Russell Simmons will forever harbor affection for his offspring. His feelings about his daughter Aoki Lee Simmons’ blossoming love affair with Vittorio Assaf, a man 44 years her senior, were recently made public.
Russell, who co-parents Aoki with his ex, Kimora Lee Simmons, had a chat with TMZ on April 1. He stated, “I’m not one to throw a fit about her decisions.” His approach? Simple. He offers guidance and love, no strings attached.
Aoki, who’s just 21, seems to be living a dream with her 65-year-old beau, Vittorio. The pair were spotted getting comfy on a beach in St. Barts, a Caribbean island, on April 2. Quite the picture, huh?
The young model was seen rocking a tribal-print bikini. Vittorio, the brains behind Serafina Restaurant Group, sported blue and white swim trunks. Couldn’t resist capturing some shots of Aoki, all sun-kissed and radiant, as she struck a pose near him.
Aoki didn’t comment on their beach escapade. But she did post a selfie on her Instagram Stories on April 5. Her caption? “Err, well now I know why folks were calling me.” A bit cryptic, but hey, that’s Aoki for ya!
