Vaughn married Joseph Ward Simmons, commonly known as Rev. in 1983. Run is a rapper, musician, and actor. Angela Simmons, Vanessa Simmons, and Joseph “Jojo” Ward Simmons Jr. are the couple’s three children. Their marriage ended in 1992 after Simmons was accused of rape. After a performance in 1989, the rapper was accused of attacking a 22-year-old fan. The case was subsequently dropped by the court owing to a lack of evidence, clearing Simmons of all accusations.

Simmons admitted to sleeping with her but did not rape her. As a result, Vaughn filed for divorce. She also has a daughter from a previous relationship, Dayan Danielle. Valerie married Alfonzy Vaughn III in March 2002. He grew up in Westbury, New York, and attended Westbury High School.
