Kimora Lee Simmons Describes Herself as 'Surrogate Mom' to Diddy's Four Kids
In a recent appearance on "Today with Jenna & Friends," fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons referred to herself as a "surrogate mom" to Sean "Diddy" Combs and the late Kim Porter's four children. The label reflects her role in caring for the late rapper's sons, Quincy Brown and King Combs, and twin daughters, D'Lila Combs and Jessie Combs.
Simmons, 50, expressed her devotion to the children, stating, "One of my friends who passed away, Kim Porter, I have all of her kids... Even though some of them are adults." The designer's words emphasize her commitment to providing a loving home for Diddy's children, whom she has been caring for since Porter's passing in 2018.
The music mogul is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted of transportation for prostitution earlier this year. He will be released in June 2028. Despite the challenges posed by his incarceration, Simmons ensures that the children are well-cared for, as she shared during her interview, "I just got off the phone with them."
As part of her caregiving duties, Simmons has built a support network, describing it as a "village of women." She also highlighted the importance of co-parenting, stating, "There's no co-parenting," when discussing her role in raising Diddy's children.
In addition to caring for Diddy's children, Simmons is herself a mother to five kids from previous relationships. Her journey as a single mom has been well-documented on social media and recently featured in her new series, "Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane," which premiered on E!

. And now they're calling Kimora their surrogate mom? That's a lot of responsibility, even if she does seem to be doing a great job. I mean, she has her own life and family to think about too. Is she sure this is sustainable for everyone involved? And what about when Diddy gets out... will the kids still be able to spend time with him on their own terms or will they just be handed over to Kimora again? 
, caring for Diddy's kids on top of her own five from before... I mean, I've seen moms juggling a million things, but this is next level 
. She's got this whole "village of women" thing going on 
and co-parenting situation down pat 
. I'm just glad the kids are in good hands with her 
. Diddy being away in prison kinda makes sense since he's not around to raise them himself... but still, it's Kimora who's shouldering all this responsibility 
.
she's doing an amazing job caring for those little munchkins even tho diddy's in jail right now 
i love how she's built a whole village of women to support her too that's so inspiring! 
. How does that work exactly? Is she still paying their school fees and stuff?
With Simmons taking on a caregiver role for the late Kim Porter's kids, it raises questions about the responsibilities that come with raising children and the blurred lines between parenthood and surrogacy. 
It's heartening to see Simmons building a support network, a "village of women," to help care for Diddy's children, as co-parenting can be an overwhelming task, especially in high-profile cases like this one. 
. and can we talk about how wild it is that Diddy's kids have had to grow up without their actual parents? 
at least Kimora's there for them. btw, I wonder what Kimora's day looks like with 9 kids running around... probably more drama than a Kardashian family reunion 
but kimora's got their backs no matter what
