Jhene Aiko posts kiss photo with Big Sean: "#mcm"

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Jhené Aiko got close to Big Sean in a new photo Monday after months of dating rumors.

The 28-year-old singer appeared to confirm her relationship with the "Paradise" rapper by sharing a picture of Big Sean kissing her on the cheek on Instagram.

"#mcm," she captioned the snapshot for #ManCrushMonday.

Aiko and Big Sean were first linked in February and released an album as the duo Twenty88 in April. The pair told Billboard the same month that their "platonic love" inspired the musical collaboration.

"A lot of people don't get along when it comes to collabs," Big Sean said. "Jhené is more than just a friend. I don't know how else to describe it -- me and her are just cool like that. I love her and I know she loves me."

"I want people to talk about [the album] and feel that we're talking about certain people or each other -- whatever they think is fine. As long as they like the music," he added.

Aiko had revealed in March that she had secretly married music producer Oladipo "Dot da Genius" Omishore, but filed for divorce in August. Big Sean, meanwhile, was previously engaged to actress Naya Rivera and dated singer Ariana Grande.

Aiko and Big Sean's self-titled album as Twenty88 debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The record includes the single "Selfish."
