“Waking up to šŸ˜,” Simmons wrote, while playing singer Jhene Aiko‘s song “Love” in the background.

The massive pink and purple arrangements seemingly covered the reality star’s dining table.

Simmons’ followers were smitten with the boxer’s sweet gesture and raved over the fashionista’s newfound love.

“It is great to wake up to happiness. I like seeing other people show their loveā¤ļøā¤ļø and spread the joy,” a fan wrote.

Another added, “Energy šŸ˜”

“So happy for her ā¤ļø she deserves it, she’s so unproblematic,” an IG follower declared.

Someone else noted, “I’m for it. ā¤ļø She deserves all of the happiness. Bow Wow could neverrrrrr.”

Before Simmons and Jacobs publicly became an item, it was rumored the 32-year-old celeb was dating rapper Bow Wow.

Simmons and Bow dated during their teenage years and seemingly rekindled their flame on the latest season of “GUHH.” Just when fans thought the pair would make things official, Simmons surprisingly confirmed her relationship with Jacobs in August.

Bow Wow said he wasn’t upset about the mother of one’s new relationship, but instead he was happy for her.

As for Simmons and Jacobs, the couple seems extremely happy. Gossip sites report the new pair has been dating for quite a while.

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.
