From the beautiful folks over at YBF:

Kimora and Djimon had a secret “commitment ceremony” in Djimon’s hometown in Benin, Africa last summer.  Yeah we knew she was rocking that big ass wedding ring for a reason.  They snuck away to his home so that Kimora and his family could meet.  And while there, they had a full out commitment ceremony like only KiKi could have:

“Both Kimora and Djimon wore traditional dashikis.  She went whole hog with the African theme − there were African drums, a traditional ceremony with dancers . . . they even had a hut!”

Source

Apparently they opted for the commitment ceremony because Russell and KiKi were still legally married.  No word on if this commitment is legally binding here in the states even now that the Simmons’ divorce is final.

Apparently Ming cried throughout the entire thing and Aoki slept through the whole thing.  A source says hey were “confused” about what was going on.  I wonder how they’re going to act when this new baby of KiKi and Djimon’s hits the scene.

And by the way, Ming and Aoki are now calling Djimon daddy.  Well, “Baba” to be exact–which is a cultural term meaning Father.  So what does Russell have to say about all this?

    THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER, LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! DAMN CAN’T SOME PEOPLE HAVE PRIVACY?!?!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chunkie_Blondie/ Chunkie_Blondie

    I wish them all the best, but y they got Russell’s kids calln Dijmon “Baba” if it means father, they already got one. Russell is not a dead beat, its not like he’s not around. That is so disrespectful. I know Russell is probably furious about that. I think Kimora has no respect for Russell as a father just on that note.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chinadollo1/ chinadollo1

    maybe they do but they should not be calling that man daddy she looks like a real b***h anyway like her s**t dont stink

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Alpha_Theory/ Alpha_Theory

    As soon as that pink s**t got off of Russell Simmon, after he hooked her chinky behind up, she go and divorce him and run off with YET another brotha. And then sistas want to dis brothas and call us all sort of name. Tell that bed hoppin gold digging chink to keep her behind quiet. Any bet, she gets knocked up by him as well, and find a way to get a divorce.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chinadoll410/ Chinadoll410

    idk… i think that kimora is a money hungry gold digger…. she seems stuck way up and phoney as hell….plain out her personality sucks,i do like some pieces in her clothing line…..but homegirl is wicked

    F**K WHAT THOSE HATERS THINK, KIMORA IS DOING HER THANG.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ebony44_44/ ebony44_44

    That’s kind of messed up for her to have her kids call another man daddy, when they father have a father that’s taking good care of them, she’s a real B***h for doing that, now I am wondering what Russel thinks about his girls calling another man Baba. Kimora, that was not real tacky, which further lets me know that you have no class..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kandyeyez18/ Kandyeyez18

    I would not have my kids calling no man daddy if they already got 1, she probably made them kids say that 2 get Russell mad..Plus he aint no betta then Russell anyway..She need 2 sit her ass down n take care of them kids..no wonder y them kids was crying and sleepin cuz they dont give a s**t..lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/petite1hun/ petite1hun

    She needs to let them girls be with their real father, who everybody knows loves them to death!! And why is she lettin them call Djimon Baba? They already have one that Kimora won’t let them see! I never liked Kimora, I knew somethin wasn’t right about her…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/foxy513/ foxy513

    Kimora, now you know that ain’t right! Those poor girls. I pray that everyone in that situation can cope with the new changes. Congrats anyway :(

    People you do not live these celebrities life. You do not know what goes on in their household or their everyday lives. Stop making judgments on people you don’t know.I believe she is a very good mother from what I’ve seen but that could be as well wrong since I don’t know her personally. If that’s how she wants to run her household so be it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/exotic_star/ exotic_star

    wow how the outside looks in , and they look in on what they dont understand and than judge what is being done with no life experance, people dont judge GOD WILL JUDGE THIS UNION AND HER FIRST UNION WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD. Be careful not to throw stones……

    shoot, well go on kimora! he is a fine man :)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SunBerri/ SunBerri

    Wow. Kimora was still married to Russell (in the US) but yet gets married to Djimon (in Africa)? And she is carrying his baby?? That is crazy. How long has Kimora and Russell been split up? I actually thought Russell and KiKi were a nice couple and had children together, running their businesses…man I am so confused. I just hope Djimon and KiKi (when did she start calling herself that??) stay together because if they do not that is seriously messed up. Marriage is not to be played around with. That is all really =]

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    They wrong for calling her “Ki Ki”….I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that is a nickname she approves of. Anyhow, I am happy for her because everyone deserves happiness and I believe these two genuinely love each other. Two models…can’t go wrong with that one :).

    I say go Kimora! It is very sad that this society is harder on women than men. Mr. Simmons is hoeing around and nobody is saying nothing, wussup with that. I feel bad for the girls cuz i know they love there daddy and mom and really desire for them to be together

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pretty-cp/ pretty-cp

    It is sad to see people so judgmental. It is highly disrespectful to call her names, and equally sad to see that most of the ones doing such are women themselves. She is not a gold digger, she is the CEO of a company that she works hard for. Secondly, Djimon seems to be a nice young man and I am sure the children do not mind calling him whatever they want to. Lastly, like it or not this is a union and prayerfully a blessed one. Yes, it is sad to see society is harder on women than males when concerning relationships/marriage, do’s and don’ts.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Heart_Mender67/ Heart_Mender67

    To all the people wishing them luck and all, shut the hell up! Do you think she gives a damn about you wishing her well? She used Russell to start her business. He is an idiot, to have let her play him like that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LilMaMaLL4/ LilMaMaLL4

    1. it’s effed up to do the marraige thing when you still married to someone else.
    2. i personally feel like marraige is a 1 time deal and if u don’t plan on spending your life with 1 person you need not have kids with the person you don’t intend to marry.
    which takes me to
    3. i’d beat her ass if she had MY KIDS calling ANOTHER MAN daddy that didn’t donate the sperm to her egg! that’s disrespect on so many levels. i’d try to fight her ass for custody of my kids! I never really liked that trick anyway.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jouvert/ Jouvert

    Dag… Its not like Russell was abusive to her.. Like he treated her so bad.. she got a good gig and made out like a bandit with HIS hard earned company.. noone would have taken a 2nd look at her if she wasn’t Mrs Simmons.. I’m happy that she is happy, but no need to hate on Russell.. afterall he lost more than she did in the deal.. lost the kids, lost the company.. and still has to pay for all the “necessities” that she enjoys…Don’t be hatin..lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shari1980/ shari1980

    Those girls has only one daddy and that is russell himself. I really dont like kiki anyway…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet_hospitality/ sweet_hospitality

    After reviewing some of your commits, I see why our culture is so jacked!!! Okay, biblically speaking, she took vows with Russell so that was suppose to be her one an only. If there was an issue of infidelity, then there is grounds for divorce, however, they just state irreconciliable differences. So, they suppose to stay separate there… HOWEVER, I see neither of them professing a Holy and clean lifestyle according to the bible so NONE of what I just said applies to them. Just said that to clear the air for those with religious commits on the blog. Now in this case, Kimora has moved on and so has Russell. If Kimora marries someone else they become her childrens step-father, if they want to create a special name for him to bring common ground to the family, thats there life. Nothing wrong with it. They know who there father is and by no means is Djimon a replacement. So all the people on here talking about they’d never let there kids call someone else dad, give me a break!! Its not that serious, they know who you are in there hearts and if your insecure about them using that term with someone else, you must not be fulfilling your FATHERLY duties!!

    thats sad those kids call him daddy. damn shame

    People have the right to MOVE ON. Not sure I how I feel about the kids “checking out”. They should have been comfortable enough to attend (mom should have made sure they were ready for this) BUT nonetheless, she has the right to move on.

    Calling him Baja is not a crime. I just hope Djimon knows what he is getting into. This chick gives off “kinda wild.”

    Anyway, no one ever says anything when men move on to whatever woman they want so what is the big deal?

    Leave the woman alone she is happy, her and Russell have moved on and she deserves to to live her life with whom ever she wants.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ryansouth/ ryansouth

    Russel has been up in there.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/erica222/ erica222

    I think that yes she should have moved on, and yes men do it everyday no one says anything about that. but for thoses kid to can him dad is not right especially if their father is playing apart in their lives. but all and all i think djimon could have did better than kimora anyways. it will not last long because she wants to control everything.

    The times are forever changing and the woman is not victim always. I’m with Mr. Simmons on this one. If you haven’t been married to a Korean, you probably will not know what I’m talking about. But being married to a black/korean woman is challenging and that I would advise anybody to take. I agree on this part with mixing races. This one particular two races should not mix. Black and Korean simply don’t mix. Find another race. And I’m speaking of experience. Many, many, many black men have married AND INCLUDING ME TO black/korean women and for all of the marriages I know ended very badly. I’m not preaching hate but giving you a warning what you about to commit yourself too. Know the culture of different backgrounds of ethnicity before jumping in the bed. Commitment is a very strong word that people use lightly. Is Djimon willing to compromise with her? Koreans are very demanding and her little girls are mixed and needs guidance from both parents. On the other hand African men are very orderly and sometimes moody. I will keep an eye on him if I was Kimora. I want to see how this comes out. Both races are strong will. I do love Koreans and the food, but mixing the races should be far warned. Mixing these two races is like trying to put a magnet back together when its broke.
    I sensed Simmons is a great father and he should be called that not Djimon. He can have his own kids call him that.

    yeah yeah.Kim and Russ did make a good team in the fashion industry. Russ should have remembered Kimora is from the hood and still has those ways in her. I met Kimora in person at a Macy’s promo she was doing here in Cali, she’s beautiful in person, gorgeous I might even say, still ghetto. Russ probably drove her crazy with that eating healthy choice he has being VEGAN and all. I’m not hating but a qualified ghetto beauty queen always has a plan. Have kids get him stuck and find anotha young buk to go share the means from the previous sperm donor with.Russ got took but ain’t no such thing as being halfway took.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    Russ why you mess with gold digger. He helped her out and all she did wah sj!t on him. Got him payin crazy child support but she is already paid. I mean she is like 20 years younger than him anyways. I bet it was a good ride while it lasted.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mexican_mamma/ mexican_mamma

    go head kimora! kimora is the s**t she is a successful mother and she earned every bit of her success now s**t did not work out with baby daddy 1 then go head she found the one that’s gonna make it all good!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SR1G/ SR1G

    I saw a comment where somebody called her a golddigger. Kimora had her own money BEFORE she met RS. HE pursued HER, not the other way around. Watch her biography. She was a successful model in Europe when he saw her at a fashion show and fell in lust with her.

    I didn’t like Kimora when I first started noticing her after she married Russell. But, I started checking out her show and seeing how she is and girlfriend is a BUSINESSWOMAN. They don’t play. She’s strong and she’s opinionated and she’s used to getting her way. But I’m sure her new man can handle her. They look very happy togther, so leave them alone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Baby-Baby/ Baby-Baby

    I noticed when Russell received his BET awards and he had his daughters with him; one of the, must have been the oldest, did not look happy at all and KiKi was not there.

    The kids are confused.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/aledra14/ aledra14

    well more power to the girl hell happiness is truly hard to come by so when you get a chance at it keep it. but a baby and the girls callin him daddy damn what does russell have to say about that. but honestly in public eye i don’t see him with his kids much anyways but hell thats there life really just wish everybody happiness.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Suuave_Mac/ Suuave_Mac

    It sounds like Kimora is moving a little too fast. Instead of thinking about a husband and more kids KIKI needs to focus on her daughters and the family fortune. I understand she has needs but she put those needs on hold by having those beautiful kids. I havent heard anything about marriage counseling or GOD so I cant be sure this new thing is going to last long…

    First of all how the heck she married him. Damn that’s was my soon to be husband oh well. I wish them the both of happiness they look great together. People should just let them be. I mean Russell Simmons got him a new girlfriend that be all on the show of his brother nobody mention that and he is very in love with her. These people are happy let them continue their happiness. But D did make a mistake he shouldn’t been mines.

    A long time ago it was said if you had one drop (which was determined to be one-sixteenth) of black blood in you then you were considered white–and we can all guess who came up with that ridiculous formula. Today, if you are a biracial child your parents get to decide what to put on your birth certificate–it has nothing to do with what color your father is–or they can simply list your race as “other”.

    Congratulations to both Ms. Kimora and Mr. “Amistad”

    Only things I wonder about are: If she’s still LEGALLY married to Russell, then clearly it appears someone doesn’t want to let go and didn’t sign his or her divorce papers.

    The question is who was it?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sistuh777/ sistuh777

    Ha ha ha! First of all, please!
    Some of you bloggers are so
    funny! Kimora is handling her
    business so don’t worry about her. As far as the girls and their new sibling, she will most definitely handle that too. She will also handle her
    new man right along with her ex. Go Kimora. Always, do you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/topazangel71/ topazangel71

    Congratulation on what??
    Another baby or the new MAN in her life. He’s far from stupid He’s had his eye on her for a while! Pre-nup Kimora Pre-nup!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bobbiperk/ bobbiperk

    As the article stated it was a “commitment ceremony” un his native homeland. Her divorce wasn’t finalized until late February-Early March.

    Either way, as long as she’s happy and he’s a good step-father to the girls, things should be alright. Russell’s not so busy chasing yoga instructors and models to not watch out for his girls.
