Big Sean is diving headfirst into fatherhood, and he isn’t shy about sharing just how much he adores his son, Noah. The rapper, known for hits like Beautiful Scars, recently appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to discuss his experience as a first-time parent alongside his longtime partner, singer Jhené Aiko.
First-Time Dad Joys and Challenges
Sean, 36, admitted that stepping into the role of a father was an eye-opening experience. “It’s my first time being a parent, a dad. I didn’t know what I was in for,” he shared. But now that he’s fully immersed in dad life, there’s no going back. “He’s amazing. I’m in love with my son. I can’t even lie. Everything about him is just incredible.”
A Blend of Family Traits
The rapper noted that Noah, now 2, has inherited a mix of the best traits from both sides of his family, including his grandfather, James Anderson, and his mother, Aiko. “He has the charm of my dad and the spirit of his mom,” Sean explained. “He’s just the best of all of us put together. When you have a child, you realize they are a culmination of all of your family members. It’s like all that DNA is stored like a computer—it’s amazing to see it come to life.”
A Star in the Making?
With two talented musicians as parents, it’s no surprise that Noah is already showing signs of following in their footsteps. “He picks up that mic and he has a beautiful voice like his mom,” Sean said. “He has range and everything. He’s definitely very vocal. He talks. He’s very expressive and very smart.”
A Love Story with Ups and Downs
Sean and Aiko’s relationship has been a journey of its own. They first met in 2012 and made things official in 2016. After a brief split in 2019, they rekindled their romance in 2020 and later announced their pregnancy in 2022.
In addition to Noah, Aiko is also a mother to 16-year-old daughter Namiko from a previous relationship.
Is Marriage on the Horizon?
The question of marriage often looms over the couple, and Sean has been open about their relationship dynamic. Last August, he shared his perspective with Charlamagne Tha God on Out of Context, saying, “To me, marriage symbolizes the best relationship. I would like to, but there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”
For now, the couple seems focused on their growing family—especially their little superstar in the making.
