“The couple is very happy and dedicated to each other one hundred percent,” Simmons’ rep tells Us.

The source tells Us the couple — currently expecting their first child together — went to Africa to meet Hounsou’s family and decided to have the traditional ceremony “since they knew it was a special opportunity to all be together.”Simmons’ daughters with her ex, Russell (whom she finalized her divorce from in January 2009), Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 6, were also present.

“Ming Lee and Aoki call Djimon ‘baba,’ which means a father figure in certain cultures. They all live as one happy family together,” says the source. “Russell respects Djimon and they get along great. He is very happy for her.”
