Cassie Ventura Announces Pregnancy Amid Diddy Lawsuit Settlement

LOS ANGELES, CA — Cassie Ventura, the 38-year-old singer and songwriter, announced on Wednesday that she is expecting her third child with husband Alex Fine. The reveal came via a heartfelt post on Instagram, where Cassie shared black-and-white photos showing her baby bump alongside their two daughters, Frankie and Sunny.

The images featured Cassie, who appeared joyful as she held hands with her daughters, aged 5 and 3, respectively. In the serene photo series, Fine also joined, tenderly cradling Cassie’s growing belly. The caption accompanied with a blue heart emoji hinted at a potential boy in the family: “#3.”

Cassie’s pregnancy announcement follows her recent settlement of a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs. In November 2023, she filed a lawsuit accusing the music mogul of rape and physical abuse during their decade-long tumultuous relationship, which spanned from 2007 to 2018. The lawsuit prompted a wave of discussions about domestic abuse.

“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” Cassie stated at the time of filing. The case was settled less than 24 hours after it was filed.

While Diddy denied any wrongdoing, subsequent leaked video footage in May 2024 raised concerns. The rapper, currently facing multiple legal challenges, denied all allegations against him spanning from sexual assault to sex trafficking. A statement from Diddy’s attorney emphasized that settling the lawsuit did not equate to an admission of guilt.

In the wake of her announcement, many of Cassie’s fans and followers took to social media to express their excitement and congratulations. Actress Shay Mitchell enthusiastically remarked, “OMGGGGGGGG!!!!! CONGRATS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

Cassie and Fine, who began dating in 2018, tied the knot in August 2019. They welcomed their first daughter, Frankie, just months later in December and their second daughter, Sunny, in March 2021. The couple has been open about their relationship journey, including Fine’s proposal made public in most of their announcements through Instagram.

Individuals from varying backgrounds praised Cassie’s resilience and growth on social media, with many expressing their happiness for her new beginning. One follower stated, “You deserve this and so much more. GOD has his hands wrapped around you and your beautiful family.” Another commented, “And she lived happily ever after.”
