Vanessa Simmons is an actress, television host, and businesswoman best known for hosting the WE tv programme “Growing Up Hip Hop” and the MTV reality series “Run’s House.” She is the child of Joseph Simmons, alias Rev. Run, who was a key figure in the formation of the renowned hip-hop group Run-DMC. In addition to hosting and judging “Project Runway: Threads,” the seasoned television personality also co-owns Pastry with her sister Angela Simmons, a premium footwear company. She also owns the clothes company Glitter and Lace as well as the skincare line Sugar Me.
Michael Wayans, an actor best known for his roles in the films Blankman and Dance Flick as well as the television series My Wife and Kids, and Simmons have been together for a long time. The theme music for the TV miniseries “The Underground” was composed by him, who is both a talented musician and the son of comic great Damon Wayans Sr. Fans are interested in how Simmons and Wayans are doing right now because neither Simmons nor Wayans are frequently mentioned in connection with their relationship. Here is what we currently know!
Vanessa Simmons and Michael Wayans’ Journey Together
Although nothing is known about how Vanessa and Michael first met, they seem to have been supportive of one another when they started dating in 2005. Ava Marie Jean Wayans was born to the couple on February 13, 2014, and she is being raised by both of them. In January 2015, Vanessa shared this adorable image of Michael holding their young daughter on Instagram.
Although Michael is an actor and comes from a family of well-known actors and TV hosts, he chose not to join Vanessa on “Growing Up Hip Hop.” Vanessa also mentioned in an interview from October 2017 that she prefers to maintain a low profile because it might be difficult to expose one’s life to the world because it invites criticism. She therefore wished to shield Ava from it for as long as she could. Vanessa and Michael decided to avoid the spotlight after coming to the conclusion that putting relationships under the spotlight can end badly. Is the couple still together, or is trouble brewing in paradise?
Are Vanessa Simmons and Michael Wayans Still Together?
Yes, Vanessa and Michael are still very much a couple and have been in a devoted and serious relationship for close to 17 years. It is a little difficult to share many details about their recent activities because they are very private about their personal lives. Michael has kept his social media accounts private, and Vanessa doesn’t share any photos of them together either. On Father’s Day, she does post adorable pictures of him and Ava, like this one.
In an interview with Entertainment Online in August 2017, Vanessa disclosed that she and Michael had discussed getting engaged as part of their wedding plans. “Dealing with a 3-year-old is incredibly tough, but I think eventually yes [we will have more kids] after Mike and I tie the knot,” she continued in reference to the possibility of having more children. She also underlined the value of good coordination between partners, clear communication, and being on the same page.
As an executive producer and recurring cast member on the television programme “Monogamy,” Vanessa is currently succeeding in her professional life. Ava, who is now seven, entered the business world when she and her mother started the Glitter and Lace apparel line. Even more impressively, the gifted young woman is Pastry’s youngest Junior Designer. Vanessa is helped to balance work and home life by Michael, a supportive partner and father.
Vanessa and Michael are still going strong and successfully co-parenting their daughter, despite the fact that they have not yet announced their plans to wed. They have made the conscious decision to maintain their privacy, and we really hope that their future is also filled with happiness.
