The honeymoon continues for Angela and Gotti.

He went from rapping about Angela Simmons to having her as his leading lady. In 2016, "Down in the DM" had Hip Hop in a chokehold, and in it, Yo Gotti spit bars about having a crush on Simmons. She laughed it off back then, but the entrepreneur has linked with the rapper these days, and it seems as if everything is blissful. The couple went Instagram official in January, immediately after the new year, showing off several photos of their celebrations. "Happier than I've ever been," she wrote in her Story. Elsewhere Simmons added, “You are all I need and more."

The honeymoon phase is continuing because Simmons is offering yet another update. She took to her Instagram Story once again, this time sharing a video of herself putting in work at the gym. She added Gotti's "F-U" track featuring Meek Mill as an added bit of support. In the following slide, Simmons added, "Pretty sure I have the best man in the world." She included a string of heart emojis for good measure.

Previously, Simmons was engaged to Sutton Tennyson before they went their separate ways. Still, the two continued to co-parent, and then in 2018, tragedy struck. Tennyson was gunned down in front of his garage at his home, leaving Simmons to raise their son on her own. She has detailed her struggles with the loss of Tennyson in interviews and on Growing Up Hip Hop. The WeTV series documented the lives of celebrity children, and for a moment, the public believed she was revisiting a childhood romance with Romeo Miller.

This, of course, caught people by surprise because of Simmons' past with Shad "Bow Wow" Moss. They, too, have known each other since their young teen years and dated on and off. Due to their online flirting, and interactions on reality television, their fans believed they would one day rekindle their romance. However, both have insisted they are just friends.

Meanwhile, Gotti and Simmons have kept their relationship under wraps. There were rumors about them dating long before they decided to spill the beans; still, they aren't allowing outside influences to ruin their connection.
