Kimora Lee Simmons is ready to cut ties and simplify her life by officially dropping the last names of her ex-husbands. In a bid to streamline things, she’s filed documents to change her name from Kimora Lee Simmons-Leissner to just Kimora Lee, trimming the excess baggage along the way. It appears that for Kimora, it’s all about consolidation, particularly when it comes to managing records across multiple documents.
Married to Russell Simmons from 1998 to 2009, Kimora took on his last name but later merged it with Tim Leissner’s when they wed in 2014. After parting ways with Tim in 2022, Kimora seems ready for a fresh start. Sometimes a new name can be liberating—after all, who wouldn’t want to shed some emotional weight? With this change, Kimora sets out on her fourth legal name adventure. What could possibly go wrong this time?
