NEED TO KNOW
- Cassie has been married to personal trainer Alex Fine since 2019
- The couple share two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, and are currently expecting their third child
- In May 2025, the singer took the witness stand at Diddy’s federal criminal trial
Casandra “Cassie” Ventura is focusing on her family.
The “Me & U” singer — who is considered the prosecution’s star witness in ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial — started testifying on May 13 in New York City. While on the witness stand, she discussed her decade-long relationship with Diddy, going into graphic detail about the alleged abuse she experienced at his hands, such as alleged forced sexual encounters and an alleged brutal assault.
Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, whom she married in 2019, was seen supporting his wife in the courtroom. The couple share two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, and are expecting their third child — a boy.
Following her split from Diddy in 2018, Cassie filed a lawsuit against the rap mogul in November 2023, alleging he raped and sexually trafficked her. The exes reached a settlement within 24 hours.
Cassie’s lawsuit created a domino effect, resulting in several additional lawsuits against Diddy and a federal investigation into the allegations. The rapper was arrested in September 2024 and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
From her wedding to testifying in Diddy’s federal trial, here’s everything to know about where Cassie is now.

Cassie married personal trainer Alex Fine in August 2019 in an intimate Malibu, Calif., ceremony.
Since then, the “Long Way 2 Go” singer has used social media to document her and Alex’s romance.
“There aren’t words to describe how grateful I am that I get to do this life with you!” Cassie wrote on Instagram in March 2025 in honor of Fine’s birthday.
She continued, “The laughter and pure joy that I get to experience with you is beyond any of my dreams and manifestations. You’ve taken care of me and my heart like no other.”

Four months after Cassie and Fine tied the knot, they welcomed their first child, daughter Frankie, in December 2019. The couple’s second child, daughter Sunny, arrived in March 2021.
Cassie frequently praises Fine’s parenting on social media, sharing peeks into his girl-dad duties — which include everything from princess dress-up sessions and Spice Girls dance parties to skating lessons and tropical family vacations, per her Instagram.
“There is just no one like you. I love you @alexfine44 Happy Father’s Day!!” the singer wrote on Instagram in June 2024.
Fine has also reciprocated the praise on Instagram, writing on Mother’s Day 2024 that Cassie was “the best mama.”
The singer and her husband are currently expecting their third child, who will be their first baby boy.

In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that the “Last Night” rapper kept her in a 10-year “cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking.” She also claimed that after she tried to leave Diddy in September 2018, he raped her.
At the time, Diddy’s then-lawyer Ben Brafman denied the allegations to PEOPLE, calling them “offensive and outrageous.”
The day after the lawsuit was filed, it was settled “to resolve this matter amicably,” as Cassie said in a statement at the time.
In May 2024, CNN released video footage from 2016 of the rapper attacking the singer in a Los Angeles hotel.
Fine came to his wife’s defense following the leak of the hotel surveillance video, writing on Instagram, “Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men, violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, your friends, and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard. Men who hurt women hate women.”

Called by the prosecution, Cassie — who is eight months pregnant, per the BBC — took the witness stand at Diddy’s criminal trial in May 2025.
In her testimony, Cassie claimed that Diddy “controlled” her life and forced her to participate in “Freak Offs” — lengthy sexual performances that allegedly involved baby oil and escorts — under the influence of drugs.
“The longest was 4 days or even more with breaks,” Cassie told the court. “Then I was recovering from the drugs, dehydration — just trying to stay awake all the time.”
She also claimed that Diddy taped the “Freak Offs” and kept them as blackmail.
