‘You Spit Him Out’: Angela Simmons and Her 2-year-old Son Twin in Latest Series of Charming Photos Together

Angela Simmons and her toddler Sutton Joseph Tennyson apparently share the same face, according to fans.

There’s been a little chatter online about who 2-year-old SJ looks like more between his mother and his late father Sutton Tennyson, but according to social media the child strongly resembles his mother.

Simmons, 31, took to Instagram Monday evening and posted a photo collage of her and her son taking a slew of selfies, apparently on the celeb’s cellphone. Not taking life too seriously, the duo struck a few goofy faces for the ‘Gram, including the mother of one cheesing widely and her son lifting up his little eyebrow.

“Sj … take these photos with me …. lol him,” she wrote in her caption. “Making fun of my faces I’m making 🤣.”

The “Growing Up Hip Hop” star’s post accumulated over 95,000 likes. Fans were also amazed by how much the pair looked alike.

“Omg you spit him out 😲 y’all look like twins for sure 😍💙.”

“He looks just like her amazing ❤️ he is such a cute little love!!”

“He is soooo freaking adorable 💜💜 there’s no denying the kid he looks exactly like you.”

“He’s so cute. An looks just like you! What sweet boy 💙.”

Baby SJ is Simmons’ only child. She and ex-fiancé Tennyson, who was killed at age 37 in November 2018, welcomed their son in September 2016. The former couple got engaged seven months before the reality actress gave birth.

However, the pair called off the wedding off in December 2017 and also called their relationship quits. Simmons claimed they tried to make their relationship work but she eventually grew unhappy.

“I just got to a place where I felt like I wasn’t happy, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried and I wanted it to work because the last thing I wanted to do was not be together with the person I had my child with,” she said during the season 4 premiere of “GUHH.”

Although Simmons and Tennyson clearly had their differences and were dealing with custody drama before he died, Simmons recently honored him for Father’s Day this year.

“Words will never be good enough …,” she said, sharing a video of Tennyson and SJ. ” Happy Father’s Day !! You are missed 🙏🏽.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
