(Photos) Congrats! Jhené Aiko And Big Sean Are Expecting Their First Child Together

Jhen Aiko is baking, and we’re not talking desserts or new music! Photos obtained by TMZshow the singer and rapper Big Sean, on a recent Beverly Hills stroll. Their special tag-along? Jhen’s baby bump! So, congratulations are in order for the couple on their first child together!

The photos confirm the news a Twitter user brought to the innanet on June 14.

“I jus saw Jhen Aiko and Big Sean at Whole Foods and she’s very pregnant,” user @KenKiablo wrote. “IKTR Sean.”

At the time, Big Sean nor Jhen gave the tweet any online energy. However, it did receive some attention on smaller blogs. Well, it’s now confirmed that @KenKiablo wasn’t just telling stories!

Big Sean Spins The Parenthood Block For The First Time

Jhen’s pregnancy means Big Sean will be a first-time father. However, the Sailing Soul(s) singer is already a mother of one to 13-year-old daughter Namiko Love Browner. Jhen and O’Ryan Browner, younger brother to Omarion, welcomed Namiko in 2008.

The expecting parents have been in an on-and-off-again relationship for several years. Though they are pretty open in their collaborative music–let’s not forget Big Sean’s comment about making Jhen climax nine times in one day–the couple is largely private about their romance.

In 2016, Big Sean told Jhen that a marriage proposal is “in the works.” But, from the looks of it, the couple has shifted their focus to starting their own blended family!

Here’s How Twitter Is Feeling About The Pregnancy News

And Twitter users, who were previewed to the news weeks ago thanks to @KenKiablo, are cutting up at the photo confirmation! Take a look:
