Cassie Ventura gives birth to baby boy weeks after testifying: “Her life is now surrounded by love”

Cassie Ventura has welcomed her third child—a baby boy born in a New York hospital, sources confirmed to TMZ and People. The joyful news comes just weeks after the 38-year-old R&B singer and actress testified in the federal sex trafficking trial of her former partner of 11 years, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Ventura was 8½ months pregnant during her four days on the stand—an act of quiet strength that didn’t go unnoticed. For many parents watching, it was a moment that underscored the emotional complexity of healing while raising children: the way past and present often sit side by side in motherhood.

Earlier in May, Ventura’s husband, actor and fitness entrepreneur Alex Fine, released a public statement honoring her courage.

“I did not save Cassie, as some have said. To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie,” he wrote.

“She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her. All I have done is love her as she has loved me. Her life is now surrounded by love, laughter, and our family,” he said in a public statement.

Ventura also released a statement of her own, offering hope to others who may feel alone in their healing:

“I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear,” she said.

This week, that process of healing continued as Ventura and Fine welcomed their baby boy. He joins big sisters Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 3. In February, the couple announced the pregnancy with a tender black-and-white photo shoot. Fine reposted that image to celebrate their son’s arrival, captioning it simply: “Best gift I could ask for.”

For many parents—especially those who’ve had to rebuild while raising little ones—this kind of moment resonates. It reflects the quiet strength so many carry: continuing on after grief, leading with love through uncertainty, and holding space for a future where your children feel safe, seen, and truly held. It’s a reminder that motherhood often means choosing joy in the midst of showing up with softness while holding the weight of your past, and building a safer world for your children than the one you once knew.
