Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons were in a romantic relationship from 2007 to 2012. They never got married, but they have a son together named Kenzo Lee Hounsou, who was born in May 2009.
In the summer of 2008, Hounsou and Simmons traveled to Hounsou’s home country of Benin, where they had a traditional wedding ceremony. They clarified that the ceremony was not a wedding and used it to declare their commitment to one another in front of Hounsou’s family. They were dressed in traditional attire.
After their relationship ended, they continued to co-parent their son together. Both Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons are public figures in the entertainment industry, with Hounsou being an actor and Simmons being a fashion designer and former model.
