Kimora Lee Simmons Gets Brutally Honest About ‘Predatorial’ Age Gap With Man Her Daughter Dated
HuffPost
Model Aoki Lee Simmons had a brief, headline-making romance with 65-year-old Vittorio Assaf in 2024.
Kimora Lee Simmons is speaking candidly about her daughter Aoki Lee Simmons’ former romance with a man 44 years her senior.
Appearing on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast this week, the Baby Phat founder and reality TV personality was asked how she first reacted upon learning Aoki Lee Simmons, then 21, had begun dating 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf nearly two years ago.
At first, Kimora Lee Simmons seemed taken aback when host Amanda Hirsch described the relationship as “a big deal for pop culture,” but noted, “I let my kids make their own mistakes.”
“First of all, I know this guy. But I didn’t know this guy in that capacity like with my kid or that you were even dating my kid,” she explained in a clip from the podcast, per People. “I know this guy growing up myself. He’s a restaurateur. I don’t want to get into troubles legally, but I think his reputation probably precedes him. Is that OK to say legally? So I was learning some of these things as I went along, too.”
Assaf, who is the co-founder of New York’s Serafina Restaurant Group, and Aoki Lee Simmons were first romantically linked in April 2024 when the two were spotted together in St. Barths.
