Simmons also posted on her Instagram Story, writing, “The young sir is 14! Almost 6'5” y’all," and tagged her son andSean “Diddy” Combs' twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs.
The mom of five shares daughtersAoki Lee, 20, andMing Lee, 23, with exRussell Simmons, sonKenzowith exDjimon Hounsou, sonWolfe, 8, with estranged husbandTim Leissner, and is also mom to son Gary, 13.
She continued, “I’m so thankful for the village of people that spurred me along and helped keep me focused. My mom, my sister, my little brothers back at home. It took a whole tribe, trust me!”
But Aoki Lee’s graduation wasn’t the first this month for the Simmons family. Simmons' daughter Ming Lee graduated from NYU the week before Aoki Lee’s graduation.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Simmons added, “This has been a banner season for our family. Both my daughters graduating the same year — wow! I can’t begin to express how proud I am of them. They’re both such brainy beauties! And they’re all mine!”
She continued, “I want Aoki Lee to keep the same energy and passion she’s shown her entire life. It’s nice to have a Harvard grad in the family, but it might be nice to have an attorney, too. I’ve promised myself I’ll wait at least a week before I start gently nudging her in that direction, though.”
Recently, Simmons opened up exclusively to PEOPLE aboutthe highs and lows of being a single parent. “I’m a single mom of five kids and I know how hard it can be and I don’t want to start crying, but it’s Mother’s Day, I know how that feels like to raise your kids and to get up every day and only care about them.”
“And it doesn’t matter, if you’re rich and famous or you’re this thing or this singer, that singer, at the end of the day, you’re a mom or you’re a cousin, you’re an auntie, you’re a family member, you’re a community person, a caregiver, you’re just there trying to make everything come together.”
