On Tuesday, Combs shared several pictures of his little girl, who he fathered with cyber security specialist Dana Tran, and wrote out the lyrics to Happy Birthday in the caption.
One picture showed Combs laughing while he played with Love in the ocean, and other shots showed the toddler digging into a birthday cake while wearing a white dress.
"Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you," Combs wrote.
A birthday post on the little girl's Instagram account, which is run by her mom, said that Love can sing her ABCs, count to 50, cook, and sing.

The mom wrote, "2 years of life and love."
Little is known about Tran, whose online presence centers around spending time with little Love.
The two were reported to have gotten married earlier this year, but this was never confirmed, and one source told that it wasn't true.
DISTURBING ALLEGATIONS
It's been one month since Combs was arrested as a federal indictment accused him of sex trafficking for his perverse parties called freak-offs.

At the parties, Combs would allegedly film high-profile guests as they had sex with prostitutes who he flew out from around the country and use the video as blackmail.
In the past several weeks, Combs has been hit with a flurry of additional claims of sexual assault, rape, violence, and manipulation by accusers ranging from music hopefuls to complete strangers.
Diddy could be connected to Tupac’s murder, says rap legend’s brother
Six of the suits were filed on Monday, and the accusers consist of two women and four men, one of whom says he was 16 years old when Combs allegedly sexually assaulted him.
One of the suits alleges that Combs orally raped a male Macy's store worker in an Ecko stockroom at the flagship location in New York City.
Combs and three bodyguards stormed the stockroom and hit the worker on the back of the neck before the mogul started "brutally" assaulting him because he worked for the rival apparel brand Ecko to Combs' Sean John, the suit claims.
The rapper allegedly spewed insults and called the victim "Ecko" before walking back out to the salesfloor and promoting his new clothing line as if nothing happened.
The accuser told Macy's security about the incident, but nothing was done and he was later fired, the suit alleges.
Another lawsuit claims Combs groped a 16-year-old boy after convincing him it was a rite of passage to succeed in the music industry.
At a Long Island party in 1996, Combs, who was then 28, told the teen to take off his pants and said, "Don't you want to break into the business?" according to the suit.
Meanwhile, in yet another suit, a female accuser said Combs raped her after luring her into a locked hotel room by saying there was a party.

RAPPER'S TRIAL
Combs is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has been denied bail twice.
He's facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and his trial date has been set for May 5 of next year.
Federal investigators raided Combs' homes earlier this year, where they uncovered over 1,000 bottles of baby oil to be used for the freak-offs, the indictment alleges.
Freak-off guests spent days engaging in drug-fueled antics and were given IV drips afterward to help recover, according to prosecutors.
It comes as...
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs held in hellhole prison
- Combs hit with sex trafficking charges
- Damning indictment accuses rapper of holding drug-fueled Freak Offs that lasted days
- Diddy to remain in custody after being denied '$50 million bail'
- Star's entourage 'could be charged' over 'Freak Off supplies' after 1,000 bottles of lube and baby oil seized
- Arrest took place in a New York City hotel in September
- Victim's lawyer says rapper 'will face justice like R. Kelly'
Last month, a singer exclusively claimed to The U.S. Sun that she escaped one of Diddy's sex parties when she was just 16 years old.
Combs has maintained his innocence since he was hit with charges and could face a minimum of 15 years in prison if he's convicted.
His alleged crimes were first publicly thrust into the limelight after his ex Cassie Ventura claimed that she suffered years of abuse in a bombshell suit filed in November 2023.
Both parties settled the suit a day after it was filed, but stories hauntingly similar to her allegations continue to appear in new filings.
Diddy's downfall
By The U.S. Sun's Senior Reporter Forrest McFarland, who has been reporting on Diddy's legal battles for years
BEFORE Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest in September, it was highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations - and had two of his mansions raided by the feds.
His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called "Freak Offs."
Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Combs were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities.
The development also came after Combs was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.
Aside from the Tupac probe, Combs was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.
Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway.
Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Combs' mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his "Freak Off" supplies.
In addition to his federal criminal charges, Combs also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.
Music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Combs forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over.
He faces life in prison if he's convicted on all counts.
