Russell Simmons Gives Praise To Ex Kimora Lee

Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:32:00 GMT

Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons are no longer a couple, but the two have remained friendly because they have two daughters together - Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki, 6. And Russell always has kind words for the mother of his girls.

From OK!:

What are his tips for an amicable split?

"You smile no matter what happens, and you keep smiling. During a marriage, they say you make a tremendous compromise. Men say all the time they just be quiet. You've gotta be quiet 24 hours. It's OK if you're separate and can be quiet, but it's a mess if you talk. You just learn to be a little bit accepting and promote tolerance and act and be tolerant yourself. Allow each other a little freedom, and faith."

Russell is proud of how Kimora is raising the girls:

"The thing that makes me most inspired is when there was some celebrity who was in the Hamptons and I just missed her. And they asked me, 'did I want to see her?' and I said 'I'll catch her later.' They said 'well, your daughter would like to see her.' And she's just one of those celebrities who runs around. They said, 'well your daughter would love to see her.' I said, 'would you like to see -- the name of this celebrity?'"What celebrity?'"Doesn't matter. And she said, 'no, no, I think she makes bad choices.' That's what Ming Lee told me. That to me reminded me that their mother has been doing such a good job with them because she knows what's a good choice already."

What does Russell love most about being a dad?

"The innocence is inspiring. The way young people think, you want to think like them so they teach you a lot. Having a child teaches you so much. That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what's important in life."

Kimora Lee Simmons Gives Birth!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 31 May 2009 00:47:00 GMT

Kimora Lee Simmons has given birth! She and husband Djimon Hounsou have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy!

From E! Online:

At least that seems to be the case with new mom and member of the E! fam, Kimora Lee Simmons. The Phat Fashions CEO took to her Twitter page late last night to let the world know that her baby was on the way.

Tweeted Simmons, "It's time!! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!!," followed shortly after by, "Having contractions now! Ooo- wee! It's like WHOA! Love & Light, KLS."

She was even nice enough to send along a TwitPic from her hospital bed—looking nothing short of glamorous, of course.

Sixteen hours later, E! News can confirm that Simmons and her partner, actor Djimon Hounsou, are now proud parents. Says her rep, "Kimora and Djimon's son was born Saturday morning, May 30th."

The lovely face of Baby Phat and the Oscar-nominated actor have been together since March 2007, following her split from husband, entrepreneur Russell Simmons. The two Simmons' share custody of their daughters, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 6. This is Hounsou's first child.

Simmons and her gorgeous girls currently star on her hit reality show, Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane on E! sister station, The Style Network.

While she has yet to tweet her new son's name, we're sure that as soon as Simmons is well-rested and back to her fabulous self, we'll receive the update—via TwitterBerry, of course.

Congratulations!!

Russell Simmons Writes Ex Kimora Lee A Mother's Day Letter

Sassy Smith — Sat, 09 May 2009 12:10:00 GMT

Music and fashion mogul Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons are no longer a couple, but the two are parents together. Russell wants Kimora to know how much he appreciates her, as the mother of his girls - Ming, 9, and Aoki, 6 - so he's written an open letter to her.

Letter after the jump!

Russell writes:

To all the fathers out there, it’s almost Mother’s Day, so you better start thinking about doing the right thing…Flowers, dinner, breakfast in bed, tuition, something special…

Everyone knows Kimora Lee Simmons as a fashion model, author, the genius behind Baby Phat, President and creative director for Phat Fashions, philanthropist, reality television star, talk show host, top model judge…the list goes on and on. To me, she has been my partner, best friend, consultant, confidant and basically the greatest mother I could ever hope for, for my daughters. I feel so blessed to continue to have such a great personal and professional relationship with her. Every time I spend time with our girls, I credit her for giving them their manners, thoughtfulness, intelligence, beauty and kindness.

A lot of you fathers, if you look deeply inside of yourself, you will find the support system in your baby’s mama, that allows you the freedom to sleep at night. Even though you are partly disconnected from the daily process of raising your children, you can trust that she’s getting the job done. So celebrate your baby’s mama, as I do! I know damn well, I’m grateful for my babies’ mama.

Happy Mother’s Day Kimora! You are loved, appreciated and celebrated!

All my love,
Russell

Wow - how lucky for Ming and Aoki, to have such a great dad, who appreciates their mom, despite the couple no longer being together.

Kimora, who is now engaged to Djimon Hounsou, is pregnant and due soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Kimora Lee: It's A Boy!? (PHOTOS)

Kimora Lee Simmons, pregnant with her first child with fiance Djimon Hounsou, was shopping at Bristol Farms in Hollywood on Monday and the CEO for Baby Phat designs had some balloons - and one that had "It's A Boy" stamped on it. Does this mean she's having a son?

More pics after the jump!

I suppose she could be shopping for a pregnant friend or relative who may be having a boy - but wouldn't it be nice if she was having a boy? She's mom to two daughters, so maybe she'd love to have a son as well!

I'm sure her first priority is a healthy baby though!

Kimora Lee's girls are Aoki Lee and Ming Lee - with her ex-husband Russell Simmons.
