Kimora Lee Simmons considers raising children the biggest challenge

Fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons is a busy woman.  Not only does she run the Baby Phat and Phat Farm lines, but she is a mother to daughters Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 5 ½.  In a new interview with TV Guide, the 32-year-old was asked which job is the hardest.  She replied,

It’s definitely harder raising the children. I want them to grow up to be well-rounded, grounded, loving, caring, sensitive individuals. It’s the single biggest challenge of my life. My work — which comes after my children — is like a child as well, so it’s like I have three kids.

Ming and Aoki’s father is Russell Simmons.

Love her show. I recognize the outfits for Ming and Aoki. Wonder if Kimora is going to have a baby soon.

All that Kimora says is good and all, but the little one Aoki is such a brat on the show. Ming is such a sweetheart, I like her, the little one I don’t care too much for.

dawn- That picture is actually from a few months ago (I believe it was first posted here on CBB in either February or March). Pregnancy rumors HAVE been swirling around Kimora for the past few months, but last month she denied that she’s expecting (although she later went on to say that she does want another baby soon). Of course, that doesn’t mean she definently isn’t expecting.

However, Kimora has also apparently said in the past that she always has a bit of a belly (Jennifer Garner has said pretty much the same thing. In her case, she admits she still has a little bit of leftover baby belly from Violet), and that clothes don’t always fit her just right. Therefore, it could very well be that she honestly isn’t pregnant. It might very well be a combination of that belly she says she always has and that pesky “time of the month” bloat.
