Diddy's former partner, Cassie Ventura, welcomes third child amidst her recent testimony in a sex trafficking trial.
Cassie Ventura welcomed her third child, a son, with husband Alex Fine on Tuesday in New York City, just days after concluding her testimony in the sex trafficking trial of her ex-partner, Sean Combs, also known as Diddy.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed that the baby arrived slightly ahead of schedule, and both mother and child are healthy and thriving. This new addition marks the first son for Ventura and Fine, who share daughters Frankie, five, and Sunny, four.
Ventura testified in Combs' trial earlier this month, detailing years of alleged physical and psychological abuse, as well as depraved sexual acts. She concluded her four-day testimony on May 16, just eleven days before going into labor.
The trial - which began in late April - revolves around allegations that Combs engaged in racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his defense team has argued that the alleged victims willingly participated in threesomes and other sexual acts.
Controversy surrounding Combs first erupted in late 2023 when he settled a sex abuse case with Ventura for a reported $30 million. In March 2024, multiple properties linked to Combs were raided, and he was arrested in September of the same year. The release of a devastating video showing an alleged beating by Combs in a hotel corridor in Los Angeles in 2016 further escalated the scandal.
Prosecutors contend that Combs used various means, including blackmail and violence, to silence his alleged victims. One allegation involves 'Freak Offs,' group sexual exhibitions involving multiple participants.
In response to Ventura's allegations, a male escort who participated in Combs' infamous 'freak off' parties testified about being pressured into participating in unprotected sex with strangers at the rapper's behest. The defense, however, sought to portray Ventura as a willing participant in Combs' sexual lifestyle.
Diddy's legal team recently requested a mistrial after the prosecution seemingly suggested that someone in the court destroyed evidence from an arson case. The judge denied this motion, maintaining control over the high-profile proceedings.
As the trial continues, the public awaits the verdict on whether Combs will be found guilty and face the potential consequences of his alleged actions.
