It’s usually very difficult for Exs to get along. But it’s almost impossible for an Ex to get along with your current. Usually they bad mouth each other, and just tolerate each especially when children are involved.
However, business partners Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons are known to be one of the very few people that still get along to the extreme after a divorce. They do it so effortlessly that even Russell is friends with his ex wife’s current husband. How they do it, I really don’t know.
Russell and Kimora got married in 1998, separated in 2006 and then Kimora filed for divorce on some; ‘irreconcilable differences’ tip. The divorce was made final in 2009. Anyway,they have 2 daughters. Kimora went on to have another child with her then boyfriend Djimon Hounsou. Their son Kenzo, was born in 2009.
It seems Russell was welcoming of Djimon Hounsou because he continued hanging out with Kimora and her new boo. Imagine this in the ‘real’ world we live in? It’s like when you divorce each other the families divorce too. Most of the times kids are welcome but wena and your new hubby or new wife you hardly feel comfortable to do all that kiking with the other fam. Hehehehe!
Russell on the other hand seems to really be supportive of his ex wife. He is clearly a family man. When Djimon and Kimora fell out he was there still. Kimora then found new love in the arms of Tim Leissner, they got married and Russell was the one that revealed it on social media.
Remember this Tweet?? Russell is so close to Tim that he was asked to be the Godfather to Tim and Kimora’s baby boy. What really got me looking at this situationship is what Russell posted on his FB in December that got some people all fired up.
He posted this picture of Kimora, her hubby Tim and the kids with the following caption…..
Yhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I am curious to know; How healthy is this for Russell? If he wasn’t lonely I’d understand but uyakhalaza mos umalome? Doesn’t this bond with his ex wife affect his chances of moving on to a healthier and happy relationship? I am not saying he must hate his ex wife, I am just wondering if this isn’t way too much. Most men usually try to accept the new man in their ex’s life (depending on how things ended) but women on the other hand, we are difficult. We are insecure. If I get into a relationship with you and you seem to be praising your ex wife 24/7 then I will feel some type of way. I can’t help but think the reason why Russell’s relationships don’t last is because of this situationship. Kimora is happy, she’s beeeeen happy, but I want Uncle Rush to be happy too, not lonely. I feel like he has been putting other people’s happiness before his for far too long now. 
If you were married before and you have kids together, what kind of relationship do you have with your ex hubby/wife? Do you guys still go on family vacations together? Do you do double dates and all that? Please share!
