For Kimora Lee Simmons, family is always in fashion.

In fact, aside from modeling, making business deals and managing her clothing line Baby Phat, Kimora considers motherhood her most important job by far.

"I'm really protective," the 50-year-old—who is mom to kids Ming, 25, Aoki, 23, Kenzo, 16, Gary, 16, and Wolfe, 10, in addition to "bonus son" Jayden, 19—exclusively told E! News. "That's something else everybody knows about me, I'm really protective of my kids. Whatever they need, I'm there. Whatever's a problem, I'm there."

But that doesn't mean things can't get a little crazy in the Lee household with six kids of varying ages coming and going.

Now, Kimora is letting fans into her family's fabulous world on the new E! series Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane, premiering Dec. 2.

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

Celeb Kids Who Model

As Ming and Aoki are following in their mother's footsteps as globe-trotting models, high-schoolers Kenzo and Gary are star athletes. But no matter where life takes them, the brood remains tight knit.

"They’re very close," Kimora gushed. "They definitely coach each other on life—good grades, good behavior, you’re not an a--hole, you’re well-behaved, you’re polite, you’re kind."

And while Kimora is certainly no stranger to opening up her life to the reality TV cameras—her original E! series Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane ended almost 15 years ago—the kids took a little convincing this time around.

"They were excited, but I had to bribe them," the self-dubbed "unofficial momager" admitted to E!. "Sports car and fancy stuff to wear. It cost me more to do this production. My girls got paid more than everybody else."

At the end of the day, Kimora noted, "I want them to be happy. I want them to be well-adjusted. I want all the best things for them."

Keep reading for a closer look at Kimora's blended family ahead of the debut of Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane, premiering Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. on E!.
