SIMONE BATTLES CANCER

Every year, Simone's birthday is a reminder of her strength and the journey she has been through as a cancer survivor. In 2004, she was diagnosed with stage 3 chondrosarcoma and underwent a grueling 15-hour surgery to replace her tibia bone.

Following surgery, Simone had to learn to walk again, and her rehabilitation took two and a half years. Fortunately, she beat cancer "like a boss" and has been in remission ever since.

BEAT CANCER LIKE A BOSS

Simone owes much of her recovery to the support she received from her husband, LL Cool J, who made some professional sacrifices so he could be by her side throughout the process.

After the life-changing ordeal, Simone and the "NCIS: LA" actor used their experience to contribute to cancer research and raise awareness through the Beat Cancer Like a Boss campaign and Simone's eponymous jewelry line.

THE SMITH FAMILY

Besides inspiring Simone and LL Cool J to give back, the ordeal also brought the couple closer together. After 25 years, their marriage is strengthened by their support and respect for one another and their matching spiritual background.

As for their children, including their only son, Najee Smith, Simone, and LL Cool J are doting parents, but they didn't spoil their kids and raised them to fend for themselves by pursuing their different passions.
