Cassie is ready to move on one year after she testified against ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“Cassie is doing really well and prefers a low-key life out of the spotlight now,” a source close to the R&B singer exclusively tells Us Weekly.
In May 2025, a heavily pregnant Cassie, 39, spent four days on the witness stand, testifying against Diddy, 56, in his sex trafficking and racketeering trial. In court, the singer claimed that the rapper physically and sexually abused her throughout their on-again, off-again relationship from 2007 to 2018. Diddy has denied the allegations.
“I don’t hate him,” she said on the stand. “I have love for the past, and what it was.”
Diddy was ultimately found guilty of transportation for prostitution and sentenced to serve just over four years in prison. His legal team has attempted to appeal the conviction.
Cassie, meanwhile, welcomed her third child, a son, with husband Alex Fine two weeks after her testimony. Cassie and Fine, 33, who tied the knot in 2019, also share daughters Frankie, 6, and Sunny, 5.
“It was emotionally draining for her to testify in Diddy’s trial, and she is glad that chapter is behind her,” the source continues.
The insider says that although it has been “healing” for Cassie to know that Diddy is in prison, she also has “anxious feelings” knowing that he will eventually be released.
“She has to work through those emotions every day,” the source adds. “What she went through was so traumatic, and she is still continuously getting therapy and living with the trauma. It is something she has to work on every day.”
As for Cassie’s husband, the insider says Fine is “the best partner for her and has been extremely supportive through it all.”
“She credits him for getting her through the darkest of days,” the source notes.
Overall, Cassie is “living a very ‘normal’ life now and [is] focused on family, routines and being present, and that’s been really grounding and healing for her.”
“Cassie wants nothing other than to be a good example for her kids, especially the girls,” the source concludes. “At the end of the day, her biggest priority is her kids. She wants to be a strong, healthy example for them and show them what it looks like to choose yourself, set boundaries and move forward even after really difficult experiences. That’s what’s driving her now more than anything.”
Cassie has also made a major move with her family, according to a TMZ report from Tuesday, June 2. Court documents obtained by the outlet showed that the dancer filed a declaration in May amid her lawsuit with male escort Clayton Howard in which she stated that she resides “outside of the United States” and does “not intend to move back to the United States.”
She reportedly went on to note, “I am a citizen of the United States. I am not a resident of the State of California.” (Last year, Howard accused Cassie of aborting his child and giving him an STD, which Cassie has denied.)
