The “Me & U” singer shares frequent glimpses of her loving family on social media. Last June, she posted a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to Fine featuring a video of the wellness consultant and personal trainer pushing their daughters in a double stroller along the coast. “There is just no one like you. I love you [Alex Fine]. Happy Father’s Day!!” she wrote in the caption.

The federal trial against Combs began on May 5 after a grand jury indictment led to his

arrest in Manhattan

last September. Combs and members of his enterprise stand trial for sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Cassie first took the witness stand on May 13 while eight months pregnant, and

gave emotional testimony

over four grueling days to his physical abuse against her, and the origin of the disgraced mogul’s notorious “freak offs.”

Over the course of their 10-year relationship, Cassie testified that Combs became increasingly dangerous, taking control of her life and career and instigating “violent arguments [that] usually resulted in physical abuse and dragging… he would mash my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me.”

Cassie initiated legal proceedings against Combs long before this month’s federal criminal trial, when in 2023 she

filed a suit

accusing him of rape, physical abuse, and coercive control. “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 said in a statement shared at the time of filing.
