Diddy is a father to seven children total. He and the late Kim Porter, who died in 2018, were parents to Christian and twin daughters Jessie and DâLila, 18, plus son Quincy Brown, whom Porter shared with Al B. Sure!.
The rapper later welcomed son Justin with Misa Hylton in 1993, and then a daughter, Chance Combs, with Sarah Chapman in 2006. Combs surprised fans years later when he announced the arrival of his youngest daughter, Love, whom he shares Dana Tran, in 2022.
In recent weeks, Diddy’s family has been a fixture at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan, where the rapper is being tried on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, among others.
Six of the artist’s seven children came to support him on May 12, when opening statements in the music mogul’s ongoing trial began. Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, was also in attendance.
Back in October 2024, Diddy’s six oldest children issued a joint statement addressing the allegations against their father.
Stating that the situation has “devastated our family,” they continued, “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.”
“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family,” the family added.
They signed off their message, writing, “WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD. Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, Jessie & D’Lila.”

Diddy was initially arrested in September 2024. He has denied all of the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to five total criminal counts, including one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
So far, jurors in Diddy’s criminal trial have heard from his former assistant, a makeup artist and rapper Kid Cudi, as well as his former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, and her mother.
Judge Arun Subramanian recently confirmed that the trial will most likely be over before Friday, July 4.
Diddy is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence.
