The actress and singer from the Bronx began dating the rapper and producer in 1999. By then, P. Diddy was already an influential figure in Hollywood, and Jennifer Lopez’s career was rapidly taking off. Lopez was a regular at Combs’ lavish events, including his infamous white parties.
Their relationship was tumultuous, and in 2001, the stars finally parted ways. Lopez admitted that the breakup was due to Combs’ constant infidelities. Years later, Sean shocked the star of *Maid in Manhattan* when he confessed that he had a specific reason for dating J. Lo. It turned out that he had wanted to make his ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, jealous.
According to Diddy, he believed that the “On the Floor” singer was the perfect match for him. They were both media-savvy, successful, and wealthy. However, at the time, he still had feelings for Porter. “I thought, ‘I’ll try to win Jennifer over, hoping Kim will see that I’m serious and come back to me,’” the musician explained. Kim later admitted that she was well aware of P. Diddy’s feelings for her, even when he was with another woman. “I knew what was really going on. He was still in love with me,” the model and actress said.
Combs and Porter had started dating in 1994. The musician adopted Porter’s son, Quincy, from her marriage to singer Al B. Sure! (Albert Brown). Quincy is now 33 years old. Sean and Kim broke up and got back together several times. In 2003, after his split from J. Lo, they reconciled. They lived together for another four years before permanently separating in 2007.
The couple has three children together: 26-year-old son Christian and 17-year-old twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila. Kim Porter, the star of *Single Ladies*, passed away on November 15, 2018, at the age of 47. Pneumonia was cited as the cause of death. However, there is a conspiracy theory in Hollywood suggesting that Combs may have had a hand in the death of the mother of his children, as she was reportedly planning to write a tell-all memoir about him.
A formal statement against the three-time Grammy winner was filed by his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. However, the rapper was able to settle the scandal in just one day. Later, a hotel hallway recording surfaced, showing Combs viciously attacking Cassie and dragging her by the hair back to her hotel room. The musician later issued a public apology.
Miss Ventura expressed gratitude for the support she received and urged people to believe victims of domestic violence the first time they speak out. Cassie filed another complaint against P. Diddy after FBI agents conducted searches at his homes in Los Angeles and Miami in March. Currently, Combs is under arrest, facing charges of rape, human trafficking for sexual purposes, and other crimes. Over 120 alleged victims are involved in the case.
