Why did Cassie split with P Diddy and who is her fiance Alex Fine?
CASSIE shocked fans last year when she announced her split from music mogul P Diddy, and within weeks she was alleged to be seeing personal trainer Alex Fine.
The two are now engaged and expecting their first child together, but what caused Cassie’s split from Diddy and when did Alex pop the question? Here’s all you need to know…
Why did Cassie split with Diddy?
In October, 2018, it was reported that Cassie had parted ways with the Last Night hitmaker, with sources telling that the duo was no longer romantically involved.
In fact, the two had reportedly split months prior but kept it to themselves in the hopes of their breakup falling under the radar.
"They are indeed no longer together and haven't been for months," Cassie's rep revealed in an official statement at the time.
The couple didn’t address the surprise split, but it became evident that both Cassie and Diddy had separated when coupled up photos of the two started disappearing on their Instagram accounts.
After that, Cassie made the move to unfollow everyone on the social media platform - including her ex-boyfriend.
It was also believed in February, 2014 that Diddy was planning to propose to Cassie, having shared plans to gift the gorgeous star with an expensive diamond ring.
In the end, however, fans were wrong because though it appeared as if Diddy was looking to settle down and propose to his former longtime girlfriend, the chances of tying the knot appeared to look slimmer by the day for Cassie, who eventually pulled the plug.
It should be noted that Cassie and Diddy have split on numerous occasions in the past, but sources affirmed that there was no going back for either of the two.
The Long Way To Go singer never explained her reasons for parting ways with the father-of-six, but it’s believed she’d grown tired of the relationship following a string of infidelity allegations, which eventually sent her over the edge.
Who is Alex Fine and when did Cassie share her baby news?
Alex Fine is a 25-year-old personal trainer, known to not only train the biggest names in Hollywood but also the gang on Netflix’s Riverdale.
Vanity Fair is quoted saying how Alex went from playing rugby in college out in Michigan to searching for the name of the trainer who collaborated with Bradley Cooper for his role in American Sniper.
And from there, he made his move to Los Angeles in the hopes of living out his dream career as a celebrity personal trainer.
He’s trained everyone from Mark Consuelos to the cast of Riverdale, and he’s even believed to have helped Cassie stay in shape while she was still with Diddy.
In January, 2019, the same month Cassie’s new romance came to light, the Bad Boy executive made shock allegations claiming that his former girlfriend had cheated on him with Alex, with sources telling that “there was absolutely overlap.”
“Cassie wanted a personal trainer, so Diddy hired Alex for her. Then Cassie and Alex started hooking up before her relationship with Diddy was over.”
Cassie never responded to the accusations regarding her relationship with Alex.
Instead, she focused her time on living a happy life before eventually dropping a bombshell on her official Instagram account.
On June 13, the Step Up 2 actress announced she was expecting her first baby, with the caption: "Can't wait to meet our baby girl.”
Alex Fine also used Instagram to share the joyful news while utilising the caption box to gush over his love for Cassie, who he promises to love “beyond expectation.”
He added: “I promise to always come home with a great attitude and give our children and you undivided attention.
“I promise to always keep you and the child first nothing comes before you... You two are my greatest loves I have and will ever have. I cannot wait for the rest of our lives together and to raise a beautiful happy child in our beautiful happy life."
