Hollywood pode ser a terra da fama e da fortuna, mas também é conhecida por rumores de namoro e terríveis batalhas de casamento . A mídia não pode deixar de relatar a fofoca mais quente sobre relacionamentos com celebridades, seja sobre uma história de amor que floresce ou um casamento que está caindo aos pedaços. Para a ex – empresária da Baby Phat , Kimora Lee Simmons, e seu ex, o ator Djimon Hounsou, os problemas de relacionamento deles ainda não chegaram ao fim. Recentemente, os dois ex-amantes estão em uma terrível batalha pela custódia de seu filho Kenzo Lee Hounsou, de 11 anos.A batalha já dura há alguns anos e o casal ainda não chegou a uma resolução. Claramente, o magnata da moda e o ator não se separaram em bons termos. No entanto, é justo que Kimora Lee Simmons e Djimon Hounsou se dêem bem pelo bem de seu filho.
Trouble In Paradise
Everyone knows Kimora Simmons and Djimon Hounsou had issues long before the custody battle over their son began. Back in the summer of 2012, Daily News reported that the couple called it quits after getting into an explosive fight over money. More details revealed that Kimora’s ex-husband, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, had stopped funding their lavish lifestyle. What’s odd is that Russell and Kimora separated in 2006 but weren’t legally divorced until 2009. By that time, Kimora had already moved on to Hounsou in 2007 and the two happily lived off Simmons riches. No wonder the money flow came to a screeching halt. Daily News further reported that Kimora was seen “unloading” her six-bedroom, eight-bathroom Beverly Hills home, having paid all $5.9 million with Russell’s money.
In addition to losing her home, the fashion mogul and her ex were on rocky waters. They had “separated” across states, with Hounsou working from Vancouver. Even at a holiday gathering thrown by Kimora’s ex-husband Russell Simmons, the two barely spoke with one another. A source reported that while Kimora socialized with her ex, Djimon was left to watch over their son Kenzo, as well as Kimora’s daughters Ming and Aoki, whom she shared with Russell. At that point, it was clear to see the two had no love left for one another.

Co-Parenting Gone Wrong
No family is perfect but Kimora Simmons’ co-parenting arrangement with her ex takes the cake. The 45-year-old and her ex-beau Djimon Hounsou dated for several years, seeming like the perfect couple in love. Having already two daughters from her previous relationship with ex-husband Russell Simmons, Kimora and Djimon Hounsou welcomed their first son together in 2011. Though, their relationship quickly turned sour afterward.
Eventually, their relationship turmoil poured over to their shared responsibility of their son. The custody battle over Kenzo began and grows more intense every day. Things became more heated after Hounsou stated that he planned to take Kenzo with him to Africa. After getting word about his plans, Kimora and her ex-husband Russell Simmons tried to pressure Hounsou into signing an agreement promising not to take Kenzo out of the country.
However, Hounsou refused to do so. In another incident, the two started feuding over their son again one year during Father’s Day. Sources reported that the actor became more serious about getting custody of his son, after claiming that Simmons refused to let him see his son on the holiday. The fashion mogul fought back with the statement “She has an open-door policy and has been view open to letting Djimon visit his son, but he’s never around.” Seem like there’s plenty of he said, she said going on between the former couple. Eventually, the Shazam actor decided to take legal action against Simmons to get shared custody of his son. Hounsou filed a lawsuit on August 1, which petitioned a legal parental relationship with their son Kenzo. Additionally, the paperwork stated that Djimon was seeking child support, a custody agreement with Kimora, and visitation rights. Last year, Kimora was spotted being handed the documentation from a legal representative while casually walking the streets of Beverly Hills. It was an aggressive move on Djimon’s part but also necessary.

Kimora And Djimon Are Making Progress
Apesar dos problemas de relacionamento, o casal coloca o filho em primeiro lugar e o lembra de que ele é amado. Em 11 de Kenzo º aniversário, o Shazam ator foi capaz de obter esse tempo de qualidade com seu filho e postou o momento especial em sua página no Instagram. Nas legendas, a estrela das Phat Girls escreveu: “Feliz e feliz festa de aniversário do meu filho #KenzoLeeHounsou #KLH t’aime.” Parece que Kimora e Djimon conseguiram resolver o cronograma de visitas do filho, afinal. Agora, se ao menos eles pudessem resolver a batalha pela custódia de seu filho de uma maneira mais civilizada.
O magnata da moda e ator do Shazam obviamente tem muito o que resolver. Se Kimora Lee Simmons e Russell podem se dar bem pelo bem de suas duas filhas, então ela deve ser capaz de fazer o mesmo com seu ex Djimon Hounsou.
