I love Kimora's energy and creativity....of course since she just turned 30 Russell had to go get himself a 23 year old model...

Whaaaaaat?!?

I heard that they'd split, but didn't hear the reason why. I assumed that she dumped him.:lol: Well, he likes them young; look at how young Kimora was when she married him.

Wow...I hope she keeps the house; it's so her.
 
I think it is very sad. Kimora has a new make up line at Sephora that hits the stores in April.....plus she has the Fabulosity book.....and kimoraleesimmons.com and babyphat.com and Goddess perfume and 2 very adorable daughters.
 
Just found this news release on Google:

I adore Kimora, I think she is absolutely fabulous, love her style, and she's just a beautiful, smart woman! Anyone who would trade her in for another is pretty much an idiot in my book! I hope she gets everything she wants outta the divorce!
 
I'm sure they will settle the divorce amicably. Kimora will most definitely get everything that is rightfully hers plus some financial support for her children. Wow, that's really sad....Divorce is always hard on the kids...
