Rapper and actor LL Cool J and his wife, Simone I. Smith, are celebrating three decades of marriage, with Smith marking the milestone with a heartfelt and nostalgic post on Instagram.
The post featured a vintage photo of the couple from the early days of their romance, showing them smiling warmly at the camera with their arms around one another.
“30 years of marriage today. All glory to our Lord and savior Jesus the Christ!!” Smith captioned the throwback picture.
In a candid reflection on what makes a marriage last, she offered some insight into their long-standing union. Smith wrote that marriage is “not for the weak, it’s for the faithful” and requires “work, love, listening, picking your battles, being a friend, a prayer warrior, a cheerleader, and a safe place.”
She went on to explain that every marriage has its own unique “DNA,” and there is no universal “blueprint” for success. Instead, she emphasised the importance of “just grace, commitment and two people willing to grow through every season together.”
Smith concluded her tribute by saying,
“We’ve laughed, cried, prayed, forgiven, and grown—together. We did the work, and God did the rest.” She ended the post with a final message of gratitude: “30 years. Countless memories. One God who kept us. LORD I THANK YOU!!”
