Earlier this week, 21-year-old Aoki Lee Simmons was spotted on a romantic baecation with her rumored new boo, Vittorio Assaf. In photos making their rounds online, she’s seen kissing the 65-year-old restaurateur on a beach in St. Barts, sparking mixed reactions from fans. While some are defending her right to date whoever she chooses, others find the age gap disturbing and are sounding off on social media.
Shortly after the photos went viral, Aoki chatted with fans on Instagram Live, seemingly denying being with her man on the trip. “I went to St. Barts with my friends,” she told curious followers, seemingly avoiding any talk about his age. Regardless, the photos continue to circulate, only furthering the conversation.
