Aoki Lee Simmons says she has no desire to return to the United States anytime soon.
The 23-year-old shared a series of Instagram Stories on Sunday (Jan. 18) sharing her glimpse of paradise from Bali, and she sent a message suggesting she might not return home.
"Move back to the US this. Move back to the US that. I get to wear a backless sundress every single day & I never have to wear shoes, the answer is no," she wrote as a caption along with a mirror selfie.
She followed that up with scenic views from her living space in Bali, including lush greenery seen from her bed, another shot from her shower, and a tranquil outdoor scene with the caption captioned, "But I miss you all."
Aoki, the youngest daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons, 50, and Russell Simmons, 68, has been spending time in Bali, where her father has lived since 2018 following multiple sexual assault allegations in the U.S. In 2024, Russell denied speculation that he is unable to freely return to the United States in light of the lawsuits.
Despite the public fallout between Russell and daughters Ming and Aoki, it appears that his relationship with Ming has been on the mend.
A post from December 2024 showed that he spent the holidays with Aoki.
“For the last month i have been so blessed to have my brilliant loving and amazing daughter here,” he wrote at the time. “There is no greater gift to a dad then his daughter. I can honestly tell you that this is the best christmas any father could ever have. This year (even more then last year )”
At the beginning of 2025, Russell shared footage of Aoki practicing yoga to his Instagram Story. The caption of the post reflected on introducing both Aoki and Ming to yogic science during their childhood.
In 2024, a 21-year-old Aoki made headlines when she was seen kissing 65-year-old restaurateur Vittori Assaf. The two reportedly called it quits within days.
“It went from zero to 100 really quick,” Kimora said about the fling in a December 2025 episode of the Not Skinny But Fat podcast. “I was like, ‘Aoki, I didn’t even know this was a thing … I found out when the world found out. So that was what was so shocking.”
She continued, “Having gone through—not exactly the same, but similar—that big age-gap relationship, let’s just call it that. I do think it’s predatorial … I didn’t say it in that way because it was this fast, and it blew up to be so much, so then you can’t be the mom that’s like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ But that definitely was the thing.”
