Basically, he is my type, but he knows,” she said — adding that the two built a friendship for years before they started dating. “We were friends, it was never, nothing disrespectful ever happened between me and Sean,” she explained. “…We were forced to really, really get to know each other on a friendship level… And obviously we worked together as well throughout our relationship. We did songs together. And then it just came to a point where it was like, ‘I’m single, you’re single, we love each other.’ We actually already loved each other as people and then it was like, ‘Okay, let’s just, you know, be together.’ So it was different because of that friendship. That comes first, we’re friends before anything. We can bicker like a friendship.” RELATED VIDEO: Drake Has a New Tattoo of Denzel Washington’s Face — See the Ink! Aiko added: “Sean has become my family. I don’t know what the future holds, but as far as my life goes right now, yeah, he’s ‘L-O-M-L.’ ” She also reflected on finding love after divorce. “I’m a true hopeless romantic and I feel like you have to not be afraid of love. If there is a ‘one’ for us, just one person, one soulmate, whatever, then you’re not going to get it your first try or your second try or even your third try,” she said. “So I won’t let one bad relationship ruin my chance at finding my true partner. I’m not a person that holds grudges, either. I just live in the moment. It’s easy for me to just be trusting of a new person.”
