Joseph Simmons Age

How old is Joseph? Simmons is 60 years old as of 2025. The reality show, which ran for two seasons, revolved around Vanessa and her sister Angela Simmons as they started their new business.

"It was loosely based on me, so getting into character wasn't as much of a challenge as roles I've taken on more recently." He shared that he's only continued to push himself as an actor, seek out training, and put all of his energy into any audition that might come his way. "I just want to keep [Ava's] life as normal as possible for as long as possible."

Angela Simmons continued working with her sister Vanessa Simmons after the conclusion of "Run's House," teaming up with her sibling for "Daddy's Girls," but it wouldn't be her final foray into reality TV.

In 2021, she headlined her own series, "Just Angela," for AspireTV. "I'm very excited about doing that." It is unclear whether or not he did indeed get his license; as far as we can tell, he has not gotten into real estate.

Whether it's entrepreneurship or acting, I make sure that I'm showing up the best way that I can. He rose to fame as a member of Run-D.M.C., a group that revolutionized the music scene in the 1980s and 1990s.

"I happen to be on the show and my wife is on here. Outside of the reality TV world, Angela has been building a reputation as a businesswoman, a path she first traveled in 2007 when she and Vanessa started their own shoe line, Pastry, within the family shoe line, Run Athletics. As Simmons said on a 2024 episode of "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer," "How do you tell a kid that's 3 that what [happened]?

Valerie Vaughn was his first wife, with whom he had three children. "Nothing replaces a parent."

More recently, Simmons was in a high-profile relationship with rapper Yo Gotti.
