Sean Combs' daughters left the courtroom twice earlier in the week before not appearing at all the following day.

On May 12, the sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs began in Manhattan federal court - the rapper indicted by a grand jury and arrested in September last year.

The 55-year-old is charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution - the rapper having denied all charges.

Multiple people have called to the stand, including R&B singer and dancer Cassie - real name Casandra Ventura - a former partner of Combs who's detailed allegations of rape and abuse.

Ventura's husband, Alex Fine, has been supporting her showing up to court and on Combs' side, his mother, Janice Combs, and all of his adult children have attended the trial so far.

Combs' children include those he shares with model and actor Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018.

The pair share Christian 'King' Combs, 27, and 18-year-old twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James Combs.

Combs also has an adopted son from Porter's previous relationship with Al B. Sure! named Quincy Taylor Brown, 33.

He also has a 31-year-old son named Justin Dior Combs from his relationship with Misa Hylton, an 18-year-old daughter named Chance Combs from his relationship with Sarah Chapman and a two-year-old daughter named Love Sean Combs from his relationship with Dana Tran.

A source close to the family told CNN the family are 'united' in their support for Combs.

However, during the first day of proceedings, it's reported Combs' daughters left the courtroom twice as testimony was given by a 41-year-old named Daniel Phillip, who alleged he was paid $5,000 to have sex with Ventura while the rapper watched, The Independent reports.

Combs' twin daughters were also reportedly not present at the trial yesterday as a result of upcoming preparations for their school prom - reported by CNN as being set to take place on Saturday.

Who are Diddy's twin daughters?

Combs welcomed the twins in 2006, a year before he and Porter parted ways.

Following Porter's passing, Combs became more involved in his children's lives, telling Essence in April 2019 he used to be a 'part-time' father, but had resolved to be more 'present'.

The twins performed with Combs on stage at the VMAs in 2023 as back-up dancers.

Combs' other children remained in the courtroom, even when the 2016 surveillance footage detailing his assault on then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was played.
