Sutton Tennyson and his ex-fiancée Angela Simmons share a son, Sutton Joseph, whom Angela called her "greatest gift" on Instagram after Tennyson's murder. Simmons — who's the daughter of Joseph Simmons, a.k.a. Reverend Run of legendary rap group Run DMC — broke up with Tennyson in 2017.
Simmons told her mom, Valerie Vaughn, on an episode of Growing Up Hip Hop in 2018 (via BET) of the breakup, "I just got to a place where I feel like I wasn't happy and I tried and I tried and I tried and I wanted it to work because the last thing I wanted to do was not be together with the person I had my child with. I thought I met my husband. I'm going to marry him, we have kids. And it just didn't happen like that. God had another plan for me."
Despite breaking up, the two appeared to remain amicable for the sake of their son. When Simmons shared the news on Instagram the day after Tennyson's death in late 2018, she wrote, "I'm hurting . I'm numb. Thank you for the out pouring of love everyone . I cant believe I'm even saying Rest In Peace Sutton . I promise to hold SJ down in every way I promise." A month later, Simmons shared another tribute, writing, "I know that I will do my best carrying Sj with your strength and mine... Sj will forever carry your name."
