Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons Featured Inside "Harper's Bazaar"

Double Academy Award nominee and multiple award nominee/winner Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons are featured in a 4-page spread in the February 2008 edition of Harper's Bazaar ...

The twosome have been recently spotted together ... with Kimora's two children in tow ...

Here are a few snippets from the Harper's Bazaar article ...

Djimon on Kimora: She's the least high-maintenance lady I've ever dated.

Djimon on Kimora's two children (Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons): They're great kids. I take my hat off to Kimora for the way she's carried them along with her business. And Russell as well. It's extremely commendable what they do with the kids.

Kimora on Djimon's Calvin Klein Ad: That ad is hot as hell. And that body is sick. It's really that way.

Kimora on their relationship: He's a reality check for me, and I'm a fabulosity check for him. After my breakup, I thought, I don't need anything. Russell used to tel me, 'You look good, you're wealthy, you're young, you have kids. Screw the world.' And I kind of started to believe that. But now I have someone who has the heart, the soul, and the hotness. Who knows? I could be eating my words later, but I really doubt it. If people were betting, they would bet their good money on Djimon.

Djimon on what attracted him to Kimora: I wanted to find a wonderful persoon to be with, which is the most challenging thing in our business. My first impression has always been the same: that she's a beautiful lady, very capable and intelligent and smart with great family values.
