Although Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons announced their split in 2006, the former model didn’t file for divorce until 2008. According to the Daily Mail, Kimora cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and requested full physical and legal custody of their two children. She also asked that Russell’s time with the children be in the presence of their nanny and security personnel. Their divorce was finalized in 2009 and Russell was ordered to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support until their youngest daughter turned 19 and a half years old.

Three years after their breakup, Kimora shared with Larry King that she and Russell were still on good terms. “We’re all friendly, yes. Absolutely,” she stated. However, she didn’t exactly call the divorce amicable. “Obviously when you’re going through something like that, it’s very tough, so I’m sure there were times I probably threw something at him,” she joked. The two tried to get along for the sake of Aoki Lee and Ming Lee, but things took a downhill turn when a lawsuit got in between Russell and Kimora.
