Who is Cassie Ventura? Husband, Wiki & Net Worth

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 — New York: The high-profile s*x trafficking trial of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially begun. Prosecutors say the 55-year-old music mogul used his fame, power, and team to abuse women for over two decades.

Combs is accused of running drug-fueled sex parties, using violence, and covering up crimes with help from his staff. He has denied all charges.

One of the most important witnesses in the case is his former longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She is expected to testify in court on Tuesday.

Who Is Cassie Ventura?

Cassie Ventura, 38, is a singer, model, and actress. She was born in New London, Connecticut, and started modeling at just 14. In 2004, she met music producer Ryan Leslie, who helped launch her music career. She signed with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records and released her hit single “Me and U” in 2006.

That song led to more success, including a debut album and collaborations with top artists like Lil Wayne and Akon.

Relationship with Diddy

Cassie and Combs began dating in 2007. Their relationship lasted more than a decade, ending in 2018. During that time, Cassie also acted in several films and shows. She appeared in Step Up 2: The Streets (2008) and The Perfect Match (2016). She later guest-starred on the TV show Empire.

But behind the fame, Cassie now says she was suffering in silence.

Abuse Allegations

Cassie filed a lawsuit against Combs in November 2023 under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. In the lawsuit, she accused him of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking during their entire relationship.

On Monday, LAPD Officer Israel Florez testified that he saw Combs physically assault Cassie in a hotel hallway back in 2016. This statement gave jurors a glimpse into the kind of abuse Cassie says she lived through for years.

Life After Diddy

After ending her relationship with Combs, Cassie found love again. She married Alex Fine, her personal trainer, in 2019. The couple now has two daughters and is expecting their third child.

Alex was seen in court on Monday, supporting Cassie as she prepared to take the stand.
