Just because daddy's little girl has a new main man, that doesn't mean the father-daughter bonding ends.

It’s been a week since LL Cool J walked his eldest daughter Italia down the aisle, and she’s officially married now, but she’ll be daddy’s little girl forever.

While she may have taken Cardinez on as her new last name, she’ll always be a Smith, which is fully evidenced by the couple’s latest double date with mom and dad.

The Cardinezes joined the Smiths for a night out at the Barclays Center to watch the inaugural Big3 tournament. Date nights are nothing new for LL Cool J and Simone, who have been married for almost 22 years.

Italia and her new husband Lamar taking in a double date with these two is a great start to their marriage, because let’s be honest, the Smiths are goals!

The Big3 league was founded by LL Cool J’s good friend Ice Cube, as a 3-on-3 concept featuring former NBA greats and players. The first game of the season took place in Brooklyn and both couples enjoyed floor seats for the game.
