The star was photographed admiring a handwritten love note while a large bouquet of red flowers sat in front of her. The next slide gave a clear view of the intricately arranged flowers.

Simone and LL Cool J are one of Hollywood's finest romantic pairs who have held it down for years and defied the odds against failed famous marriages. The duo who got married in 1995 first met as youngsters in 1987 and dated for eight years.

The pair have four grown children, Najee, Samaria, Italia, and Nina-Symone, who is the youngest. While the older children chose careers diverse from showbiz, Nina-Symone is looking into music just like her daddy.

Things may seem blissful for the award-winning entertainer and his wife now, but they did pass through some tumultuous times. In 2004, Simone was diagnosed with bone cancer.

Simone had stage three chondrosarcoma and underwent a 15-hour surgery and over two years of recuperation. LL Cool J had to cut down on his busy showbiz life, making time to be by his wife's side and seeing her through the recovery period.

These days the power couple have joined efforts with the American Cancer Society, and they are looking to help people fight cancer like a boss.
