Cassie Welcomes Third Child as Diddy Trial Continues

The singer is now a mother of three only days after testifying against Diddy.

Cassie Ventura and husband Alex Fine welcomed their third child days after the singer testified against her ex Sean “Diddy” Combs, someone close to Ventura told ABC News. Ventura was eight months pregnant when she appeared for her four days of testimony at the New York courthouse two weeks ago, and was rushed to a hospital in the city Tuesday after suddenly going into labor. The source said Ventura and Fine will post an official update on their child in the future. Ventura revealed the new addition to her family on Instagram in February, sharing photos of her, Fine, and their two daughters, Frankie and Sunny. The caption read: “🤰🏽💙 #3” the blue heart prompting many users online to believe she was expecting a son. Following her testimony at the Diddy trial, Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, read a statement on her behalf. It read: “This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me… I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.” Ventura’s testimony covered the abuse she endured during the 11 years she was with the rapper, who is charged with prostitution, sex trafficking, and racketeering.
