‘You and Yung Stunner’: Angela Simmons Fans Swoon Over This Adorable Snap with Her 3-Year-Old Son

Angela Simmons and her son Sutton Joseph kicked off her birthday week in style.

The mother-and-son duo posed for a cute photo together on Wednesday, Sept. 16, while traveling on a private jet. It’s uncertain where the pair were traveling to, but based on Simmons’s past birthday getaways, it’s likely it was somewhere tropical.

In the photo, the 32-year-old mother sat across from her toddler and posed in all-black attire. Baby SJ wore an adorable camouflage tracksuit and posed with a bag of chips in his hand, while staring into the camera with his big starry eyes.

“US 🥰,” Simmons captioned the Instagram snap.

The image received over 79,000 likes and plenty of sweet fan comments.

“I love the fact that her son is literally like her best friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” one IG user gushed.

A supporter mentioned Simmons and her son’s resemblance in the comments section, writing, “One glance at him, and I saw nothing but your face. 👀❤️.”

“Love u girl……. ur so special and a great mum keep ur head up angie,” someone else wrote.

“You and yung stunner 😍😫,” another fan commented.

Simmons welcomed her son SJ in September 2016 with her ex-fiancé, Sutton Tennyson, who was shot to death in November 2018. The former couple were broken up before Tennyson’s tragic death.

In February 2018, the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star dedicated a sweet post and message to her son, expressing how much she loved him.

“All I want to be is the best mother I can possibly be to him,” Simmons wrote. “A trip down memory lane . He’s growing so quickly. This little boy has given me the strength I needed at so many times. Thank you God for such a perfect blessing .. I found myself when I had you ! ❤️ #BecauseYouLoved me.”

In an interview with the Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper in June 2018, Simmons described motherhood as a big “adjustment” that she wouldn’t change for the world.

“I definitely think children bring out the best in you. … Motherhood is an experience and matures you in a different way,” she said. “The kid just changes you for the better. I wouldn’t change it.”

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.
