Sean "Diddy" Combs' Teen Daughters Unite at Trial's Closing Statements
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' daughters are showing their support.
The music mogul's 18-year-old twins D'Lila Combs and Jessie Combs, whom he shares with his late ex Kim Porter, arrived at a New York City courthouse June 26 to hear closing statements in their father's sex trafficking trial. They were joined by their sister Chance Combs, 18, whom the 55-year-old shares with ex Sarah Chapman.
D'Lila and Jessie wore matching white pinstripe suits and open-toed heels for the appearance, while Chance opted for a black T-shirt and matching trousers with loafers. The trio seemed to put on a united front as they held hands while entering the federal building.
The government rested its case against Combs June 24 after weeks of calling witnesses to testify against the rapper, while his defense team rested their case after roughly 20 minutes, according to NBC News reporters in the courtroom. Combs, who has pled not guilty to all of his charges, declined to take the stand himself.

Combs' children—including his and Porter's sons Quincy Brown, 34, and Christian 'King' Combs, 27, as well as his and ex Misa Hylton's son Justin Combs, 31—have stood by their dad throughout his criminal case with recurring appearances in court since the trial began in May. They also spoke out in a joint social media post in October, shortly after their father's arrest.
'The past month has devastated our family,' they wrote in a post on Quincy's Instagram page at the time. 'Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.'
'We stand united, supporting you every step of the way,' the message went on. 'We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.'

Browns sign undrafted receiver Isaiah Bond to 3-year deal after he wasn't charged in sexual-assault case
The Cleveland Browns reportedly signed receiver Isaiah Bond to a three-year, $3 million deal Monday after he was not charged as part of a sexual-assault investigation. Bond, 21, was expected to be a mid-round pick in 2025 NFL Draft, but went undrafted after being arrested on a sexual-assault charge just two weeks before the draft. Details regarding Bond's arrest were scarce, and Bond claimed the accusations against him were untrue. Bond turned himself in and was able to post $25,000 bail following the arrest. With his legal situation unresolved, Bond went undrafted and failed to catch on with a team as training camps opened. But his situation changed Thursday. Bond was "no-billed" by a grand jury in Texas, meaning there was not enough evidence to charge Bond. Shortly after he was no-billed, Bond announced he was signing with the Browns. The team responded to that statement saying they were "doing their diligence" and that a deal would not be signed Thursday. Bond flashed big-play potential in two seasons at Alabama before transferring to Texas ahead of the 2024 season. Bond didn't rack up elite reception numbers, snagging just 34 balls during his junior season. But he gained 540 yards and scored five touchdowns with those catches. Bond talked up his elite speed ahead of the 2025 NFL Combine, and while he didn't break the 40-yard dash record, he turned in a solid 4.39-second performance. That likely would have been enough to get him drafted in the middle of the draft if not for his arrest. Now that he's reportedly under contract, Bond will need to get caught up with the Browns after missing a large chunk of training camp. He's unlikely to make an impact early in the season due to his late start, but will look to work his way up a shaky Browns depth chart once he's fully integrated into the team's system.

The sweetest ever!' @sh8knknotsterd said, 'Oh she is such a butterball and I love it! .' @tasheepech remarked, 'OMG look she's full of emotions first you can see excitement then she gets a bit emotional too in excitement .' The importance of sibling connections Even at a very young age, children can feel and respond to the presence of their siblings. Research shows that positive sibling relationships contribute to emotional development, social skills, and a sense of security. According to the American Psychological Association, siblings provide emotional support and can help children navigate stress and develop empathy. The Child Mind Institute notes that shared activities and attention from parents encourage strong bonds and can prevent rivalry, especially during transitions like the start of a new school year. How parents can foster sibling bonds Here are expert-backed strategies to strengthen sibling connections: Create greeting rituals – Even simple gestures, like a hug or special handshake when children come home, can reinforce attachment and make reunions something to look forward to. Encourage shared activities – According to author Alli Worthington, Reading, drawing, or collaborative play fosters cooperation and emotional closeness. Promote open communication – As per The Parent Cue, Teaching children to express feelings respectfully helps reduce misunderstandings and strengthens empathy. Model positive interactions – Children learn by example; showing respectful conflict resolution and affection in your own relationships encourages similar behavior among siblings.
