Kimora Lee Simmons wants to drop Russell’s last name

Kimora Lee Simmons Looks like she wants to simplify her life… because she’s looking to officially drop the last names of a few of her exes, including Russell Simmons.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Kimora filed paperwork to change her name from Kimora Lee Simmons-Leissner to Kimora Lee.

The reasoning… Kimora says she wants the change for “consolidation of records and names used in different documents.”

Kimora married Russell in 1998…they divorced in 2009, but she kept Simmons as her last name. She got married Tim Leissner in 2014 and apparently joined her last name with Simmons to become Kimora Lee Simmons-Leissner. Kimora and Tim separated in 2022.

Kimora was born Kimora Lee Perkins in St. Louis… but it seems she doesn’t want to move back there and is instead looking to shorten her name to Kimora Lee.

Sources close to the matter tell TMZ… Kimora has been on her own foundation for decades.

If her wish comes true, Kimora will have her fourth legal name.
