July 10, 2026


LL Cool J's wife, Simone Smith, showed off an image of her oldest daughter, Italia, and grandchild, King James. Both mother and son looked adorable, posing in a garden of flowers.
Every Mother's Day is a time for people across the globe to celebrate mothers who have made different sacrifices along the way. Women who have given a part of themselves in support of their family.

Simone Smith, who shares four kids, Najee, Italia, Samaria, and Nina with rapper LL Cool J recently celebrated her second child, who is a mother of one amid the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.
In her post, she referred to Italia as her "first baby girl," and thanked her daughter for being a great mother to her grandson, King James. She said:
"Happy Mother's Day to my 2nd born and first baby girl @italiaanitasmith I love and appreciate the way you MOTHER my grandson King-James aka Kingy."
Italia shares a son with her husband, who she married in 2017. Their wedding was a star studded event with many celebrities in attendance.
For Smith and LL, that seemed to be one of the most memorable days of their lives. This especially for the rap star who walked his daughter down the aisle on Father's day, which was the same day as the wedding.
Simone owns a jewelry line, and some portion of the proceeds are given to the American Cancer Society.
It was a double celebration for Simone, who posted numerous photos ceaselessly. First, she began with a post featuring father and daughter while she wished her husband a "Happy Father's Day."
The Smith clan engaged in a bigger celebration a year later when Italia's parents hosted a Moroccan themed baby shower with the rest of the family. She took to the gram to share her appreciation and wrote:
"BOY BLESSED GOD is AWESOME Thank you @sislovespurple @llcoolj For throwing us an Amazing Reveal Love you@shanelljmanagement...HAPPY THANKSGIVING"
Being excellent parents while sharing a formidable bond with their kids seems to be a priority for the celebrity couple. However, they have taken time to create an enviable relationship over the years.
The rap star has been highly supportive as a father and husband. During an interview, the mother of four revealed how her man stood by her when she battled with cancer in 2004.
Years after a successful surgery, the couple began a campaign to aid people living with cancer. Simone owns a jewelry line, and some portion of the proceeds are given to the American Cancer Society.
The pair have been together for more than two decades, and as the day goes by, they appear to grow more in love.
