Cassie Ventura has gone into labor with her third child days after her emotional testimony against ex-boyfriend, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, it has been claimed.
The Me & U singer is expecting a baby boy with husband Alex Fine, confirming their happy news at the beginning of the year.
According to reports, the 38-year-old was rushed to a hospital in New York earlier today.
TMZ reports that she is currently in the labor unit of the facility but no further details have been shared.
In the weeks before her son’s arrival, the Empire actress appeared in court in Manhattan to give evidence in Combs’ ongoing sex-trafficking trial.
The disgraced rapper, 55, is currently facing five charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution – he has denied all allegations against him.

Much of the trial so far has focused his 11-year on-off relationship with Ventura, and she took to the stand for four days straight earlier this month, detailing his alleged abuse.
In 2023, she filed a lawsuit accusing the I’ll Be Missing You star of a decade of abuse – including an incident at the InterContinental Hotel in LA in 2016, with CCTV footage appearing to show him grabbing, shoving and kicking her across the floor.
Sharing her account with the court, a heavily-pregnant Ventura also detailed the so-called ‘freak offs’ – marathon sex parties she says she had been coerced into – which the musician is accused of organizing.
The former couple dated for over 10 years before going their separate ways in 2018.

Shortly after, Ventura met wellness consultant Fine at the gym, and they made their relationship official in December of that year.
She announced that she was expecting a baby girl with the MobLand actor in June 2019, and they tied the knot that September, before welcoming baby daughter Frankie Stone together.
In March 2021, they introduced daughter Sunny, before confirming their third bundle of joy was on the way in February.
After Ventura left the court for the final time, Fine shared a message of support for his wife, telling fans: ‘Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past.

‘I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.
‘So to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not.
‘You did not break her spirit, nor her smile, that lights up every room. You did not break the souls of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man.’
He also denied ‘saving’ Ventura, vowing: ‘Cassie saved Cassie. She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her.’
