Yesterday, we told you about the controversy surrounding 21-year-old Aoki Lee Simmons’ relationship with 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf after Page Six released a series of steamy beach pics of the pair vacationing on St. Barts. But if you know anything about celebrity relationships, you know they’re not always built to last. So it should come as no surprise that sources are now reporting that the two are over.

The internet started to worry after seeing photos of Simmons and Assaf, who have a 44-year age difference, getting up close and personal on the beach along with a series of strange social media video posts in which Simmons refers to the 65-year-old as her “boyfriend.”
Now friends of Simmons say the relationship was nothing more than a fling, and the two have gone their separate ways.
“It’s 100% done. They’re absolutely not dating,” a source close to Aoki told Page Six.
Who Is This Guy?
Born and raised in Italy, Vittorio Assaf came to New York City in 1985 looking to get into the fashion industry. But after being stranded on a boat for hours with his now-business partner, Fabio Granato, the two decided to open a restaurant when they got home. Serafina Fabulous Pizza on New York’s Upper East Side. They’ve since expanded Serafina Restaurant Group to include successful restaurants around the world.
But don’t worry about Assaf. Like we told you yesterday, Simmons was just one of a series of models the restauranteur has been linked to recently. Friends say the 65-year-old, who has always had a thing for younger women, won’t spend too much time being sad about his latest breakup.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out with another young girl tonight!” one source told Page Six.
If you’re scratching your head, we completely understand. You’re right to wonder how a man who qualifies for SSI has the ability to pull models in their twenties. But if you thought it was all about the money, think again. A source who told Page Six they’d been intimate with Assaf in the past revealed that the restaurateur is bringing a whole lot more to the table than his wallet – if you know what we mean.
“It’s the biggest… in New York,” the source told Page Six.
I guess we’ll have to see who he shows up with next.
