Kimora Lee Simmons and Tim Leissner split as legal battles and prison begin
Tim Leissner initiates divorce from Kimora Lee Simmons just days before entering federal prison
After 12 years of marriage, former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner has officially filed for divorce from Kimora Lee Simmons. The move comes at a tumultuous time, as Leissner recently began a two-year prison sentence following a high-profile legal battle involving the Malaysian government. Court documents cite irreconcilable differences as the cause for the split, with Leissner filing the paperwork just 48 hours before surrendering to federal authorities in Pennsylvania.
The filing includes requests for joint custody of their 11-year-old son, Wolf, and remarkably, a request for spousal support from the Baby Phat founder. While Leissner is scheduled for release in late 2027, the legal proceedings for the divorce are just beginning. Kimora Lee Simmons, who has remained largely silent on her husband's legal issues over the years, has yet to publicly address the filing. This update captures the end of a decade-long relationship set against a backdrop of serious legal consequences.
