‘I’m Seeing Double’: Angela Simmons’ Resemblance to Her Son Has Fans Blown Away in Recent Matching PJs Pic

It’s safe to say that “Growing Up Hip Hop” star Angela Simmons and her toddler Sutton Joseph Tennyson are the definition of “twinning.”

The holidays are right around the corner, and the 32-year-old mother is already posting adorable pics of herself and her 3-year-old son. She took to Instagram on Monday evening and shared a photo of herself and baby Sutton dressed in matching red and black plaid pajamas.

Simmons was photographed hugging her son tightly as they both smiled big for the camera. Cherishing her joyous moment with her son, she wrote in her post’s caption, “He requested we wearing matching PJs tonight 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol.”

The image racked up more than 62,000 likes and a slew of comments noting how much baby Sutton resembled his mother.

“😍 he is adorable!! He is your twin fr fr i feel like i’m seeing double”

“❤️👍🏽🙌🏼 how adorable and cute and awesome like mother like son ❤️y’all twins”

“Angela spit that baby out! 😍😍 He looks just like her and is full of Love . May God bless u both”

“Angela your baby is just gorgeous ❤️ what a photo! Priceless! You two are twinning forreal”

SJ is Simmons’ only child. She and ex-fiancé Sutton 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 television personality gave birth. They called off their wedding in December 2017 after Simmons claimed she 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.”

Sunday, Nov. 3, marked the one-year anniversary of Tennyson’s death. He was killed in southwest Atlanta inside his garage after an argument with another man, according to reports.

In a heartfelt message to her late ex-fiancé, Simmons noted that their son was doing well and added, “He’s everything you knew he’d be and even more. I look at him everyday….and I see you so much. You’d be so proud of him. The way I’m proud of him. He talks to me about you before bed.”

Still independent.

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.
