Russell Simmons Praises Kimora’s Mothering Skills

Russell Simmons doesn’t let his split from Kimora Lee, who is mom to their daughters Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki, 6, get him down.
His Baby Phat ex, 34, welcomed a baby boy Sunday with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou, 45. Russell is certainly sending his best wishes.
What are his tips for an amicable split?
“You smile no matter what happens, and you keep smiling,” Russell tells me. “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.”
The entrepreneur, 41, was thrilled to plan a surprise birthday party for Aoki at his Hamptons home last year.
“Ariel [The Little Mermaid] was the star of the party,” he says. “She was in the pool and moving around the house. And all kinds of toys were in my backyard and all kinds of friends. They came from New Jersey and New York State and even from L.A. to surprise her. She came in from Paris.”
Their older daughter Ming Lee helped out with ideas for the bash. Ming Lee is studying French and Italian.
“She loves yoga, she loves piano, she’s a very cultured girl. She went to Africa and Paris with her mother. She’s learned a lot about a lot to be so young.”
He’s 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.”
Congratulations to Kimora, Djimon, Ming Lee and Aoki on the new addition to their family.
Kimora Lee Simmons’ Baby Fete
April 29th, 2009
Kimora Lee Simmons left her baby shower until the last possible moment. “I’m about to have a baby,” says Kimora, who’s due in June. “I’m ready to go, so it was kind of last minute and low-key,” she tells OK!.
The model and Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane star, 34, invited OK! to her L.A. home on April 19 to herald the imminent arrival of her third child (her first with actor Djimon Hounsou, 45).
Among the 50 guests were Stevie Wonder and his wife, Kai, Holly Robinson Peete, and Kimora’s daughters with ex-hubby Russell Simmons, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 6.
Kimora hasn’t had the sex of the baby confirmed yet, but she confides, “We’re
leaning heavily toward the blue team!”
Crazy cravings: “I’ve been eating a lot of spicy food. I put jalapenos in everything.”
Shapes and sizes: “With the girls I was wider in the belly. Now I’m narrower, but if I turn sideways I can’t fit through the door!”
Dream dad: “Djimon is a spiritual person, and it’s a big deal for him to have a baby. When he first heard the heartbeat at the ultrasound, he said he felt very humbled.”
Big sisters: “The girls say, ‘We’re going to dress the baby up!’ Djimon’s like, ‘No, you’re not going to be pinning tulle to the boy!’ ”

Russell Simmons Explains Child Support
February 27th, 2009
In light of reports that surfaced on Friday stating Russell Simmons, 51, was ordered to pay his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, $40,000 a month in child support, the entrepeneur has taken to his blog, calling the decision his own.
"I am reading these stories today about how a judge ordered me to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support and I want to make something very clear. Nothing was ordered, it was given. My kids have a fabulous life; they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I’m very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don’t have it, I’m coming to live with them!"
-Russell Simmons
According to E!, Kimora Lee was granted sole legal and physical custody of their two daughters, 9-year-old Ming and 6-year-old Aoki in the settlement, with Simmons paying child support until the girls reach 19 1/2 years of age.
In exchange for his bankroll, and on top of his visitation, Simmons will have custody of the girls every eighth week during the school year and on a handful of holidays.
