Other accessories that brought the look to a perfect score were her wristwatch, bold ring, and an infectious wide-lip smile. Many fans gave the nod to the vacation-themed look by liking the snap and adding one or two comments admiring the ensemble.

THE UNBREAKABLE MARRIAGE

Simone Smith is the "NCIS" star, LL Cool J's wife of twenty-five years. Although fans may see the glamorous couple and wonder if they ever had a tough time, the answer is yes!

Like every marriage, they have been through difficult times that could have affected their bond. But, instead, they drew close and strengthened their love.

In 2004, Simone had rare bone cancer, had to undergo a 15hours surgery, and the doctors gave her almost three years to make a full recovery.

Her husband was supportive during this period; he did not welcome any negativity to aid her recovery and even offered to give his bone.

For him, it was a time to be there, as he told media mogul Oprah Winfrey, that it was not the right time to abandon his wife in a fox hole.

They came out victorious from the situation and have since focused on educating and funding causes channeled towards cancer. The couple even has an initiative tagged "Beat Cancer Like A Boss."

THE GENESIS

The lovers have known each other longer than they have been married. They met during their teenage years in 1987, dated for eight years, had two kids before walking down the aisle.

During the beginning of their relationship, the rapper was a bit flirtatious, especially since his career afforded him the chance to be around women—his stage name means "Lady Loves Cool J."

It did not take long before he decided to take his family more seriously, and in 1995, shortly after their wedding, the actor chose to compromise and respect his leading lady.

Since then, they have put their hearts to make things go smoothly, and by making God an essential part of the union, they have achieved success.

MEET THE SMITHS

The celebrity couple has four kids, Najee, Italia, Samaria, and Nina, with whom they share a close relationship. Like their romance, the parents are committed to making their kids happy, by giving them 100% support in their choices.

The bunch made different choices in terms of career. Najee is a photographer, Italia, a licensed real estate agent, Samaria, a fashion designer, and Nina, an upcoming singer.

Even though the mini-smiths chose unique careers, Cool J and Simone Smith have taught them nothing but determination in achieving their goals.
