The news of this couple's breakup has rocked the music world.

When the split was first reported, it was alleged that the reason was because the ‘Sativa’ singer was upset with Big Sean for not moving towards marriage, however this appears to just be fan speculation.

The pair had supposedly been going through some issues over the marriage, with Jhene offering up several ultimatums in the past, according to reports.

Fans are devastated by the news.

One fan commented: “Damn Man ! Every relationship that appears to be perfect in public isn’t always like that behind closed doors.”

Another said: “I’m sorry bro…..you dropped that pass Sean.”
