Cassie gives birth to third child days after testifying at P Diddy trial
Long Way 2 Go singer Cassie Ventura, who is married to Alex Fine, has welcomed her third child. Cassie already shares daughters Frankie, five, and Sunny, four, with her husband
Cassie Ventura has welcomed her third child with husband Alex Fine not long after testifying at Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' high-profile trial. Cassie shares daughters Frankie, five, and Sunny, four, with her husband Alex, with them announcing they were expecting a son in a post shared in February.
The news has since been announced that Cassie has welcomed her third child, with sources close to the star claiming she gave birth on Tuesday in a New York City hospital. It's understood mother and baby are doing well, despite the tot arriving slightly earlier than planned, TMZ have reported.
The Long Way 2 Go singer had shared professional black-and-white shots of her posing with her family while showing off her baby bump. In one snap, her two daughters kissed her bump while another showed Alex's hands on her belly. She simply captioned the post with a pregnant woman emoji and added the hashtag: "#3". The likes of Karrueche Tran, Lauren London, Vanderpump Rules' Kristen Doute, and Ciara shared their excitement in the comment section at the time.
On May 27, it was revealed she was rushed to a New York hospital after going into labour. A source told TMZ that Cassie was in labour and in the delivery unit, having been around eight months pregnant during her testimony in the trial.
Her ex-partner, Diddy, is facing a number of serious charges - including racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He denies all allegations against him.
Cassie, who was pregnant with her third child while testifying, took to the stand earlier this month, and made some bombshell claims about the disgraced rapper.
After testifying in the trial, Cassie's lawyer - Doug Wigdor - released a statement on her behalf.
Cassie's statement read: "This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me.
"For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget. I want to thank my family and my advocates for their unwavering support, and I'm grateful for all the kindness and encouragement that I have received.
"I'm glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family."

The Dance Moms star, 22, struck up a romance with the former Love Island contestant, 32, on the British TV series Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and revealed that she is missing him after returning to the US following a two-week stay at his home in the UK.

She told The Guardian: 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' The former Nickelodeon star also rubbished claims that her romance with Chris was just a 'PR stunt.' 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now,' she continued. 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' However, she admitted she can understand why others are intrigued by her and Chris being together. 'People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop,' she said. 'I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them.'

I've obviously felt like that before, but never around one single person.' More Trending It comes after JoJo clarified her sexuality after previously coming out as a lesbian, and then describing herself as Queer while in the Big Brother house. 'I think the most beautiful term now is queer,' JoJo told E! News. 'I think queer is an umbrella of, 'Look, I'm just me.' 'And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love is love. And that goes both ways.' The Karma hitmaker added: 'There's loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don't even know exist yet.' Got a story?
