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. Times staff write Richard Winton and former Times staff writer Nardine Saad contributed to this report.

You did not break the woman who has made me a better man.' He continued, 'Cassie saved Cassie. She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats.
