Aoki Lee Simmons, the 21-year-old daughter of Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons, has recently been rumored to be dating a much older dude. According to reports as well as recent photos (below), Aoki was spotted kissing Vittorio Assaf, a 65-year-old restaurateur, during a recent getaway to St. Barts.

To put their 44-year-age difference further into perspective…Aoki’s moms, Kimora, is 48; and her pops, Russell, is 66…just one year older than her alleged new man.
Photos published by Page Six show Aoki and Vittorio sharing a steamy kiss on the beach. Aoki, dressed in a bikini, seemed to be having a good ol’ time time with the shirtless 65-year-old businessman. The pictures also captured their playful moments in the ocean, showcasing the apparent familiarity between the young model and the seasoned restaurateur.
Sources have revealed, to People, that Aoki and Vittorio are reportedly officially dating after meeting on the Caribbean island.

It’s unclear if Kimora and Russell agree with their youngest daughter’s reported choice in the dating department at the moment. But Aoki seems pretty much unbothered by the news of her alleged older boo-thang surfacing. Soon after the kissing photos of her and Vittorio surfaced, Aoki posted a photo of herself to her Instagram Story, with a caption that read, “Errr well now I know why folks were calling me.”

This isn’t the first time Aoki has made headlines. In 2023 she was in the spotlight for her public dispute with her pops. However, in a more recent interview, Aoki shared that she is doing great and was excited for the holidays with her family.
As for her future plans, Aoki had previously expressed her intention to attend law school in 2023. It seems like she’s making her own path and following her own dreams, regardless of the attention surrounding her personal life.
