color who have been lost to tragedy in recent years.
"Not only are we carrying their dreams, they paved the way for us," Sean shared. "It's a continuous fight, and it's really our responsibility to carry it on because it's not over, it's far from over."
"We got to represent who we are and the road ahead of us is a long one but we're here to take it," he added.
