Baby Phat CEO and reality show star Kimora Lee Simmons sent a couple of tweets on Friday, announcing to her followers that she was in labor. She even shared a TwitPic taken of the fashion model from her hospital bed.

The first tweet on Friday announced, “It’s time!! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!! A while later she updated, “Having contractions now! Ooo-wee! It’s like WHOA! Love & Light, KLS.”

That was the end of her narrative and some sixteen hows later, she and partner Djimon Hounsou, an Oscar-nominated actor and model, welcomed a baby son. The child was born Saturday morning, May 30th.

Kimora was married to Russell Simmons and they share custody of 9-year-old Ming Lee and 6-year-old Aoki Lee. Kimora filed for divorce in March 2007, when she and Hounsou began a relationship. She and her daughters have starred on Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane on The Style Network since 2007.

We fully expect that Kimora will tweet more baby details and announce the newborns name soon.

Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou Married

The star of Kimora; Life in the Fab Lane and creative director for Phat Fashions, Kimora Lee Simmons and boyfriend, actor and model Djimon Hounsou are married.

Although their union has yet to be made official in the U.S., the couple who are expecting a child together this year, had a wedding ceremony in Djimon’s native town Benin, Africa over the summer.

Because Kimora’s divorce from Russell Simmons was yet to be finalized, they were not able to make it official in the U.S. As of January, Russell and Kimora’s divorce has been finalized.

Not to be outdone, Kimora went all out with the wedding ceremony. They both wore the traditional dashikis and Africian drums. They danced and they even had their own hut.

Kimora’s daughters with Russell, Aoki and Ming were along for the ceremony and sources say that they were very confused. While Aoki slept through the vows, Ming cried.

We have to wonder when and if their union will be finalized in the U.S. Will Kimora really want to give up the alimony payments she is receiving from Russell?

Kimora Lee Simmons never stops building her empire. Her latest project was unveiled yesterday – her new perfume called Fabulosity.

Simmons spoke with People magazine and gushed about her boyfriend Djimon Hounsou and how HUGE he is. On a billboard in Hong Kong – that is. Hounsou is not only a great actor but a hot model for Calvin Klein underwear.

Kimora, who recently lost her 18 year old dog Zoe, said that she has taken the time to grieve and explained how she can keep Zoe’s memory with her:

“There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones. They make diamonds from a little of the carbon from the ash, so I might do that. I might turn her into a diamond.”

Keep living large Kimora – we think you give fabulous a good name!
