Matt Barnes and Anansa Sims look deep in love in their latest photoshoot! The Barnes Brunch has given a closer look at the family of 8. From how it began and how each bonded with the other, the show has been treating fans with numerous moments. Now after offering a view of the ups and downs of the relationship alike, including, breakups, therapy, decision on another child, and more, the two are here to exhibit their strengthened bond with their engagement photos. 

For the photoshoot, Sims wore a gorgeous fitting white gown that appeared to have pearl embellishments on it. On the other hand, the former Los Angeles Lakers player went for a classic look and wore a button-down shirt and matching white pants. Pictures of the two standing barefoot on the beach while holding hands or sharing a hug were shared on their Instagram while behind-the-scenes clips made it to the show. 

Their close friends were sure to pour all the love and good wishes for the couple in the comments section. NFL legend Deion Sanders wrote, “My Dawg!!!” while ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins wrote, “Yess Sir” along with a ‘fingers crossed sign’.

This post, mutually shared by Sims and Barnes, is fittingly captioned ‘Love wins,’ reflecting all the hurdles they have overcome to reach this point. The two put the final seal on their relationship in 2022, with their engagement announcement.

The two even went through a brief break-up in 2020 after they had welcomed their first child Ashton Joseph Barnes in 2018. While Barnes has two kids from his previous relationship, Sims has three kids from her previous marriage to an NFL player. The model shared a heartbreaking moment of her life about suffering a miscarriage and later shared that both wish to expand their family with Sims possibly starting her IVF journey. Congratulating on their new beginnings, one fan hilariously suggested that the couple should consider their modeling career. He wrote, “The first photo is giving magazine cover. @matt_barnes9 I think it’s time to start your model carrier. Lol sissy after the baby drops it’s time to get back to work.”

One of the fans congratulated the former NBA player on finding his true soul mate and wrote, “This is a super peaceful Union I must say. Matt, you finally found your Queen that’s deserving of you & who loves you for YOU!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!”

Another loyal fan of The Barnes Brunch confirmed watching clips from last night and congratulated the two and wrote, “Omg I saw this shoot last night on the show ❤️ I absolutely love you both and to watch your love together is so Beautiful. God is definitely in the middle.”

A clip of the couple’s sweet argument over the pose and position was also shared on the show. One of the fans found it hilarious and adorable and wrote, “Hearing the actual banter between you two during the photo shoot makes the pictures even better!”

Another loyal fan of the couple simply shared some love for the two and wrote, “I’ve always rooted for you two! Love this!” Matt and Anansa had met each other 20 years before they officially started dating. It was their mutual friend in college, Shaya Bryant, who reintroduced the two. “Never give up on love,” Anansa says and she has ensured to stand her ground.
