Cassie Ventura welcomes 3rd baby with husband Alex Fine
Cassie Ventura is a mom of three.
The singer, actress and model welcomed her third baby with husband Alex Fine, a source close to Ventura told ABC News Wednesday.
No other details were immediately available.
The source said Ventura and her husband would post an update in the future.
The news of Ventura's delivery comes two weeks after she testified in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking and racketeering trial.
The singer, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Combs for more than a decade and alleged that Combs subjected her to abuse, was called on by prosecutors as their first witness in the trial because she was eight months pregnant at the time of her testimony.

One of the violent episodes she testified about was a 2016 incident in Los Angeles that jurors watched on a video captured by hotel surveillance at the time. The video was first released by CNN in May 2024.
Following the release of the video last year, Ventura took to Instagram and thanked everyone for their "love and support."
"The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning," she began. "Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past."
"This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me," she said at the end of her post.
After the video surfaced, Combs apologized in a video he shared on Instagram. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies sexually assaulting or trafficking anyone.

Ventura announced she was expecting baby no. 3 in February.
She shared a series of sweet black and white photos with Fine and their two daughters, Frankie Stone Fine and Sunny Cinco Fine, on Instagram.
"🤰🏽💙 #3," she captioned the post.
Fine also shared a separate post about the news of their growing family and wrote, "Best gift I could ask for."
Ventura and Fine, a wellness consultant, met at the gym. The duo tied the knot in October 2019, according to Vogue.
ABC News' Aaron Katersky contributed to this report.

Elusive street artist Banksy reveals new artwork – in France?
Banksy's back... and he / she / they may have crossed the Channel. In an Instagram post on Thursday, Banksy unveiled his latest piece: a traffic bollard casting a shadow of a lighthouse with the words "I want to be what you saw in me" written over it. The post was not accompanied by a caption or location. Within ten hours of posting, the image had collected more than 500,000 likes. Voir cette publication sur Instagram Une publication partagée par Banksy (@banksy) While Banksy's art regularly features satire or socio-political meaning, this new artwork has fans scratching their heads. A critique of state surveillance, perhaps? Or maybe a commentary about modern isolation? Or is it something more personal, a universal feeling characterised by a tinge of melancholia? Once again, Banksy shines in taking an ordinary object and turning it into something altogether more surprising – a simple yet potent reminder that what we dismiss in daily life as mundane can take on different meanings depending on how we decide to observe it... And not take the potentially extraordinary for granted. We all need a lighthouse, a sense of guidance and hope. We also feel the need to be seen for who we are and aspire to be a better version of ourselves... And how easier would life be if we managed to perceive ourselves through the eyes of another, and perhaps catch the reflection of the (hopefully better) person others imagine us to be? The new artwork has also left Banksy fans frantically speculating over its location. Geoguessers on social media have speculated that the street art may be Marseille, in the south of France. All we know is that the piece comes five months after 'Mother and Child', the December 2024 artwork that reinterpreted the religious iconography of the "Madonna and Child" in a contemporary light, and follows the elusive artist's 2023 'Beastly London' campaign. The latter was a nine-day burst of animal-themed murals scattered across the city which featured elephants peeking from boarded windows in Chelsea and a horny rhinoceros enthusiastically mounting a Nissan Micra in Walthamstow. Elsewhere, Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus sold his Banksy painting for €5.2 million at a London auction ealier this year, The record for a Banksy sale still stands at £18.6 million in 2021 (€27 million adjusted for inflation) for "Love is in the Bin". After Banksy installed a shredder into the frame of his 2006 painting "Girl with Balloon" and programmed it to self-destruct after an auction in 2018, the half-shredded painting was renamed and sold for the astronomical sum.

I'm a physician and I'm worried that our health agencies are facing increasing chaos
The American health system is bleeding out, and it desperately needs a real doctor. Leading Health and Human Services (HHS) today is like navigating a chaotic hospital — patients in every hallway, monitors screaming, seconds ticking away. Yet, instead of a seasoned physician who triages and trusts proven protocols, that hospital is overseen by an activist named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A patient's oxygen level plummets; nurses turn to HHS Secretary Kennedy. Instead of orders, they get a lecture on conspiracies. Chaos follows. That chaos is now national. Our health agencies are trying to perform open-heart surgery while debating the effectiveness of a scalpel. Scientists who should be developing next-generation cancer vaccines are, instead, defending 60-year-old elementary science. Conspiracy ideology is beginning to take over, and we're all going to pay the price. I'm a board-certified physician and one of the most-followed online, and since Kennedy took office, I've been forced to swap from fact-checking Instagram influencers to fact-checking the nation's top public-health official. Our nation's health system is in shambles, and the leadership of HHS plays a pivotal role in fixing this disaster. That's why it's deeply alarming that Kennedy, who continues to spread misinformation and denies the fundamentals of medicine, remains at the helm of the agency. Although he claims he's "not anti-vaccine," his words and actions tell a different story. He recklessly attacks vaccine efficacy, spreads disproven theories linking vaccines to autism, and denies fundamental virology — from diseases like HIV, measles, and more. I'm all for healthy skepticism, but scientific skepticism means investigating data, not cherry-picking it … or making it up. These aren't privately held beliefs either — a post on his active X account states that the HPV vaccine "increases cervical-cancer risk" all despite mountains of real-world data showing up to 88% drops in cancer among vaccinated teens. Sweden, England, and even the CDC surveillance report plunging pre-cancer rates. Recently, he claimed, "50% of the population is diabetic" and that "one out of every three kids" already has the disease. In reality, true estimates put China's diabetes prevalence around 12%, and the U.S. pediatric figure closer to one in 300. If one of my interns inflated numbers by a factor of 10, they'd be sent back to remedial math. Kennedy does it regularly on primetime television. Worse, he's now canceled $12 billion in disease outbreak prevention programs, proposed a 26% cut to the NIH budget, and pink-slipped roughly 20,000 public-health scientists and staff. Those decisions have consequences: dozens of federally funded vaccine clinics in Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Texas and Washington were canceled just as measles cases blew past 1,000 — the worst surge in a generation. He's dismantling the firehouse while buildings are burning. Public health cannot survive an HHS head who guts the programs that keep us safe and then fans the very myths that make outbreaks explode. Kennedy's long record of undermining proven public health measures and spreading scientific falsehoods makes him a threat to millions of Americans. Certainly, he should never have been confirmed to lead the office in the first place, but choosing to leave him in charge is like handing the keys to a driver who continues to insist that stop signs and red lights are optional. Today, I say that Kennedy is the wrong person to lead HHS. The integrity of our nation's health agencies demands leadership grounded in facts, research, and transparency — not misinformation. Doctors like me take an oath to 'do no harm.' We must call out leaders like Secretary Kennedy when they cause great harm to public health. We must stop the bleeding.
