While the pair appeared to be inseparable, the romance ultimately fizzled after two years in 2001. She went on to have a whirlwind romance with choreographer Chris Judd, who she married in September 2001 and divorced less than a year later in July 2002.

She said: "I knew what was really going on. He was still in love with me."

Combs and Porter eventually reconciled in 2003 and were together for four more years before they called it quits for good in 2007.

Over the course of their on-off relationship from 1994 to 2007, the pair welcomed three children together – son Christian, 26, and 17-year-old twin daughters Jessie and D'Lila.

Since Combs' arrest on sex trafficking charges, his relationships with J Lo, Porter and Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura – who was just 19-years-old when she began dating the rapper in 2007 – have been heavily scrutinized with many pointing out signs of alleged abuse.

In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Combs alleging he was abusive and forced her into sex trafficking. She further accused Combs of raping her in 2018.

Cassie claimed while dating Combs, he was controlling and forced her into "a drug-fueled lifestyle that kept her complacent and compliant".

Combs denied Cassie's allegations, branding them "offensive and outrageous" but settled the lawsuit just one day after it was filed.

After FBI agents raided Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking probe in March 2024, Cassie issued a statement through her lawyer.

Attorney Douglas Wigdor said: "We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct."

In May, disturbing hotel security footage captured Combs physically assaulting Cassie in 2016, prompting a groveling apology from the rapper to his fans.

Cassie responded with her own statement, in which she expressed gratitude to loved ones and fans while highlight "Domestic Violence is THE issue" and urged the public to believe "victims the first time".
