Watch: Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane - Official Trailer

She's baaack—and more fab than ever.

Kimora Lee Simmons officially returns to E! with the official trailer for her new family reality series Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane.

"It's been 15 years since you last saw me and my family," the supermodel-turned-mogul—who previously starred on E!'s '00s hit Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane—announced in the Nov. 4 first look. "A lot has changed."

For instance, "I have more businesses," the Baby Phat founder continued, adding, "I'm the mom, the dad, I'm the president, the CFO."

Kimora has also expanded her family since her last reality TV venture.

Between dealing with the whims of her supermodel daughters Ming, 25, and Aoki, 22, cheering on her 15-year-old son Kenzo and 15-year-old son Gary during high school football games, celebrating major milestones with her youngest Wolfe, 10, and looking after her "bonus son" Jayden, Kimora’s world is even crazier than ever before.

"It's like The Brady Bunch," she noted in the teaser, "but with no husband."

Of course, Kimora is happy to pass along her extensive modeling knowledge to her two oldest mini-mes as the girls make names for themselves in the fashion world.

As the 50-year-old raved, "It means so much to me that my girls work with me."

Meanwhile, "little princess" Ming quipped in the trailer, "My mom is definitely a momager," before adding, "She's like Superwoman."

E!

As for the boys, Kimora shared, "Kenzo and Gary want to be independent and grown."

But with so many opinions under one enormous roof, Kimora still rules the roost.

"If mam ain't happy," she quipped in the teaser, "ain't nobody happy."

Check out all the family fun and fabulosity—and more iconic one-liners from Kimora—in the trailer above. And keep reading to get more familiar with Kimora's famous family. 

Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane premieres Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 10 p.m. on E!.

Kimora Lee Simmons

In Kimora Lee Simmons' house, she's the mom, the dad, the president and the CFO.

"It's like The Brady Bunch," the runway fixture turned Baby Phat mogul joked of her blended family of seven in the Back in the Fab Lane trailer, "but with no husband."

And when it comes to her crew—she shares daughters Ming and Aoki with former husband Russell Simmons, son Kenzo with ex Djimon Hounsou, son Wolfe with estranged husband Tim Leissner, as well as son Gary and "bonus son" Jayden—"I'm really protective," Kimora told E! News in 2025. "Whatever they need, I'm there. Whatever's a problem, I'm there."

Ming Lee

Ming—the eldest of five siblings—was born on Jan. 21, 2000 to Kimora and her then-husband, hip hop music legend Russell Simmons.

Ming attended NYU and is currently following in her mom's footsteps by pursuing a career in modeling.

"I grew up on the runway, walking with my mom and sister at the end of every Baby Phat show during fashion week in New York," the founder of bodycare brand Boulangerie Beauty told W Magazine in October 2017. "I've been in ads with my mom and sister since I was 2 years old. I'm only now realizing how uncommon that is and I'm deeply appreciative of those experiences."

Aoki Lee

Kimora and Russell welcomed youngest daughter Aoki on Aug. 16, 2002.

In addition to modeling, Aoki has proved herself to be quite the intellectual. She was accepted to Harvard at just 16 and graduated from the prestigious university in 2023.

"I feel grateful, proud and relieved — in that order!" Aoki told People at the time. "It's a surreal feeling to be done with something that was such a huge part of my life. Now, like every other graduate, I'm on to the next chapter."

 

Kenzo

Kimora and former partner Djimon Hounsou are parents to Kenzo, born May 30, 2009, his name being "third and wise" in Japanese, as Kimora has shared.

Now a teenager and towering over his parents at 6-foot-9, Kenzo is a dual threat: A standout athlete on his high school's varsity basketball team, he also starred in a modeling campaign for clothing brand Eve.

Gary

With so much love to give, Kimora had been pondering adoption "for many years," she revealed to Us Weekly. And she was able to bring then-10-year-old Gary into the fold in 2020.

"We're a big group, a loud group," she explained to Us of the high school football player. "Everyone’s always screaming to me, 'Mom, mom help me do this, do that' all the time. 'Mom, mom, mom.' So he, in that sense,  has blended right in."

Wolfe

Kimora welcomed her youngest, known as "Wolfie", into the pack on April 10, 2015. 

"I can’t believe my BABY is 10!!!" she wrote in a 2025 Instagram tribute to her son with estranged husband Tim. "You make me so proud every single day, my smart, funny, silly boy!"

Jayden

While not Kimora's biological son, Kimora acts as mama to "bonus son" Jayden. Despite her already sizable brood, she explained during a December 2025 appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends that she serves as a "surrogate mom" to several other children.

"I have my kids, and then I have kids on the side," Kimora noted. "I'm a lot of people's mom."
