'Run's House' Just Got Bigger As JoJo Simmons Marries Longtime Girlfriend Tanice Amira
Congrats to the happy couple!
Instagram Congratulations are in order for the "Reverend Run," AKA Joseph Simmons, AKA one-half of the legendary hip hop duo Run-DMC. The rap legend has recently added to his ever-growing family when his son, JoJo Simmons, got married to his longtime love. But who is Tanice Amira, JoJo Simmons' wife and Reverend Run's new daughter-in-law?
In 2005, the Reverend Run found a new "life" in front of the camera when Run's House debuted on MTV. In addition to introducing the Reverend, and his music, to a whole new generation of fans, Run's House introduced fans to a whole new set of family members in the Simmons clan. Vanessa Simmons, Angela Simmons, and Joseph Ward Simmons Jr. (known as "JoJo" to the family and to fans) were all given a career, of sorts, in front of the camera as Run's House lasted for six seasons.
But now there's a new family member in the Simmons clan, so let's look at what we know about Tanice Amira:
1. They've been dating for nine years, and have a three-year-old daughter.
"Tanice Amira and I have been together for a long time and have a beautiful daughter. We always knew it would be forever and this was the perfect time to make it official. Surrounded by our family and closest friends. I’ve never been happier to be able to call her my wife," said JoJo Simmons, exclusively, to People.
2. Tanice Amira married JoJo Simmons in New Jersey.
Tanice Amira and JoJo Simmons knew how to get married in style, that's for sure. The couple tied the knot at a New Jersey castle called the Legacy Castle, which is in North Bergen, NJ. Hundreds of guests witnessed the nuptials, and you can check out some exclusive photos below.
3. JoJo proposed to Tanice on an episode of Growing Up Hip Hop.
