Former Simmons clan member Djimon Hounsou is sputtering sour grapes these days. As we all know his fairytale affair to former model Kimmora Lee Simmons is over… but not before they spawned a lovechild.

Well these days it seems the suave African actor is totally against unions of the ‘matrimonial’ persuasion and the phrase?‘Give Us Free!’ means something totally different in Hounsou’s vocabulary.

In fact, the Amistad actor believes that ‘being free’ is the key to keeping relationships alive… that’s if you believe his rants while promoting his new film “Baggage Claim.

Details below…

Here’s how Djimon feels about marriage these days…

The idea of marrying somebody can actually ruin the union.

Some people are happily together for decades and they get this fantasy idea to go and get married when it?s just about papers basically?eventually it just goes sour.

They say… ?the things you do to get a man are the same things you should do to “keep” him. And most of you know that things can change when the ‘honeymoon’ phase is over.

Whether marriage is the spiritual union of two souls or is all about the ‘papers’ is purely subjective… but it’s my personal opinion that our sad society has ruined the sanctity of ?’marriage’ by encouraging one parent households and saluting ‘baby mama drama’.

But maybe that’s just me…

What do you think?

Does Hounsou have a point? Does marriage ruin relationships?
