But, Kiara is the official entity of Fluffy. So, officially (but not canon), Fluffy is Kiara at the end of The Lion King. So, in the official movie universe, Simba has one cub. If deny Simba's Pride in your personal canon, Simba still has one cub, "Fluffy".

Kopa and Kiara. I think Kopa died between tlk1 and tlk2

As far as I know, he just has one, Kiara.

i think that simba have 2 cubs, Kiara and Kopa, but Kopa was kill by zira as revenge for the death of Taka or Scar, well i think that happened

Going off of theories, sub-canon/storyboards, and actual canon, Simba has quite a few children.

Theories:
"Fluffy"
Tanabi

Storyboard:
Chaka
Shani
Aisha

Sub-canon:
Kopa

Canon:
Kiara

(I realize that most of these are just name variations and options that were considered, but sometimes people like to make each one into a unique character. I find it interesting, myself.)

There are a lot of theories that can go with all of these, and many of them can be interesting.

I always thought he had just 2, Kopa and Kiara.. But now I'm starting to doubt that..

I find it weird that real lionesses give birth to an average of five cubs every two years yet both Simba and Kiara were the only ones in their litter. Simba should have at least twenty before he dies. Poor guy!

Anyway, I think the list that Lion Prince provided is a pretty good representation. However, I'm confused to how Kopa is unofficial. It is true that is contradictory to SP, but saying he is unofficial gives the impression that Alex Simmons requested to make him and Disney granted his request. I don't think that is how it happened. Disney Publishing policies back in the early 1990s would have been the exact opposite. In fact Grolier Publishing (who published the Six New Adventures) acquired Disney Publishing's assets back in the summer of 1994 in a huge agreement. Source: Hartford Courant. August 1, 1994

I don't know if you've seen the email I uncovered by Tad Stones, but it's a second source to confirm Chaka was indeed a working name.
