Kimora Lee Simmons Talks Family Amid Split Rumors

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Today Kimora Lee Simmons staunchly denied rumors that she had separated from her second husband Djimon Hounsou by swiftly retweeting truncated messages to some ill informed fans.

Here’s an excerpt from the tweets;

“@djimonhounsou separating evn b a RUMOR!? They r STUCK 2gethr!!”

Kimora retweeted another message which read;

“Wht SHE said! RT @kieya7664”

Tabloid news source MediaTakeOut.com had originally reported the separation stating it was due in part to “friction” within the relationship. They went on to report that Kimora was even considering moving back to New York.   Kimora pictured recently without her wedding ring certainly didn’t help things as it only further fueled the rumor that the pair had parted ways.

However Kimora maintains that her family remains firmly grounded and balanced as she even made statements in a recent interview with Parade magazine that on her list of priorities, family comes first.

“It’s about prioritizing. Just take it one step at a time. Do the best that you can. I’m a mom and I have two husbands, an ex husband and a next husband. It’s a blended family and it’s very hard to keep things together, but we’re happy and we live in love. Djimon and I are so happy. Like every mom, you try to juggle, but I also want people to know that you don’t have to be a superhero. I’m not a super hero; I have a team of people who help me. I have a great family support system. I want people to know that you don’t have to do all of this stuff by yourself. There’s no award that goes for doing everything yourself. I applaud mothers everywhere.”

Whew, glad to hear this was only a rumor.   I mean I saw that Demi Moore and Ashton thing coming but Kimora and Djimon make such a cute couple.   I hope they continue to keep love and family as their primary priorities.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
