All About Kimora Lee Simmons’ 5 Kids

Kimora Lee Simmons and her fabulous family are back.

After nearly 15 years, the model and entrepreneur has returned to reality TV, with Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane, premiering Dec. 2 on E!. The new show is the latest from Kimora, who previously starred in Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, which ran for four seasons and ended in 2011.

In the trailer for Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane, Kimora is shown trying to juggle her busy life as a mogul and mom to her five kids: Ming, Aoki, Kenzo, Wolfe and Gary, along with her “bonus son” Jaden.

Kimora’s oldest children, daughters Ming and Aoki, have been following in her fashionable footsteps and pursuing careers in modeling. Meanwhile, her sons tend to keep low public profiles, though Kenzo recently starred in his first modeling campaign.

Still, Kimora doesn’t shy away from touting their accomplishments. “I am most proud of and in love with my beautiful, smart, kind, loving kids!” she captioned a family photo on Instagram in January 2022. “My greatest accomplishments in life,” she wrote in July 2020.

So, with the premiere of Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane on Dec. 2, here is everything to know about Kimora Lee Simmons’ kids.

Ming Lee Simmons, 25

Ming was born on Jan. 21, 2000, to Kimora and Russell Simmons.

After Ming made her runway debut with her family, she set her sights on a modeling career.

Kimora closed her early-2000s Baby Phat and Baby Phat Girlz fashion shows by strutting down the catwalk hand in hand with her daughters.

“I grew up on the runway, walking with my mom and sister at the end of every Baby Phat show during fashion week in New York,” she told W Magazine in October 2017. “I’ve been in ads with my mom and sister since I was 2 years old. I’m only now realizing how uncommon that is and I’m deeply appreciative of those experiences.”

In addition to her professional modeling career, Ming shares her sense of style with her over 1 million followers on Instagram. She also posts travel photos, as well as snaps with her family and friends.

In the fall of 2025, she launched her bodycare brand, Boulangerie Beauty.

Aoki Lee Simmons, 23

Aoki was born to Kimora and Russell on Aug. 16. 2002, their second child together.

Similar to her older sister, Aoki is also pursuing a career in modeling: she made her runway debut in July 2021, walking for Pyer Moss Paris Couture. She has also posed for her family’s Baby Phat line, Just Fab, among other notable brands.

In addition to following in her mother’s footsteps, Aoki studied at Harvard University. She made headlines in March 2019 when she announced her acceptance at just 16 years old, and in May 2023, she graduated from the Ivy League school.

“I feel grateful, proud and relieved — in that order!” Aoki told PEOPLE of her accomplishment. “It’s a surreal feeling to be done with something that was such a huge part of my life. Now, like every other graduate, I’m on to the next chapter.”

As a student, Aoki challenged the stereotype of juggling a modeling career and attending school full-time.

“I would like to change the idea that you can’t be smart and pretty, or you can’t be smart and enjoy your looks. … You can be two kinds of people in one person,” she said in an August 2022 TikTok.

The following summer, when Aoki turned 21 in August 2023, Kimora honored the milestone by dedicating a post to her daughter on Instagram.

“Mama loves you so much and I’m so super proud of you! I know you’ve been through A LOT and God has kept you and us all covered,” she wrote. “From graduating from HARVARD at 21(!!!) to paving your path in New York City modeling! You’re doing it all! It’s all paying off for you.”

Kenzo Lee Hounsou, 16

Kenzo was born to Kimora and actor Djimon Hounsou on May 30, 2009, the only child the former couple share together.

Shortly after Kenzo’s birth, Kimora revealed to OK! Magazine in August 2009 that his name means “third and wise [in Japanese].”

Although just a newborn at the time, she described his personality and revealed whom he most resembled.

“He has a very fiery little temper, and we always joke that we’re not sure who that is,” she told the outlet. “I am kind of known for being fiery, but Djimon is the ‘calm fiery’ before the storm.”

While Kimora’s first son displays athleticism and passion for basketball, she makes it known that his compassion for others is one of his most valued traits. He has previously volunteered his time, giving back to the community.

In July 2024, Kenzo graduated from middle school, and according to his Instagram and Sports Illustrated, he plays basketball for Sierra Canyon School.

Aside from being an athlete, Kenzo is also a model. In September 2025, he starred in his first modeling campaign for the clothing brand Eve.

Gary Lee, 16

In January 2020, Kimora welcomed Gary by adoption when he was 10 years old. Gary was born in October 2009.

“I love children, and I’ve looked into adopting,” Kimora told Ok! Magazine in August 2007. “I definitely see lots of children in my future,” she said at the time.

The opportunity came up through family, and despite Gary being introduced to their family at an older age, Kimora told Us Weekly in May 2020 that he “blended right in.”

She noted, “I’m blessed and super fortunate to have a boy like him and it’s been a very painless sensation. He just dropped in like he was born there.”

Gary graduated from middle school in July 2024 and now plays high school football, according to Kimora’s Instagram.

Wolfe Lee Leissner, 10

Wolfe was born on April 10, 2015, to Kimora and Tim Leissner; he is the first and only child of the former couple.

She opened up to PEOPLE about his birth being “the most challenging” of her four.

While Kimora opted for an all-natural birth “with no drugs,” the model told PEOPLE she was proud of her accomplishment.

“It really shows that moms-to-be have the power to deliver any way they choose. Choice is what’s most important for women — across the board,” she said.

Though Wolfe is still young, he has appeared on his mom’s social media. Whether he’s skateboarding around the house or making TikToks with his older siblings, Kimora often features him on her page.

In April 2025, Kimora celebrated Wolfe’s birthday with a sweet Instagram post, writing in the caption, “I can’t believe my BABY is 10!!! Wolfe Lee! 🐺🥹❤️😩. You make me so proud every single day, my smart, funny, silly boy! Mama loves you so so much! #goldenbirthday.”
