Cassie Ventura has given birth to her third child following an emotional testimony in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial.
Combs is currently on trial after being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion in 2024.
The rapper was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, last September, though he has maintained his innocence and has denied all the charges against him.
His ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura took to the stand to testify earlier this month, where she detailed her experience of the alleged 'freak off' parties and the abuse she claims to have suffered at the hands of Combs.

They met in 2005 when he was 37 and she was 19, having an on-and-off relationship between 2007 and 2018.
A heavily pregnant Ventura - who spent four days on the witness stand - burst into tears when asked why she'd decided to testify in the case.
"I can't carry this anymore," she told the court, as per Sky News. "I can't carry the shame, the guilt, the way he treated people like they were disposable."
Amid all of that, Ventura has been expecting her third child, with sources confirming to People on Tuesday (May 27) that she had been taken to a New York City hospital's labor and delivery unit.
Now, Ventura has given birth to her third child with her husband, Alex Fine, just weeks after completing her four-day testimony in Combs' trial.
Ventura met personal trainer Fine in a gym back in 2018.
Soon after announcing they were an item in December of that year, the R&B singer confirmed they were expecting their first child together.
And not long after that, Fine got down on one knee and proposed.
"I knew that Alex was designing a ring, but I honestly wasn’t expecting a super elaborate proposal because we already had the wedding date set, but he planned such a beautiful experience for me," Ventura previously told Vogue.
The pair tied the knot in August 2019, less than a year after they went public with their relationship.
"I felt really relaxed during the ceremony," Ventura added to Vogue. "As soon as I saw Alex, any nerves that I did have went away and I just couldn’t stop smiling."
The couple confirmed back in February they were expecting their third child.
"There aren’t words to describe how grateful I am that I get to do this life with you! The laughter and pure joy that I get to experience with you is beyond any of my dreams and manifestations," Ventura wrote on Instagram.
