Kimora Lee Simmons Says She Has No Plans to Hand Primary Custody to Ex Tim Leissner

Kimora Lee Simmons, the fashion mogul and reality‑TV staple, recently opened up about the custody side of her split from former husband Tim Leissner. She’s been candid, saying there’s absolutely no intention on her part to hand over primary custody of their two children.

"We’re focusing on what’s best for the kids," Kimora told reporters, her voice steady but unmistakably protective. "That means keeping the kids’ routine as consistent as possible and making sure they feel loved by both parents, without flipping the whole custody arrangement upside down."

Tim, who was once head of a major investment firm before his legal troubles, has been in the news for a very different set of reasons. Yet, the family drama has taken a decidedly personal turn. Kimora’s statement comes after speculation that Leissner might be pushing for a larger role in day‑to‑day decisions.

She didn’t shy away from admitting that co‑parenting is a “learning curve.” Still, she made it clear that the primary residence will stay with her, at least for now. "We’ll continue to share holidays and special moments, but the kids will live with me most of the time," she added, smiling faintly.

Friends close to the family say the duo has been working through a mediated agreement, aiming for a solution that feels fair. While the courtroom isn’t the arena they hoped to fight in, both parents seem intent on keeping the legal battle out of the children’s lives.

Kimora also hinted that any future changes would only happen if something truly necessitated it—nothing driven by ego or public pressure. "Our kids deserve stability, not drama," she concluded.
