17 september 2024 в 21:28
Here you see, Diddy — that’s my nickname. Lav — that’s my real name. I just changed my name to Lav," said the man born Sean Combs, during his latest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2022. «Sean Lav Combs, that’s what’s written on my driver’s license, that’s my official name, Lav». Although the rapper was recently arrested in New York on Monday, September 16, and charged with running a criminal organization, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution, the hip-hop icon and liquor connoisseur has had a life full of romance and sensuality, including a long list of women over the years. While Kim Porter will always hold a special place in Diddy’s heart, he has been romantically linked to other famous women such as Jennifer Lopez, Lori Harvey, Yung Miami, and others.
However, apparently, his dating history has not been without drama. In November 2023, Cassie accused the rapper of a series of alleged crimes, including rape and other abuses. Although the case, reportedly, was settled, Diddy was accused of sexual assault by several women and was arrested by federal agents in September 2024, following raids on his homes in March of the same year. Here’s what you need to know about each of his most notable romantic relationships.
Sean Combs began dating Kim Porter in 1994. «The first time I saw her, she was in the studio with her ex-boyfriend», - Diddy told Essence magazine, referring to singer Al B. Sure, the father of Kim’s eldest child, Quincy. «I wasn’t trying to hit on her or anything like that, but I admired her — her lips, her eyes, her mouth, her figure, her energy — and I thought, 'I wish I had a girl like her'».
«She kind of annoyed me», - he told Essence. «She wasn’t like New York girls. She was bohemian, mixed with Georgia peach hospitality. I got the idea that she would like to do things like walk barefoot in the grass. I didn’t think I could make her love me. She was smooth, you know, like ice. She’s calm and collected and thinks before she speaks. You meet a lot of young ladies, and they just don’t do that. Kim was never pushy; she was always in control».
While Kim was in control, Diddy was not always in control of his love. Kim and Diddy broke up in 1999 when he started dating Jennifer Lopez. They rekindled their love in 2003 before finally breaking up in 2007.
During their time together, Diddy and Kim started a family. They welcomed Christian «King» Combs in 1998 and twins D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs in 2006. Diddy also helped raise Quincy, eventually adopting the boy as his son.
Unfortunately, Kim passed away in 2018 at the age of 46. She died in her sleep from lobar pneumonia.
Misa Hylton-Brim — a designer and stylist credited with creating incredible looks from the 1990s, according to Capital XTRA. She is also known as Diddy’s senior girlfriend and the mother of his son Justin Combs. Misa and Diddy welcomed Justin in 1993. Since then, they have been raising their son together.
«Kim, for the past 20 years, we have raised our children together, my mind cannot grasp the fact that you are no longer here», - Misa wrote after Porter’s death, according to PEOPLE. «Thank you for being a second mother to Justin and for loving Nico and Madison just as much», - she added, referring to her children from other relationships.
Diddy had a brief romance with Sarah Chapman in the early 2000s. It was enough for them to welcome a daughter, Chance Combs, who was born shortly before the twins D’Lila and Jessie. The romance did not last much longer after Chance’s birth, although Sarah seemed to harbor no ill intentions. When Kim Porter passed away, she also mourned the loss.
«Rest in peace, Kim, and know that your children are surrounded by prayers and love», - she wrote on Instagram, according to PEOPLE. «Your light will always shine through your children, and how they all love each other is a blessing beyond words».
