Hollywood’s most boring expectant couple, entrepreneur Kimora Lee and actor Djimon Hounsou, may have upped and gotten married, according to the NY Daily News Gatecrasher.
The nuptials allegedly took place last Summer, but we’re probably hearing about it now because Kimora is in need of more attention than what she’s getting on the blogs. Kimora’s daughters with Russell Simmons, Aoki and Ming Lee were reportedly stressed out by the nuptials. “Aoki slept through the entire ceremony, and Ming cried. They were pretty confused as to what was going on,” said a source.
We wonder how Kimora’s other girls are taking the news?
From NY Daily News:
-
According to a source close to the pair, Kimora and her man were married over the summer on a transcontinental trip to Hounsou’s native Benin, Africa ? but they couldn’t make it official in the U.S. because Kimora was still technically married to mogul Russell Simmons; that divorce was finalized on Jan 28, 2009.
Kimora’s faux African wedding was apparently as wild as her Baby Phat fashion shows. “Both Kimora and Djimon wore traditional dashikis,” says our insider. “She went whole hog with the African theme — there were African drums, a traditional ceremony with dancers. . . they even had a hut!”
- Present for the festivities were Kimora’s girls Aoki and Ming, as well as a nanny and photographer. “Aoki slept through the entire ceremony, and Ming cried. They were pretty confused as to what was going on,” says our source. As for Djimon, although he isn’t quite up to the level of daddy Russell, “They like him,” our source says simply.
Afterwards, the motley crew departed for the less rustic pastures of Paris. Under the guise of celebrating Aoki’s 6th birthday, the newly “married” couple enjoyed a romantic honeymoon.
These days, the fashion designer is careful about how she refers to Djimon, but to friends she is quick to call him “my husband.”
And it appears that Kimora, who is currently pregnant with Djimon’s child, can officially use the hubby epithet soon.

i love kimora and if her wedding was over the top and flashy, i wouldn’t expect anything less. congrats to them if it is true.
i doubt those girls didn’t know what was going on . they are too smart not to understand.
I like Kimmora as well.
Mizz she is relevant for being a model, marrying Russell and launching her own fashion line to name a few!
She is FAB!
I’m with MizzD … We care WHY ? ? ? ? over the top fashions GAUDY is the correct word … Kimora makes me roll my eyes involuntairly … lol
Good Morning neighbors.
Is this marriage going to be saw as legal in the USA?
If I was Russell I would have my lawyers all over this.
& I also think this was leaked by KLS camp. Almost a year later. Why squeal now you should’ve spoke out when it was illegal. Would’ve made the story more Juicy.
Good Morning who is this bitch why do i care

This marriage is not seen as legal or bigotry. This was a “civil union” for the sake of her own image. Anna Nicole and Howard Stern, Eddie and Tracey and now Kimora. It’s alot easier to walk away if you only have a civil union.
Sandra is it true that Ciara is the opening act for Brit, Brit?
If so that’s big for CiCi. But this also confirms that Bey is offically the Queen. There is no way I could ever see her being the opening act for anyone @ this point. Headlines only (& only one show in the USA? What’s up with that?)
I don’t know about Benin Republice, but i’m from next door to them, and traditional marriages hold much significance to us, you can get married in the court or church but your people won’t consider you married until you have traditional rites; your children can’t inherit from you, your children can’t get married, if your spouse dies you have no say in their burial and definitely can’t inherit. It’s kinda a big deal.
And @Anna, it’s not really that easy to walk away from, you actually have to go throw “divorce” proceedings as well, at least not where I’m from.

If it’s considered “legal” how could Kimora do it knowing she was married to Russ?
THIS IS JUST IDOL GOSSIP. AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES ATTENTION, DO U THINK SHE WOULD HAVE A SECRETE WEDDING IN AFRICA WITH NO MEDIA WHILE STILL MARRIED TO RUS ? THIS IS JUST GOSSIP.
To me this just proves the Kimora married Russell to silence the gay rumors. Either that or Russell is one of the nicest men to walk the earth. Not many men would be happy knowing they are paying for the next man to live it up.
She just got 40g’s a month on top of whateva else she is getting. & Djmon hasn’t worked in goodness knows how long. I don’t know what’s in his bank account. But I would believe KLS is the bread winner in that relationship.
dijmon is actually working iscream. he was in the movie push that came out this year. ( although it didn’t do so well in the theaters. actually the movie sucks) and he was in never back down in 08. i also think he has a new movie coming out .
It was a commitment ceremony in his native country of Benin. Kimora couldn’t have gotten married because she was still married to Russ and just got divorced in February 2009. Stop fanning the flames and spreading rumors, Sandra.
