Cassie’s family is about to get a little bigger.
The singer, 38, announced on Wednesday, February 19, that she is expecting her third baby with her husband, Alex Fine. She confirmed the news via Instagram with a photo carousel that showed her posing with Fine, 31, and their two daughters.
“
#3,” Cassie, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, captioned the post.
Fine also reposted the same snaps via his own account with the message, “Best gift I could ask for.”
Cassie and Fine, who tied the knot in 2021, became parents in 2019 with the arrival of daughter Frankie, now 5. Their second daughter, Sunny, now 3, was born in 2021.
Last year, Cassie gushed over Fine’s parenting skills in a Father’s Day post that included a video of him pushing their girls in a double stroller with their dog. “There is just no one like you,” she wrote via Instagram in June 2024. “I love you @alexfine44 Happy Father’s Day!!”
Cassie and Husband Alex Fine’s Relationship Timeline
Cassie’s latest pregnancy announcement post was soon full of congratulatory messages from her followers. “This literally gave me chills,” wrote one fan. “I have never been happier for someone I have never personally met. Congrats to you guys! May you continue to receive all the happiness your heart and soul not only desires, but all that you deserve!”
Another Instagram user added,” Living the life you deserve, congrats on your growing family! We adore you Cassie and we admire your strength. Blessings.”
Before marrying Fine, Cassie dated Sean “Diddy” Combs off and on from 2007 to 2018. In November 2023, she filed a lawsuit against her ex, now 55, accusing him of abuse and rape throughout their relationship. The suit was settled one day later, but multiple alleged victims have since spoken out against Diddy. He has denied all the allegations.
In May 2024, CNN released a video of hotel security camera footage from 2016 that showed Diddy striking Cassie and knocking her to the ground before kicking her and dragging her down the hallway. Diddy subsequently apologized for his “inexcusable behavior” in a social media video, saying, “It’s difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you gotta do that. I was f—ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses.”

Days later, Cassie thanked fans for their support in a statement shared via Instagram, writing, “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. 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.”
She added, “Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in.”
Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial following his September 2024 arrest on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
