Angela Simmons flooded her fans’ Instagram feed on March 1 with two glamour uploads, including a solo shot and another with her older sister Vanessa Simmons. The photo that generated the most attention and likes was the post that included Vanessa, because fans deemed it’s been awhile since the duo have been seen together.

Angela, who sported a shimmery burgundy dress with a full face, hooped earrings, and wavy hair, captioned the highly favored photo “the Bloodline ✨.” To which Vanessa, who wore a shimmery backless ensemble, commented two smiling faces with hearts emojis. She later went on to repost the image on her Instagram Story. Fans expressed their excitement at seeing the Simmons sisters unite.

“It’s good to see you with your sister Angela🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️.”

“Aaaawww I missed seeing you guys together.”

“2 goddess in one photo just beautiful a true masterpiece.”

“Yessss we love to see it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sister sister 🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

“Love to see more pictures of you two together.”

While fans marveled over the beautiful sisters and how excited they were to see the pair together again, others mentioned how much they loved Angela and Vanessa on reality television, especially “Run’s House,” which premiered in 2005 on MTV and followed the lives of hip-hop pioneer Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons and his family. One wrote about how much they missed the show, “Miss the show loved it 👑👑 ‘Run House.'”

Another mentioned how the Simmons girls were their favorite sisters. “My favorite sister’s on reality tv show’s 😍.”

An Instagram user brought up the good times they experienced while watching “Run’s House.” “I remember all y’all on run’s house, good memories.”

In 2007, while riding the success of “Run’s House,” the Simmons sisters launched Pastry, a popular shoe line with professional and university dance teams. The company ultimately added accessories to its collection. Following the end of “Run’s House” in 2009, both sisters went on to work and started their own families. Vanessa welcomed her daughter Ava Marie Jean Wayans in 2014 with ex Michael Wayans.  

Angela welcomed her son Sutton Joseph Tennyson in 2016 with ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson, who was later shot and killed in 2018. 

In recent years, both sisters returned to the small screen by joining the “Growing Up Hip Hop” franchise.

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.
