Amid the ongoing criminal trial against him, the rapper’s ex-girlfriend has built a new life as a wife and mother of two. Her husband has remained a constant source of support throughout the legal battle.
For several years, P. Diddy, real name Sean Combs, and Cassie — born Casandra Ventura — have been the focus of media coverage tied to troubling reports of abuse. Since then, Cassie has moved forward, marrying Alex Fine and starting a new chapter with him.
The singer’s
life has taken a different turn in recent years, with more focus on her family and personal milestones. She met Fine, a personal trainer and wellness coach, at the gym in 2018.
Their connection grew quickly, and marriage was already a topic early on. Not long after they began dating, they found out they were expecting their first child. The couple
married in October 2019
and welcomed their first child, Frankie Fine, that December. Cassie and the
actor
now have two daughters, including their youngest, Sunny Fine.
Their growing family brought moments to celebrate. Two years after getting married, Cassie marked Fine’s birthday with a message on Instagram, paired with a photo of them together.
In the long note, the actress
wrote
, “Happy belated Birthday to MY HUSBAND! It was 2 days ago, but we’ve been together and we celebrated.” She said it brought her great joy to see him become the most amazing father.
The family woman spoke warmly about the small moments — like him reading to their children, dancing with them, and even wearing a toy crown when asked. She also
expressed
:
“There is literally no one else in the world I’d rather navigate through this crazy life with. I love you forever and ever.”
The following year, Cassie continued to share her love publicly by marking their wedding anniversary with another tribute and a photo of the lovebirds together.
“A day late, but had to make sure I showed ALL MY LOVE to this man! My husband!” she
wrote
. Calling Alex her best friend, she
added
, “There’s no one like you in this world.”
Cassie mentioned her husband’s sense of humor, his curiosity about life, and how he kept surprising her. Her love for him grew deeper with time and she playfully noted that he was the only one who could make her laugh so hard she nearly peed her pants.
The next year, the celebrity posted a series of family photos on Instagram, this time focusing on Alex and their children. She
penned
:
“There’s literally nothing like spending this life with my 3 best friends. I have to pinch myself everyday. I love you with the heart, to the moon & back for eternity.”
The Connecticut native
ended
the note with a birthday message for her spouse, “Happy Birthday, Alex! You have my heart forever.” That celebration of family love didn’t end with Cassie — Alex also shared his heartfelt words for her. Later that same year, he posted a touching birthday message to his wife alongside family photos.
“Happy birthday @cassie the greatest Mama to the two most beautiful, kind, and intelligent little girls,”
wrote
Alex. The family man described her as the best wife in the world and his quirky best friend. His love, he noted, stretched to the moon and back, countless times over, with a wish for longer days together.
Their love story, already filled with heartfelt moments and growing family bonds, took another joyful turn not long after. In February 2025, Alex posted a black and white photo showing Cassie with their children gathered around her visible baby bump.
He
captioned it
, “Best gift I could ask for,” crediting the photographer. Cassie posted the same photo along with several others on her page,
captioning it
with a pregnant emoji, a blue heart, and “#3,” signaling that they were expecting their third child.
Just weeks after sharing the news, the model offered another look at this special time in her life. In April 2025, she posted a set of mirror selfies wearing a fitted black dress that highlighted her growing belly. Alongside the photos, she
wrote
, “Mastering Peace.”
While Cassie embraced the calm and joy of family life, her past reemerged in the public eye with new developments. Four years into her marriage, she
took legal action
against Diddy.
The legal filing brought disturbing claims into public view, shedding light on the trauma Cassie said she endured for years. She accused Diddy of
rape and long-term abuse
in a federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan.

According to the court documents, the alleged abuse began in 2005 when she was 19, and included physical violence, forced drug use, and being made to engage in sexual acts with other men while he recorded.
The suit also claimed that in 2018, near the end of their relationship, he raped her in her home. The now 38-year-old
expressed
at the time:
“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story.”

The public figure’s words offered a glimpse into the pain she carried — and why she chose this moment to come forward. She explained that with the deadline for New York’s Adult Survivors Act nearing, she saw it as a
final chance to speak out
about the trauma she had endured, and added that it was something she would continue to recover from for the rest of her life.
Meanwhile, Diddy’s lawyer, Ben Brafman, said his client
vehemently denied
the offensive and outrageous allegations.

In May 2024, Cassie posted a heartfelt message
thanking supporters
for helping her feel safe after years of abuse. She said domestic violence broke her down, but with time, she began to heal — though recovery is ongoing.
The mother of two urged others to believe victims for the first time and reminded those still suffering that they are not alone. According to a source, Alex
has supported Cassie
through many difficult moments since the beginning of their relationship.
That steady support has remained visible through the years, especially during some of her most trying times. On May 12, 2025, Alex
appeared at a Manhattan court
to stand by Cassie as she prepared to deliver a testimony against the rap mogul.
His courtroom appearance came amid serious legal proceedings involving Diddy. The 55-year-old has
pleaded not guilty
to charges that include sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy.

Cassie is one of four alleged victims named by the prosecution, and according to reports, she is the only one expected to testify using her real name.
A year after she filed a lawsuit against Diddy, a troubling video emerged online showing the music mogul
violently attacking
the actress. The release of that video shocked many and brought even more attention to the situation.

Footage taken from several cameras at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, appears to show Diddy during the 2016 incident. In the clip, Diddy, wearing only a towel, appears to hit Cassie, who was his girlfriend and protege at the time.
The video
shows him kicking her
, dragging her across the floor, and throwing a vase in the dancer’s direction before walking off. The hallway clip was just one part of a larger recording that painted an even clearer picture of what took place that day. CNN confirmed the location using public photos of the hotel’s interior.

After the clip went viral, Diddy shared an apology in a video posted to Instagram — later taken down —
saying
, “My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”
As the footage continued to make headlines, Diddy added more to his public statement. He described feeling disgusted by his past actions and mentioned seeking therapy, rehab, and prayer as part of his effort to change. While he did not ask for forgiveness, he spoke of regret.

This came
after previously denying
Cassie’s assault allegations, which were part of a now-settled federal lawsuit she filed in November 2023. Following his statement, her attorney, Meredith Firetog, responded, saying his apology focused more on himself than those he harmed. According to her, he only spoke up after the evidence surfaced, calling his words insincere and desperate.

Cassie’s
journey from public silence to legal action has drawn national attention, with her voice now central in a high-profile case. Her marriage to Alex and the growth of their family mark a clear contrast to the painful years she described.
As she prepares to testify under her real name, her decision shows the seriousness of the allegations and her determination to speak openly. Meanwhile, Diddy continues to deny wrongdoing, facing multiple charges in a case that has yet to reach its final chapter.
