Aoki Lee Simmons has a new man in her life! The 21-year-old model and daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons is dating 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf, founder of the Serafina Restaurant Group.
PEOPLE confirmed that a source close to Aoki revealed that the two “are spending time together and enjoying each other’s company,”
Photos published by Page Six captured Aoki and Vittorio kissing and frolicking on the beach in St. Barts earlier this week. The images show the model posing for Assaf in a green bikini as he snapped photos of her.
While the 44-year age gap may raise some eyebrows, Aoki seems unfazed as she enjoys this new romance. The Harvard graduate is slowly making her mark in the fashion world, following in the footsteps of her supermodel mom.
Aoki Lee Simmons has modeled for major brands like Tommy Hilfiger, BCBG, Kate Spade, and her family’s Baby Phat line since childhood. She recently starred in BCBG’s campaign for their new capsule collection.
“Embodying BCBG New York’s essence of modern femininity…Aoki showcases the captivating duality of her lifestyle of fashion and post-graduate life,” the brand stated about casting her.
