Casandra Ventura , the RB singer and actor known simply as Cassie , has welcomed her third child, a son.
The news arrived Wednesday in the midst of the ongoing Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial, at which Cassie is an essential witness. She finished testifying earlier this month while visibly pregnant over four emotional days on the stand, during which she described being beaten and raped by a man she once loved.
Reports from multiple media outlets said Cassie gave birth in a New York hospital Tuesday.
Stylist Deonte Nash, who worked for Combs for a decade, testified Wednesday that he talked to Cassie the previous day to congratulate her on the birth.
Cassie, 38, is perhaps best known for the platinum-selling 2006 hit single "Me U." She married personal trainer Alex Fine in September 2019. Their first daughter, Frankie Stone Fine, was born that same year and they welcomed their second daughter, Sunny Cinco Fine, in 2021.
