Kimora Lee Simmons filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, Russell Simmons, on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

She cited irreconcilable differences, the Associated Press reports.

She is seeking legal and physical custody of their two children, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki Lee, 5.

The Baby Phat designer, 32 — who is now dating actor Djimon Honsou — also requested that Russell Simmons, 50, be granted "reasonable child visitation ... accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel."

Us Weekly was the first to report on the couple's split in 2006.

Kimora Lee Simmons Traded in for a Younger Model -- Literally

Relatives of model Denise Vasi think that her 48-year-old boyfriend, Russell Simmons, is too old for her and felt the need to share these concerns with the New York Daily News:

Denise's family is well aware that Simmons has a phat enough wallet to have built an empire for Simmons' recently-estranged wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, another model he picked out from the catwalk when she was just 16 years old.

(Simmons' label, Def Jam Records, made $100 million in 1999, and his Phat Farm clothing line earned $140 million in 2004.)

"The economics sound great," our inside source tells us. "But she's 23, and he's nearly 50. He's taking her to these parties and who knows what goes on there. We think this is the wrong direction for her to go in."

Whyâ€™s that? Because she could have actually lived her life twice with one to grow on and still not be as old as he is? Nah, thatâ€™s not creeptastic at all.

But, â€œthe economics sound greatâ€ line is wonderfully crass. We only wish weâ€™d been there right after when the relativeâ€™s pupils and irises morphed into dollar signs and their jaw came rocketing forward like a cash register drawer, hitting the journalist in the face.
