Kimora Lee Simplifies Name, Drops Ex-Husbands' Last Names

0:00On March 2nd, Kimoralee is moving to simplify her name by dropping the last names of both ex-husbands. Court documents show she's changing from Kimoralee Simmons' listener to just Kimoralee, mainly to streamline her records across various documents. She held on to the Simmons name after marrying Russell Simmons in 1998 and their divorce in 2009. Then in 2014, she married Tim Lysner and added his surname, but they separated in 2022. Lately, tensions with Russell have heated up publicly. In a recent interview, Kimoralee opened up about tricky co-parencing with her kids' fathers, prompting Russell who's living abroad amid serious allegations to defend his long-term financial support and close family ties. This name's shift marks her fourth change overall, skipping a return to her original birth name, Perkins, from her St. Louis roots. With these steps, Kimoralee appears set on a clean break from past chapters, focusing forward amid the ongoing family dynamics.
