Kimora Lee Simmons is an American entrepreneur, fashion designer, television personality, author, philanthropist, and model. She is also known by her current married name, Kimora Lee Leissner.
She was born to an African–American father and a Korean Japanese mother, who was adopted by an American service man during the Korean war. There is some debate regarding her mother’s ancestry. It has been written that she is of half Korean descent, while others say she that is of fully Japanese ancestry. Kimora has said that her mother is of fully Japanese descent, and was a war refugee who moved to Korea.
Kimora is married to banker Tim Leissner. She has five children, including two with her former husband, record producer Russell Simmons; a son with her former partner, actor and model Djimon Hounsou; and a son with Tim.

Just imagine the world when everyone is the same color. That would be the end of a lot of problems we have today.
Everyone is mixed – this is no such thing as “pure race”. For example, Koreans are mixed peoples of Mongolia and other Altaics. Africans are mixed of other groups as well. All of our racial makeups are constituted of continual admixture – one day, everyone will be beige.
KoreanIsAsKoreanDoes, thanks for the comment, good point about the surname Lee. It definitely isnt Japanese your right. but I think Lee might be an English name as her mother was adopted as a baby and changed her full name to an English name, Joanne Perkins.
If Kimora’s last name is Lee Perkins, she’s Korean and Japanese. No Japanese name is Lee, while both Chinese and Koreans have the last name “Lee.” Other Asians may spell it Le or Li, but Japanese names do not include “Lee.”
