‘Bless These Babies’: Angela Simmons Shares Sweet Snap of Son SJ and Family

Angela Simmons‘ son Sutton Joseph Tennyson seems to be enjoying his shelter-in-place time by spending quality time with his family.

The “Growing Up Hip-Hop” star shared some adorable snaps of her 3-year-old son relaxing in bed with his godbrothers, Langston and Charles Johnson V, and baby cousin Erynn. “Love these pictures 😍 Sj , his God brothers, and Cuzzo ♥️💫,” Simmons captioned the cute shot.

The cuties looked cozy and happy in their pajamas and in a second snap, SJ posed with the baby, making sure she stayed upright with a protective hand on her stomach.

Fans gushing over the family photo dropped plenty of comments.

“This is definitely going to be one of those throwback pics,” one fan predicted.

“They’re all so adorable,” another complimented.

“These pictures are beautiful!,” exclaimed a third.

“God bless em all. Now we just need yours and @shadmoss lol jk. #respect #family #beautifulbabies,” joked a fourth.

“They are all so cute , take this same pic same pose 10 15 years from now,” a fifth follower requested.

“SJ over there looking like a big brother lol 👀,” a sixth wrote.

Angela’s followers also couldn’t get over how much SJ has grown and complimented the founder of Simmons Beauty, a skin-care line, on the great job she’s doing raising him.

“SJ is looking like a real big boy,” a fan noted. “He has really grown and he is your twin Angela😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

“He’s a protector already…love it💙💙💙,” wrote a follower.

“@angelasimmons I love how Sj is holding her tryna make sure she is secure,” another commented. “He has been here before he is such a lil gentleman and so intelligent. Your doing a great job Queen!”

Langston and Charles Johnson V are the grandsons of Judge Glenda Hatchett and sons of Charles S. Johnson IV, whose wife Kira Johnson passed away during what should have been a routine C- Section.

Simmons and then-fiancé Sutton Tennyson welcomed SJ in September 2016. The pair ended their engagement in December 2017, almost a year before Tennyson was tragically killed in front of his Atlanta home in 2018 after an argument with another man turned violent.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
