Inside Diddy and Kim Porter’s Relationship as Coparents

Always a family. Diddy and Kim Porter may have ended their on-off romantic relationship in 2007, 11 years ahead of her death, but the pair always put their children first. Us Weekly confirmed in November 2018 that Porter was found dead at the age of 47. “Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter,” Diddy’s rep told Us in a statement at the time. “I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.” LAPD Officer Jeff Lee told Us at the time that they received a call to Porter’s home at 11:38 a.m. on November 16, 2018. “There is a female deceased at the scene,” the officer told Us. “We are sending our homicide detectives over there to find out whether or not foul play was involved.” The musician shared three children with his late ex: son Christian and daughters D’Lila and Jessie. (Diddy is also father of sons Justin and Chance from previous relationships, and Porter was the mother of son Quincy who she shared with ex Al B. Sure!.)

A Forever Bond 

“You know how when two people go their separate ways, most of the time there’s animosity? It’s not like that with us. Sean and I have this bond, this friendship,” Porter told Essence Magazine in 2007. “It’s not about ‘if you’re faithful to me, if I’m being faithful to you.’ We’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his inner most thoughts to and he’s that person for me.”


She added: “He still calls me everyday and we talk. There’s no ill feeling or ‘I can’t stand you, I hate you, don’t call.’ There’s none of that. We have three children together so that’s just not an option. We’re committed to our children even if we couldn’t commit to each other.”

Blended Family 

Diddy started dating Cassie in 2007. While the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper and the “Me & U” singer were on and off for the next 11 years — splitting for good in October 2018 — the hip-hop mogul and Porter still celebrated holidays together with their kids. The exes even hosted a New Year’s Eve bash in Miami together in 2012.
