Cassie Ventura has given birth – only days after testifying at the trial of her ex-partner Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The 38-year-old hasn’t confirmed the new arrival herself just yet – but sources who know the singer told NBC News she’s welcomed a baby boy. Plus, it was spoken about in court, as her friend and former stylist Deonte Nash told the trial he last spoke to Ventura ‘after she had the baby’. 

It’s Ventura’s third child with her partner, Alex Fine, who she married in 2019. The pair share two daughters: Frankie Stone Fine who was welcomed in 2019, and their second daughter Sunny Cinco Fine, who entered the world a few years later in 2021. 

Ventura announced her pregnancy three months ago on Instagram, and in a sweet tribute to Alex on Instagram, she later revealed she was carrying a boy. ‘You’ve taken care of me and my heart like no other, you’re hands down the best girl dad and I’m SO excited to see you now become a father to OUR SON,’ she wrote, alongside a carousel of sweet family snaps. 

Only two weeks ago, and while eight months pregnant, Ventura – Diddy’s on/off partner for 11 years – took the stand at his trial. Combs – known by his rap name P Diddy – is facing federal charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, after he was arrested in September last year.

Diddy has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing, saying his sexual relationships were consensual. In November 2024, Ventura sued the rapper for sexual assault and abuse – and while testifying in court, Ventura said the lawsuit was settled for $20million. 

During the trial, Ventura said that – initially – she consented to drug-fuelled ‘freak-offs’, as she was ‘in love and wanted to make him happy’. Later, Ventura cried during the trial, as she recalled how Diddy hit her during freak-offs, saying she felt like ‘dirt’. She also testified Diddy, and male escorts, would urinate on her – which she called ‘too much’ and ‘disgusting’.  

Following her four days of testimony, Ventura and Fine released an emotional joint statement. ‘This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me,’ Ventura’s statement read. ‘I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from the abuse and fear.’

The couple also said they wouldn’t be releasing further statements on the matter, and that they intend to focus on their new arrival. ‘I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest,’ she added. ‘As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.’

‘Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past,’ her husband wrote.

‘I have felt so many things sitting there,’ he continued. ‘I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. So to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not…You did not break the souls of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man.’

Fine and Ventura started dating in 2018, and Ventura told the court how her husband helped her process the alleged abuse which happened while she was with Diddy. In one moment, Ventura became emotional as she recalled how she felt suicidal after Diddy allegedly raped her following their break-up. But, Ventura said, Fine ‘would not let’ her hurt herself. ‘I couldn’t take the pain that I was in anymore, and so I just tried to walk out the front door into traffic and my husband would not let me,’ she told the court. 

In his statement, the 32-year-old said he ‘did not save Cassie, as some have said’. ‘To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself,’ he continued. ‘Cassie saved Cassie. She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her. All I have done is love her as she has loved me.’

His statement very poignantly ended with a tribute to his wife and their son, as he wrote: ‘We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we welcome our son into a world that is now safer because of his mom.’
