Who is Aoki Lee Simmons, and is she really dating a man 3 times her age? Kimora Lee Simmons’ 21-year-old model daughter has been snapped kissing 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf in St Barts
Aoki Lee Simmons, the 21-year-old daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons, went viral on social media last week after photos emerged of her getting cosy with 65-year-old Serafina restaurateur Vittorio Assaf. The bikini-clad model and her much older beau were seen kissing on the beach while on holiday in St. Barts.
Considering their 44-year age gap and that fact that Aoki’s dad – the record executive Russell Simmons – is just one year older than Assaf, it’s perhaps surprising that netizens have been taken aback by the unlikely pairing. However it seems genuine, with a source confirming to People that the two are “spending time together and enjoying each other’s company”.
