Sean “Diddy” Combs, a figure with as many children as aliases, shares seven children — Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, twins D’Lila and Jessie, and Love Sean — with four different women. Although the rapper, songwriter, and record executive has never married, he deeply values family, a principle rooted in his upbringing by his mother following his father’s death in 1972. Diddy excelled academically and as a leader at Howard University, where he studied business administration before leaving to start his career at Uptown Records in the early 1990s.
Since his early days in the industry, Diddy has released several albums, founded Bad Boy Records, launched the careers of stars like Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey, and appeared in numerous films and TV shows. He’s known by many nicknames over his career, including Puffy, P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, and Love. At the VMAs in September 2023, his children Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, and Jessie joined him as Diddy received the Global Icon Award.
Currently, Diddy faces several serious allegations including sexual assault and sex trafficking. In March 2024, federal agents raided his Los Angeles home as part of the investigation, an event that saw his sons Justin and Christian handcuffed outside. New allegations surfaced in early April 2024 when Christian was accused in a legal complaint of sexual assault on Diddy’s yacht.

He’s released music, including collaborations with his father and manages his sisters’ careers.

Diddy's High-Profile Relationships: From Jennifer Lopez to Cassie
Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has been romantically linked with several celebrities throughout his illustrious career since the 1990s. Known for his hit “I’ll Be Missing You,” Diddy has been connected with stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Cassie. His most enduring relationship was with Kim Porter, with whom he began dating in the 1990s until their final breakup in 2007. Diddy and Porter, who passed away in 2018, shared four children. Additionally, Diddy has a son, Justin, with fashion designer Misa Hylton, and a daughter, Chance, with Sarah Chapman. In 2022, Diddy announced the arrival of his seventh child, Love, with Dana Tran.
In a dramatic turn of events in November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of rape and sex trafficking that she claimed persisted throughout their ten-year relationship. In her lawsuit, Cassie described enduring a “cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” and alleged that Diddy raped her when she attempted to permanently end their relationship in 2018. “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, to stand up for myself, and to help other women who endure violence and abuse in their relationships,” she stated. The urgency to speak out was partly due to the impending expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act.
Diddy’s attorney, Ben Brafman, refuted the allegations, labeling them as “offensive and outrageous.” Shortly thereafter, Diddy and Cassie reached a settlement that resolved the claims to their “mutual satisfaction.” Cassie expressed relief at the resolution, stating, “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control over. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support during this time.
