Kimora Lee Simmons and Amistad cover the February issue of EBONY magazine — but excerpts from the article about them have us confused over whether or not the pair is actually married. Look under the hood to catch a clip

For high-profile duo beauty maven Kimora Lee Simmons and actor Djimon Hounsou, the term “marriage” is not defined by an official license. The two, who sealed their relationship during a “commitment ceremony” in front of Simmons’ daughters, Ming and Aoki Lee, while in Benin, Africa, said they are married.

Armed with their new baby boy, Kenzo Lee, the two say they feel very fortunate. In fact, Simmons says her ex-husband and father of her two daughters, Russell Simmons, is actively involved in her bicoastal life. “I feel like my life has fallen into the right place in a great way,” she said. “I’ve been very slow and deliberate, and I feel like it has paid off for me in ways that I could not have imagined.”

Whether or not they got the piece of paper to make it official, we love Kimora and Djimon’s blended family! Wonder if BDR wouldn’t let Ming and Aoki pose for the cover? Bet they were PISSED!!! Those little girls love the limelight just like their mama.

    I like Djimon. He’s been in the industry for years, but you never hear his name associated with any foolishness.

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    Its a beautiful pic of him, the baby and the girls on a lawn inside the mag

  • LouLou

    why do you have to call him Amistad?….he’s a strong black man looking after his woman. Why do you guys always have to be so negative?

  • mayso loso

    They are married in God’s eyes!… Just not in the American Court system.

  • Bey-nonsense

    after dealing w/ Russell she probably needed to get laid.

  • Kigali- I will check you

    SHe shouldnt have had another baby by a man she wasnt married to. She could have at least have gotten married. THis is just too unstable for all the children involved.

  • BlackMale

    He looks way better than her. And I’m guessing Kim is supposed to be the younger of the two?

  • AWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAP!!!!!

    Ebony has come a long way. I’m impressed with the new layout. The editor over there is really serious about reinvigorating, enhancing the magazine and improving it’s image. Definitely a step up. I’ve never seen Ebony look so classy. Congratulations.

  • CJ

    Lovely Couple!!

  • black Barbie

    So, do we think that they had a “commitment ceremony,” because Kimora receives spousal support from Russell which might stop should she remarry?

  • ayumih87

    who cares if they’re married or not…if they’re happy, so be it

  • RealIsh

    How selfish is it that she just has her new family on the cover she shouldnt split her family into new and old . She is such a weak woman to allow for this to happen and Africans are VERY VERY controling so i wouldnt be shocked if she left it all in her “husband” hands to cut Ming and Aoki out the Cover I mean lets be honest here they have been on several more covers than his old UGLY ass. whats next Boarding School???

  • WhoGoneCheckMeBoo

    depends on where they stay and if they claim each other in that way…I love it in Texas…you live together for a year and your legally married…

    @Kigali- I will check you. Unstable? Um….did you not recall that she was married to Aoki and Ming’s father. They are divorced now, which means that being “married” isn’t what makes the relationship. It’s what the two people involved put into the union. Sh** happens and you move on. That’s exactly what Kimora did and now she’s happy regardless of a piece of paper. Cut the criticism and be happy for a couple who is obviously doing great.

  • All 0′Yall

    They had a traditional wedding ceremony in Benin Africa and that is how 90% of Africans get married and STAY married.No courts NO church Just heartfelt commitment and sencerity with family invoved.
    In the African traditional way they are married so all you ignorant, clueless, never stepped out of American soil keep your views to yourselves…….

  • LouLou

    African men controlling???….erm stfu….every nationality has controlling men…I’m African and my father, grandfather and great-grandfather are African men and all the women in my family are free as they want to be…I really hate it when people generalise people they know nothing about.

  • Kigali- I will check you

    @All O Yall,

    What do you mean by a traditional wedding? THe United States is a modern society, we have to keep records, we have to make sure no one is marrying anyone under age, we have to make sure that person isnt committing bigamy. Just because the rule of law and technology is involved doesnt take away what it actually means.

    Hate American marriages (whatever the means) but love divorce settlements.

  • rayhummer

    YOURS TRULY RAY…”NOW SHE IS CALLED KIMORA LEE SIMMONS HOUNSOU,,,WOW! THREE SURNAMES THATZ A GUINNESS RECORD 5HIT RIGHT DER!… SIGNED HUMMER

  • rmb

    Why can’t ppl just be happy that they’re happy? @ Kigali-I will check you: you seem to be a very smart but also very opinionated individual and b/c someone’s views differ from yours that doesn’t make them bad or even wrong just different. It seems to me with all the hate and unhappiness in the world we should just be happy that they are raising their child together and whether or not they are legally married or shacking that’s their business and maybe we should focus on raising our own children and less on focusing on what they’re doing with theirs.

  • Looking for a Bossip Baby (I love a women in heels)

    It boils down to Kimora gets dropped by BDR if she gets married….no more gravy train.

    @ kigali
    maybe they want to get away form the hollyweird situation ,i know i would.So Since he is the man and he is from Africa he would rather have married the African way…..
    Which is way better than hollyweird marriages.
    Go kimora and djimon have a blissful family life….

  • jerjorju

    @Kigali- I will check you

    What did you expect her to do? . ..Hold the baby in until she got married? If it is true that 90% of African marriages last this marriage has a better chance than American marriages of which 50% end in divorce. A piece of paper does not make a marriage: Tiger Woods, Pres. Bill Clinton, Senator John Edwards, etc. There are unmarried couples who stay together happily without the license: Joy Behar (of the View), Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey for example. Come into this century.

  • The Truth

    you guys are come true haters. Let that lady live her life and ya’ll do the best you can and live yours. Ya’ll are not God so don’t act like you are. She’s a real woman with lots of cash, don’t forget she was hood raised and her mom was broke.

  • Jaquerra

  • Cutie#1
