A rep for Kimora Lee Simmons has confirmed her split from husband Russell Simmons, according to People.com. The co-founder of Def Jam Records was 35 when he met the then-17-year-old model Kimora Lee, and the two have since been married for seven years. A statement issued by Russell says, "Kimora and I will remain committed parents and caring friends with great love and admiration for each other. We will also continue to work side by side on a daily basis as partners in all of our business." The statement also says that the couple has been separated "for some time," even though they were living together.
