(NewsNation) — Casandra “Cassie” Ventura has reportedly given birth to her third child nearly two weeks after testifying in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Multiple outlets have reported that Ventura, 38, has welcomed a baby boy with her husband, Alex Fine. On Wednesday, Ventura had reportedly been taken to a New York City hospital’s labor and delivery unit.
Ventura had first announced that she was pregnant on Feb. 19 in an Instagram post. Her post said: “🤰🏽💙 #3.” Ventura and Fine already have two daughters: Sunny, 3, and Frankie, 5. Fine and Ventura got married in 2019.
Cassie testifies in Diddy’s federal trial
Ventura spent about a week testifying in Combs’ federal trial. On May 13, she testified that the sex parties that Combs would allegedly throw, called “Freak Offs,” could last up to four days. She also said she participated in these parties for almost a decade, with the last one being around 2017 or 2018.

“It was such a mess,” she told the court. “It was like, ‘What are we doing?’” Ventura also said her first
“Freak Off” was when she was 22 years old and she was, “confused, nervous, but also loved him [Combs] very much.”
She also said she felt like, if she said no, she could be faced with blackmail and violence. On May 14, she told jurors that Combs had raped her when she ended their relationship by forcing his way into her LA apartment.
At one point, Ventura was pressed to read explicit messages between her and Combs out loud while on the stand. One message exchange that happened in August 2009 showed Combs asking Ventura when she wanted the next party to be, and she responded with, “I’m always ready to freak off.”
Ventura’s last day on the stand was May 19.
