Cassie is a boy mom: Singer gives birth to baby No. 3 with husband Alex Fine
Cassie is celebrating a new personal milestone: her baby boy with husband Alex Fine has arrived.
The 'Me & U' singer on Tuesday gave birth to her third child in a New York hospital, sources confirmed to TMZ and People. She and 'MobLand' actor Fine welcomed their newest family member after the former was rushed to the hospital Tuesday and admitted into the labor and delivery unit, according to TMZ.
A representative for Cassie, 38, did not immediately respond to The Times' request for confirmation and additional information.
The singer (born Casandra Ventura) married Fine, 32, in October 2019 months after meeting him earlier that year at a gym where he worked as a wellness consultant. They also share daughters Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 3.
Cassie announced her pregnancy in February via Instagram, sharing photos from an intimate family photo shoot. She captioned the post — which prominently featured her baby bump and her loved ones surrounding her — with a few emojis, including a blue heart. Fine, also known for the series 'American Primeval' and '1883,' said in his own Instagram post at the time that his growing family was the 'best gift I could ask for.'
The 'Long Way 2 Go' musician enters her newest chapter of motherhood less than two weeks after she testified against ex-boyfriend and disgraced music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs in his federal sex trafficking trial in New York. During her four days of testimony, Cassie shared disturbing allegations about her relationship with the Bad Boy Records boss — including his alleged fits of violence, threats of blackmail and his notorious sexual marathons called 'freak-offs.' She sued Combs in the fall of 2023, helping set the stage for additional lawsuits from other accusers, federal raids on Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami and more legal fallout.
'I hope my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear,' Cassie said in a statement shared by her attorney Douglas Wigdor. 'For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget.'
Fine, in a statement through Wigdor, also shut down narratives that he saved his wife from Combs. 'To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself,' he said. 'Cassie saved Cassie.'
He added: 'She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats.'
Fine concluded, noting 'this horrific chapter is forever put behind us' and asked for privacy ahead of the arrival of his son with Cassie.

Escaped Inmate Asks Lil Wayne, NBA YoungBoy, Meek Mill for Help
One of the inmates still on the lam after the recent jailbreak in New Orleans has put out a plea for help directed at Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, and NBA YoungBoy. Antoine Massey is one of two men who remains at large after escaping a New Orleans jail last month. Earlier this week, he appeared to post a nearly 10-minute video statement to Instagram, denying he came up with the plan for the jailbreak ('I didn't break out, I was let out'), proclaiming his innocence (he's facing charges of domestic violence), and asking for help. More from Rolling Stone Elon Calls Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Bill a 'Disgusting Abomination' Lil Wayne Celebrates Over 20 Years of 'Tha Carter' With New Tour Neil Young Invites Donald Trump to Summer Tour After Springsteen Spat The three aforementioned rappers — all of whom have had dealings with the criminal justice system — are name-checked multiple times in the clip (which has since been deleted). And because there's never a wrong time to shoot your shot, Massey also asked President Donald Trump for assistance. (Trump previously granted a pardon to Lil Wayne, and he just gave clemency to NBA YoungBoy.) 'I'm asking please for help — YoungBoy, Meek Mills,' Massey said. 'People that been through the system that know it's corrupt. Lil Wayne, Donald Trump. When I get back in custody, I'm asking y'all, please come help.' Reps for Wayne, Mill, and NBA YoungBoy did not immediately return requests for comment. The video featuring Massey was posted on June 1, and authorities found it credible enough that they carried out a search of a home where they believed the video was recorded, per The Associated Press. Authorities zeroed in on the location after being tipped off by relatives who recognized the residence, but Massey was not there when the police arrived. Officials did, however, say they found the clothes they think Massey was wearing in the clip. Massey was one of 10 people who escaped the New Orleans jail, fleeing through a hole that was carved out behind a toilet and then climbing over a wall. (The guard assigned to their cell pod was reportedly getting food at the time of the breakout.) Eight of the inmates who fled the jail have since been taken back into custody; along with Massey, the only inmate still at large is Derrick Groves, who was convicted of killing two people last fall.

All About Justin and Hailey Bieber's 'Miracle' Baby Jack Blues Bieber
Justin and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child together in August 2024. The baby was named Jack Blues Bieber in keeping with a Bieber family tradition to have the initials "JB." His arrival caused a "total shift" in Justin and Hailey's and Hailey Bieber are the proud new parents of their firstborn son, Jack Blues Bieber. The couple welcomed their "miracle" baby in August 2024 and have basically been in the honeymoon phase with their son ever since. "The pregnancy was something that they very much wished and prayed for. The day they found out that Hailey was pregnant, was the best ever for Justin," an insider previously told People. "He was over the moon with excitement. It was a big celebration for them." Hailey Bieber has since celebrated her first Mother's Day as a mom, calling parenthood the "wildest, coolest thing I've ever done." Oh, and since welcoming Jack, she's somehow found time to ink a billion dollar deal for E.l.f. Beauty to acquire her viral skincare brand, rhode. Still, the model illuminated some of her fears around parenting in the limelight during an interview with The Sunday Times. "It's enough that people say things about my husband or my friends," she told the publication. "I can't imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.' That said, 'We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.' Ahead, everything the model and her pop star husband have shared so far about their baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber. The model did not reveal she was expecting until she was already six months pregnant. A source later explained their reasoning in an interview with People. 'They've felt very protective of the baby from the moment they found out,' the insider said at the time. 'It was important for them to keep it quiet and just enjoy for as long as possible before they publicly confirmed [it].' The couple did tell their close friends and family, however, and simply asked them "not share until they were ready to announce." Following the announcement, the rhode founder took her style cues from fellow celebrity mom Rihanna. Hailey actually referenced the "Umbrella" singer's pregnancy looks long before she herself was expecting, back in 2022. "[Rihanna] was the most gorgeous, hottest pregnant woman I've ever seen," Hailey told W Magazine. "And I think I'll only know when that time comes, but yeah," she said, "I definitely don't want to feel like I have to sacrifice my style when being pregnant. My style is something that's really important to me." New dad Justin announced his son's arrival on Instagram, writing, "WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER 🐻." A source later told People that the couple was "overjoyed." "The baby is such a miracle. He's adorable and doing well," the insider said, adding, "Hailey's doing well, too." Though the couple did not reveal Jack's exact birthdate, fellow model mom Adwoa Aboah later let it slip that their babies were born "a day apart." Fans now believe that Jack was born on August 22. The name Jack Blues Bieber is sentimental for a number of reasons: Jack is the middle name of Justin's dad, Jeremy Bieber, and with the initials "JB," baby Jack is following in the footsteps of both Justin and his grandfather, as well as his aunt and uncle Jazmyn and Jaxon with his very own "JB" name. Roughly nine months after Jack's arrival, Hailey opened up about her birth story in an interview with Vogue. The beauty mogul revealed that she had suffered from life-threatening postpartum complications. 'That shit was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing,' Bieber said about her 18-hour labor. However, things took a turn for the worse after Jack's arrival when doctors were unable to stop her bleeding and she had a postpartum hemorrhage. Despite trusting her doctor 'with [her] life,' the model said her concerns escalated when the medical staff tried unsuccessfully to staunch her bleeding. Admitting she was starting to 'get a little freaked out,' Bieber shared, 'I had peace that I knew [my doctor] would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.' Setting aside those stubborn divorce rumors, adding a new baby to the mix was apparently just what the doctor ordered for the husband and wife duo. 'There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,' a source told Us Weekly a few months after Jack's arrival. 'He's truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.' Given that Justin is a major hockey fan, perhaps it will come as no surprise that the "Never Say Never" singer wants to share the sport with his son. At a charity hockey game benefitting victims of the L.A. wildfires, Justin told reporters that he would teach Jack to skate "as soon as possible," jokingly adding "it's never too early," per People.
