Djimon Hounsou 'is welcome to visit' son Kenzo... after complaining he spent Father's Day alone
Two days after Shazam! star Djimon Hounsou complained he couldn't remember the last time he saw his 10-year-old son Kenzo, sources close to his ex-partner Kimora Lee Simmons are refuting the claim.
'He had every opportunity to make Father's Day plans, but simply didn't,' an insider clarified to TMZ on Wednesday.
'Kimora has an open door policy when it comes to visitation. She encourages the whole fam coming together as often as possible - holidays, birthdays, etc. - but Djimon hardly ever takes her up on it...Djimon doesn't seem himself lately, and it's starting to play out in public.'
