Russell Simmons Divorce
In 2006, it made headlines in the worlds of fashion and hip hop as two of the people at the forefront of both were splitting up. They were big celebrities, used to living a big life, and now, Russell Simmons’ divorce from model Kimora Lee was big news. After eight years of marriage and two daughters later, the hip hop moguls were ending things. “Kimora and I will remain committed parents and caring friends with great love and admiration for each other,” Simmons said at the time of the announcement. “We will also continue to work side by side on a daily basis as partners in all of our business.”

But, for now, it seems like this music mogul has had enough. Russell Simmons’ house in New Jersey is now up for sale.

The two entrepreneurs met when Lee was just 17 years old. She was in her last year of high school and pursuing a modeling career, while the 35 year old Simmons was making his way in the hip hop industry. At six-feet tall, Simmons was immediately captured by Lee when he first saw her on a runway during New York City’s Fashion Week.
