Kimora Lee Simmons and ex Russell Simmons had two very different ‘reactions’ after their daughter Aoki Lee Simmons was recently spotted kissing her much older boyfriend.
The day after their daughter Aoki, 21, was spotted with Vittorio Assaf, 65, and unconcerned about their 44-year age difference, her parents seemingly responded on Instagram.
Kimora, 48, reposted a now-deleted video of a mother panda furiously pulling her baby cub away with her teeth, writing: “On my last nerve now!”
As for her ex-husband, 66 — to whom she was married from 1998 to 2009 — the 66-year-old record executive posted a throwback photo with his daughter from June 2022 and shared a heartfelt message about his “unconditional love” for her.
He recalled that they had an “all-round great day” last Father’s Day – the day before a video of him berating his daughter during a disturbing FaceTime call and making her cry – went viral – and enjoyed a busy day of yoga classes, vegan lunch and cryotherapy.

On Friday, Aoki was spotted enjoying a romantic getaway in St. Barths with her much older boyfriend in steamy, PDA-filled snaps.
It’s unclear how long she and the restauranteur have been romantically involved, but a source close to the model has revealed this People that the couple had met while on holiday in St. Barths.
“Aoki and Vittorio are spending time together and enjoying each other’s company,” the insider told the outlet.
While the couple enjoyed their couple’s getaway at what is reportedly a favorite destination for the Simmons family, the co-founder of restaurant chain Serafina snapped photos of Aoki and documented their day at the beach.
The couple both took to Instagram to share photos from their vacation, but didn’t post any photos of each other.
Aoki is Kimora’s youngest daughter whom she shares with her first husband. She also shares daughter Ming, 24, with Russell.
The fashion designer shares sons Kenzo, 14, and Wolfe, almost nine, with exes Djimon Hounsou and Tim Leissner, respectively. She and Leissner adopted her son Gary, 14, in 2020.
