Kimora & Tim Call It Quits Amid Drama

According to E! Online, Kimora Lee Simmons and her husband Tim Leissner are officially heading for a legal separation. Leissner reportedly signed paperwork to initiate their divorce just two days before starting a two-year prison sentence back in February. He finally filed the documents on April 20, citing “irreconcilable differences” after 12 years of marriage, per PEOPLE. The former Goldman Sachs banker—who pleaded guilty in 2018 to stealing millions from the Malaysian government—married Kimora in March 2014.

Custody, Finances, And Silence

In the filing, Leissner is requesting joint custody of their 11-year-old son, Wolfe, along with spousal support from the Baby Phat founder. He also reportedly asked the court to terminate Kimora’s ability to receive alimony. His attorney confirmed he turned himself in to a federal correctional facility in Pennsylvania on February 6, and records show authorities have scheduled his release for September 2027. Meanwhile, Kimora has yet to publicly respond to the divorce filing, though she previously hinted at changes in her personal life during a December interview, noting that she’s gone through shifts in “jobs, careers… husbands, investments,” adding, “It’s life.”

TBD Separation Date, Assets & Fees Involved

More details are continuing to emerge. In his filing, Tim Leissner reportedly listed the couple’s date of separation as “TBD,” despite signing the documents on February 4—just before turning himself in. Beyond custody and support, he’s also asking Kimora Lee Simmons to cover his attorney fees and is making moves to retain certain assets, including anything acquired before their marriage, as well as gifts, inheritances, and personal items like jewelry.

The paperwork also indicates that additional assets and obligations remain unidentified. Meanwhile, Leissner—sentenced in May 2025 for his role in the 1MDB scandal—previously issued a public apology, expressing regret for his actions as he serves out his sentence, with a projected release date of September 29, 2027.
