Kimora Lee Simmons is married again - this time around, to businessman Tim Leissner. The supermodel turned business mogul seems to have tied the knot months earlier. The newlyweds have not officially announced their marriage, but Kimora's ex, Russell Simmons, broke the news on his Twitter page.
The Def Jam co-founder tweeted, "All of us love @OfficialKimora but the fact is she is happily married. Tim is has been family for a while now. #gossipcop." He also added, "Oh. And.. Tim is not Russian. Lol."

Russell reportedly made the announcement to deflect rumors that Kimora is in a relationship with the rapper, Baby, also known as Birdman. She is the mother of his kids after all.
Kimora has been strangely quiet about her relationship with Leissner however. The fabulous Just Fab President and Creative Director has not revealed anything about her new man, but the Goldman Sachs businessman was spotted with her and her kids back in December on a holiday at St. Barts. The family was also with Russell on the trip.
Leissner would be Kimora's third serious relationship. She had two Hollywood partners previously - Russell and the actor Djimon Hounsou.
She first met Russell in 1992 when Kimora was only 17 years old, and Russell was 35. They married in St. Barts in 1998, when Kimora was 23. They had two daughters, Ming Lee Simmons and Aoki Lee Simmons. They separated in March 2006, and were eventually divorced in January 2009.
Kimora started dating Hounsou in 2007 after her separation with Russell. They had a commitment ceremony in Africa in 2008, but they never legally married in the US. They had one child - Kenzo Lee Hounsou. They lasted five years, and they officially separated in November 2012.
Leissner will be Kimora's first non-high-profile husband. Not much is known about him, aside from his career as an investment banker.
