Cassie has reportedly welcomed a new baby into the world after delivering powerful testimony in Sean “Diddy” Comb’s high-profile criminal trial
From the courtroom to the delivery room, Cassie has truly had a whirlwind time, and fans are sending their congratulations and support.
According to TMZ and confirmed by PEOPLE, Cassie gave birth to her third child, a baby boy, with husband Alex Fine on Tuesday, May 27th, at a hospital in New York City. Both mom and baby are reportedly healthy and doing well. This exciting news follows a report that she was rushed to a New York City hospital’s labor and delivery unit.
Cassie, whose full name is Cassie Ventura, first announced her pregnancy back on Wednesday, February 19th, in a sweet Instagram post. She shared black-and-white photos of herself showing off her baby bump, joined by her husband, Alex Fine, 31, and their two daughters, Sunny, 3, and Frankie, 5. “
#3,” she captioned the joyous series.
The images were adorable! In one, Cassie revealed her baby bump while sitting on the back of a couch, sporting an open shirt over a crop top and jeans, with her smiling girls in matching dresses in front of her.
Another close-up shot featured Fine’s hands cradling her stomach, and other photos showed the family posing together, with Frankie and Sunny even kissing her baby bump. Alex Fine, who tied the knot with Cassie in 2019, also posted the same sweet photo on his Instagram, calling it the “Best gift I could ask for” and tagging photographer Jorden Keith. He even dropped a series of heart emojis in his comment section. Plus, Fine shared a Cardi B gif that said, “Bro, I’m five months pregnant! I can’t even breathe,” which possibly hinted at how far along Cassie was at the time.
This new addition to their family comes just weeks after a monumental moment in Cassie’s life: completing her four-day emotional testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial. The Bad Boy Records founder is facing serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
Cassie Ventura, a pivotal witness for the prosecution, made several shocking claims during her testimony, including an accusation that Combs sexually assaulted her in 2018. She spoke about their 11-year relationship, during which she claimed she was forced to engage in “Freak Offs” with male sex workers. Demonstrating that she was pressured into these actions was essential for prosecutors seeking a conviction on the sex trafficking charge. Significantly, Cassie was 8½ months pregnant while giving her testimony, and she also claimed that Combs mistreated her and exerted significant control over her personal affairs. The defense’s cross-examination, which commenced on her third day, sought to depict the “Freak Offs” as consensual.
What an incredibly challenging yet ultimately joyous period for Cassie. We’re sending huge congratulations to Cassie and Alex on their new arrival amidst such a tumultuous time!
