Vanessa Simmons and her boyfriend, Mike Wayans, had their first child this Valentine’s Day, an adorable baby girl named Ava Marie Jean.
Vanessa Simmons, 30, and her boyfriend Mike Wayans had their first child together, Ava Marie Jean, on Feb. 14., according to People. Vanessa is one of the stars of Run’s House on MTV, which documents the Simmons family and Rev Run’s rapping career. Vanessa has a huge family (dad Rev Run and his wife, Justine, have 7 children) but this will be the family’s first grandchild. Even though Vanessa and Mike aren’t married, her dad is still thrilled to be a grandpa.
“My dad was actually really excited because this is the first grandchild for my family. I think somewhere deep inside he was kinda like, ‘When am I going to experience that part of life?’” she told Essence. “Of course he wants us to get married, but for now he was like, ‘We’re gonna figure this out. Just be happy and have a healthy pregnancy. I’m behind you a hundred percent,” She added.
Vanessa was concerned at first that her and her boyfriend were having a baby before they got married. “There’s this whole idea of first comes the marriage then the baby carriage so I was so nervous,” she told Essence. But now that the baby is born, she can start to think about wedding plans.
“Of course we talk about that and it’s looking good,” she said of planning a wedding. “But I don’t want to be a pregnant bride. I wanna have a beautiful wedding, hopefully a destination wedding where I can show off my figure in a beautiful long flowing dress.”
