Check out Kimora Lee Simmons and her boyfriend model/actor Djimon Hounsou in a recent issue of Harpar’s Bazaar. The good looking couple spoke about their relationship in the mag. Djimon insists that Kimora isn’t as high maintenance as people think and Kimora says that he is “compelling and sweet.” Here a few snippets:
Djimon on Kimora
“My first impression has always been the same: that she’s a beautiful lady, very capable and intelligent and smart with great family values. You see her reality show, and some would call her a quote-unquote high-maintenance lady. Some people may look at it as if it’s a honeymoon stage, but she’s the least high-maintenance lady I’ve ever dated. I’ll bet my hand on that. Or however you say it.”
Kimora on Djimon
“He’s a reality check for me, and I’m a fabulosity check for him,” Kimora says. “After my breakup, I thought, I don’t need anything. Russell used to tell me, ‘You look good, you’re wealthy, you’re young, you have kids. Screw the world.’ And I kind of started to believe that. But now I have someone who has the heart, the soul, and the hotness. Who knows? I could be eating my words later, but I really doubt it. If people were betting, they would bet their good money on Djimon.”
SWAPPING NUMBERS
“When you’re not looking, that’s when it happens,” Kimora says with such authority that, though many people have said so before, it seems true only when it comes out of her mouth. “And I have a lot of hang-ups in life with men. I’m not very trusting,” she says enigmatically. “Rightfully so. Read between the lines.”
So Kimora gave Djimon her number. “I’m very good at exchanging numbers with people for business, and that’s what I did,” Kimora recalls. “He said, ‘Are you really going to use that number, or are you going to use it for business?’ That made me think, Oh.” Her eyes dance.
A few days later, Djimon texted her; she called him immediately. “I’m so over that new thing of talking to everyone on the pager,” Kimora says. “I’m much more into old-world, intimate conversations on the phone. I like to write letters.”
i dont know about writing letters but i hate text convos, if its gonna be more than a few texts just dial my number
Estyle4039 #7: You know a lot of people believe African Americans are the dumbest people on the planet. I see you’re doing your part to perpetuate that. And learn how to spell “inhibitions,” you clueless self-hating dumb ass.
“pager?!?!?” lol i love kimora! and i love djimon hounsou too!
get it!!!!
Estyle4039.. how does it feel to be so ignorant and dumb?!?! Wow! Unbelievable!!
he is way to old for her.
but whatever
Kimora won’t be happy long wit him. You watch…and you can tell he don’t kno her… He said, “She is the least high-maintenance lady I’ve ever dated,”…….I’d like to see his exes.
They make a nice couple. I hope things work out for them!
I believe him when he says she’s low maintenance. Being high maintenace is about wanting needing contant reassurance and pampering. She does that herself.
@ 60
If thats how you see yourself who would want to be with you? You’re fat, have bad skin and cant dress? All things you can change. Kimora is self made. She didnt start out that way. But she thinks she faboulous, and she tells you she, so we believe her.
If you tell people something, and you tell them enough times eventually they will believe you.
THOSE LIPS !!! I want to make out with Kimora
The look cute together..I wish them the best.
Now thats hotness…..
@ 20 thanks that is the most positive thing someone has said here.
I think they are a beautiful couple, and I love Kimora’s Fabolous style to boot.
So stay true guys and all is well.
That’s a good look! : ) Upgrade him girl.
And for the 3rd and final time today (I promise)…Happy B’Day to me (big 3-0)! : ) : ) : )
I actually like them as a couple and as my hope with all black couples or semi-black couples…LOL, I do hope they work. He is majorly fine and Kimora is a fabulous chick, it’s a good match. I do believe that a lot of what people see in Kimora is STRICTLY for the camera’s and stuff, that’s her persona, she’s making a fortune off of playing a bitchy FABULOUS and fierce woman, people expect that outta of her, it she came out all kitten and soft most folks would be like WTF, she’s most likely not always like that, especially if she wants to keep a man, she’ll play the role for the cam and turn that stuff off behind doors.
Good for them.And Kimora is high-maintenance.Let’s not be in denial here.Watch the show.
I like them as a couple. I am not a big Kimora fan but I think Djimon is bring her down to earth and I kinda starting to love the fabulosity that is Kimora!
Good luck in love!
Aww, I Love these 2 as a couple…Kimora says: “He’s a reality check for me, and I’m a fabulosity check for him,” ….LoVe that
. It seems like they really compliment each other, and that’s what it’s all about.
#16 I agree with you. it seems like they are trying to justify their relationship to everyone else and themselves. of course he is not going to say that she is high maintenance in a magazine……he would be stupid to say that she is a biatch! if they like it I love it, but like someelse said, they talk all this noise about how great they are for each other, and then he/she turns around and screws someone in the entourage
#60 I feel your pain. I know what you mean. when you look it don’t happen is true to a certain degree, but sometimes you have to make the effort to look. you just have to keep busy and fill your life with friends, family and hobbies so that looking for a man won’t be the main focus. there is nothing wrong with being assertive in trying to pursue a guy, just don’t take it overboard. Kimora was probably getting calls the mintue it was announced that her and Russell were seperated. hell, she was probably out looking before then…
To all of you who had something to say about my comment:
First and foremost . . .African royalty is far more superior and upscale then what people in America equate to royalty.
Second, my statement of African men having no inhibitions in the bedroom is no secret. They want every inch of their women and that’s not a bad thing. It’s your closed mind that finds it offensive and I am sorry, no apologies from me.
Lastly, I did say that I thought they complimented each other. So as far as you indicating that I am dumb and/or ignorant you need to open your minds and take the negative spin off of it because it wasn’t a negative comment. Your pessimistic minds turned it negative.
Kimora needs someone to blow her back out!! She would humble herself! lol… Maybe he is the man to do it! I agree he might be a high maintenance package himself. However, when you have money would you want to be low-maintenance? I don’t think so you are low maintenance because you have low money..lol.. being a bitch is something different… bitch is as bitch does! that’s inborn…lol..
#22 how would you know where and/or what a rock and hard is unless you’ve been there. All you “self righteous” wannabees . . .@#$% you!!!
#62 WOW . . it’s really not that serious . . it’s a damn blog. Please go purchase a personality!
They look great together….
But on another note….BITCH TAKE TAMEKA FOSTER OUT YOUR AVI IT’S KILLING MY BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER!!!!!!
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee kimora!
man i hope they stick it out and stay 2gether…their kids would be soo ethnic lookin! lol
is she divorced?
I heart them. They complement each other so well. They look GREAT together. They really do.
They are absolutely Gorgeous together. Good for them. I love Kimora.
Wow, Kimora is deep. I feel her on the texting bit. Im so over that too, especially when u really jus want to here that special someones voice. The text message is for the person who is too busy to make time for u. I hope there relationship ship works. Seems like they had a good start.
i think they make a cute couple you go girl
Kimora, God Bless Her, used the hell out of Russell take become wealthy. Her Djimon do make a striking couple though.
Kimora and Tracey Edmonds-Murphy are the same type chick! What can you say?
Fabulosity is an image and persona that Kimora CREATED and it SELLS!!! That is how she got a book AND a TV show to add to her list of lucrative endeavours. Smart Woman!!
I can believe it when he says she is the most low maintenance woman he has been with!! She seems like deep down she is a round the way girl.
I can imagine that they create a beautiful balance and they seem really happy together. I hope it works out for them.
Oh!! @ #60.. Maybe the fact that u dogg yourself the way u do is a reason that IT hasn’t happened for u yet. Noone is going to love you or find you attractive until you can see that within yourself! Get it together ma. Oh, and being light skinned with pretty hair is not necessarily a guarantee.
I luv them both! They look great together…hope all goes well with the duo!
I like these two together. Will make some pretty babies. They really compliment each other. Hope it works out for them, they seem to have a strong connection.
What a beautiful pair…make it work!!!
Dont know why I compare these two couples, but they look cutier than Heidi and Seal
wow, they’re really putting themselves out there
They make a cute couple. #60 – you have to belive in “you” for someone to notice “you”!
^^^^believe^^^
High maintenance my AZZ…that bitch is the QUEEN of HIgh maintenance! He just tryin to make that bitch look like she is normal like every other lady..SHITT..kimora SCREAMS “HIGH MAINTENANCE”!
He just wants to tap that
Are African American women not good enough for African American men? Seems like you have to be mixed with something that mimics caucasion to marry and now date an Africian American man. Kimora is the biggest golddigger out there. She used Russell for his money, contacts and influence. When she got all that she needed, ie bank account stacked with her name on it she said See ya. Would he have let an African American female use him like that, HELL NO.

this is to the dumb ignorant girl that spoke about Africans, remember you are AFRICAN-AMERICAN, meaning that if it wasnt for Africans you would not be here. without AFRICANS, there wouldnt be any African American, are you this retarted. I mean do i need to tell you about slavery and how black people found their way to America. It is a shame that some black Americans disregard their heritage and make such stereotypical comments. Would it be fair for an African to say that all black american men are involved in drive bys and are unable to commit to fatherhood. NO of course not it is the media that paints our Black man to be this, so open your eyes read some books, enroll in a college so that you can learn because by the sound of things, you need some education.
chinky eye black…..quit it! step down off of the soap box!
I love the pic of them sitting. That pic is fierce, they compiment one another very well. I have always loved Kimora. I mean she came from humble beginnings growing up in St. Louis. She was teased because she was tall, awkward, and mixed. It seems as everyone hates on her because of the way she is now. She is up front in your face. Love it or hate it, and she doesn’t care one bit…that’s what I love about her. She is ghetto, but she is real about it instead of trying to act like she is such a sweetheart all the time. No one is a sweetheart all the friggin time. I love to see her with her girls. She takes them everywhere with her instead of leaving them with a nanny. I wanted her and Russell to stay together, but oh well guess it wasn’t meant to be. Do you Kimora.
to andrice, im not understanding the comment, quit it, step down off of the soap box, what the hell is that supposed to mean , i spoke the truth, like it or love it. IGNORANT AFRICAN AMERICANS NEED to realise that their roots lie deep in Africa, thats what i wanted to point out, Africans, African-American, Afro-Carribean still all black who cares.
disgusting, she could do so much better hes ugly.
I like them as a couple actually. Yeah I bet DJimon is putting it on her look at her smiling GO GIRL! LOL
Thats my man!!! she stooooole my man!!!!!! lol
Nah, I’m happy, that she seems happy. Forget all that independent woman sh*t. I’m a woman and I rather have a husband and family. Lonlieness is a B*’TCH! lol
**Plus he aint gay like her last man!** mmmm hmmmm
He’s a hottee, but then again, ANYTHING is better than broke down Russ. He was not a looker…
actually they look nice““ they match~~~~
actually on interracialromancing.com…there r many couples just like them~~~
