Businessman Russell Simmons has spoken out after his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, discussed their relationship and co-parenting in recent interviews. Kimora, a fashion mogul and reality TV star, said she does not have a strong relationship with Russell. The couple shares two daughters, Ming Lee, 25, and Aoki Lee, 23. Kimora also has two other children from different relationships: Kenzo Lee, 16, with actor Djimon Hounsou, and Wolfe Lee, 10, with former banker Tim Leissner.

Kimora, in her interviews, explained that co-parenting is difficult. She said she tries to maintain a healthy relationship and environment for the children, but it requires effort from both parents. She admitted that currently, she is doing most of the parenting herself. She noted that her children spend most of their time with her and have limited contact with the other parents. Kimora emphasized that the children’s relationships are theirs to have and not hers to control.
Despite the disagreement, both parents seem focused on their children’s well-being. Kimora said her children have strong support from family and close friends. “It takes a village,” she said, adding that her kids are surrounded by people who care about them. Russell, on his part, appears to be seeking more involvement in his daughters’ lives and ensuring his relationship with them is maintained.
