Solange Knowles’ son, Daniel “Julez” J. Smith Jr., is sparking romance rumors with reality star Tommie Lee.
Julez, 21, seemingly got cozy with Lee, 41, in several videos that surfaced via social media on Monday, March 23. In one clip that appeared to be from Lee’s Snapchat account, the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta alum filmed herself getting a piggyback ride from Julez as they enjoyed a night out together.
“Typa s*** you do when you like somebody,” Julez, who is the son of Solange, 39, and ex-husband Daniel Smith, said.
Lee added, “My baby. So fine.”
Julez then joked that it’s “hard to be fine” while carrying someone on his back, to which Lee responded, “Still fine.”
In another video, Lee hopped down from Julez’s back and locked her arm through his as she laughed about their “crazy weekend.” Meanwhile, a third clip showed the pair watching a female contortionist perform. Julez rested on Lee’s lap as she leaned down and kissed him.
Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Julez and Lee for comment.
While Lee comes from the world of reality TV, Julez has made a name for himself in modeling. He also hails from a famous family, including both his mom and his aunt Beyoncé. Back in February 2025, Lee gushed about his bond with his cousins Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7.
“My baby cousin Rumi, I [saw] her not too long ago, before I went to Paris actually,” he told Teen Vogue at the time. “I was packing my bag and she was like, ‘Where are you going?’ I was like, ‘I’m going to Paris.’ She was like, ‘Oh, you’re going to work.’”
Julez continued, “That was my first time where any of my cousins or siblings was like, ‘OK, yeah, he got a job now. My cousin’s going to work.’ They’re asking me questions like, ‘You drive now?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m 20 now. I ain’t the same 15-year-old [from] when you were born.’”
The model added that seeing his cousins look up to him “warms” his heart.
“It’s been protector mode since everybody was born,” he said of Beyoncé’s kids with husband Jay-Z. “Just trying to be a positive role model as they get older. I think that’s been my main goal. … They know their cousin is a model now, so it’s like, all right, that might rub off on one of the kids. I’m really close to my family, so being the oldest is like, I got to set the tone, set the standard for them, make sure I’m in the same direction that I would want them to go.”
