Model-turned-designer Kimora Lee Simmons is planning to start a family with partner Djimon Hounsou, and she wants to get pregnant as soon as possible.

Just weeks after shooting down claims she is already expecting her first child with the actor, Simmons insists she is now ready to add to her family - she has two children with ex-husband Russell Simmons.

The fashion mogul says, "I would be very proud to have a baby. So it will come soon. "I think about it all the time, and it's something that's a very exciting prospect for me."
