Kimora Lee Simmons and ex Russell Simmons had two very different ‘reactions’ after their daughter Aoki Lee Simmons was spotted kissing her much older boyfriend recently.
The day after their daughter Aoki, 21, was seen with Vittorio Assaf, 65, and paying no mind to their 44-year age difference, her parents seemingly responded on Instagram.
Kimora, 48, reposted a since-deleted video of a mother panda furiously pulling away her baby cub with her teeth and wrote: ‘On my last nerve right now!’
As for her ex-husband, 66 — with whom she was married from 1998 to 2009 — the 66-year-old record exec 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-around amazing day’ last Father’s Day — the day before a video went viral showing him berating his daughter during a disturbing FaceTime call and making her cry — and enjoyed a jam-packed day with yoga class, vegan lunch and cryotherapy.

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