NEED TO KNOW
- Cassie has been married to personal trainer Alex Fine since 2019
- The couple share two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, and are currently expecting their third child
- In May 2025, the singer took the witness stand at Diddy’s federal criminal trial
Casandra “Cassie” Ventura is focusing on her family.
The “Me & U” singer — who is considered the prosecution’s star witness in ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial — started testifying on May 13 in New York City. While on the witness stand, she discussed her decade-long relationship with Diddy, going into graphic detail about the alleged abuse she experienced at his hands, such as alleged forced sexual encounters and an alleged brutal assault.
Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, whom she married in 2019, was seen supporting his wife in the courtroom. The couple share two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, and are expecting their third child — a boy.
Following her split from Diddy in 2018, Cassie filed a lawsuit against the rap mogul in November 2023, alleging he raped and sexually trafficked her. The exes reached a settlement within 24 hours.
Cassie’s lawsuit created a domino effect, resulting in several additional lawsuits against Diddy and a federal investigation into the allegations. The rapper was arrested in September 2024 and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
From her wedding to testifying in Diddy’s federal trial, here’s everything to know about where Cassie is now.

Cassie married personal trainer Alex Fine in August 2019 in an intimate Malibu, Calif., ceremony.
Since then, the “Long Way 2 Go” singer has used social media to document her and Alex’s romance.
“There aren’t words to describe how grateful I am that I get to do this life with you!” Cassie wrote on Instagram in March 2025 in honor of Fine’s birthday.
She continued, “The laughter and pure joy that I get to experience with you is beyond any of my dreams and manifestations. You’ve taken care of me and my heart like no other.”

Four months after Cassie and Fine tied the knot, they welcomed their first child, daughter Frankie, in December 2019. The couple’s second child, daughter Sunny, arrived in March 2021.
Cassie frequently praises Fine’s parenting on social media, sharing peeks into his girl-dad duties — which include everything from princess dress-up sessions and Spice Girls dance parties to skating lessons and tropical family vacations, per her Instagram.
“There is just no one like you. I love you @alexfine44 Happy Father’s Day!!” the singer wrote on Instagram in June 2024.
Fine has also reciprocated the praise on Instagram, writing on Mother’s Day 2024 that Cassie was “the best mama.”
The singer and her husband are currently expecting their third child, who will be their first baby boy.

Cassie launched her singing career in 2006 with her self-titled debut album, which featured hit songs “Me & U” and “Long Way 2 Go.” At the time, she was signed to Diddy’s record company, Bad Boy Records.
Two years later, she made her acting debut as Sophie in Step Up 2: The Streets. She went on to star in The Perfect Match (2016) opposite Terrence Jenkins.
More recently, Cassie has been modeling for major brands, including THE BLONDS and SKIMS.

In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that the “Last Night” rapper kept her in a 10-year “cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking.” She also claimed that after she tried to leave Diddy in September 2018, he raped her.
At the time, Diddy’s then-lawyer Ben Brafman denied the allegations to PEOPLE, calling them “offensive and outrageous.”
The day after the lawsuit was filed, it was settled “to resolve this matter amicably,” as Cassie said in a statement at the time.
In May 2024, CNN released video footage from 2016 of the rapper attacking the singer in a Los Angeles hotel.
Fine came to his wife’s defense following the leak of the hotel surveillance video, writing on Instagram, “Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men, violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, your friends, and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard. Men who hurt women hate women.”

Called by the prosecution, Cassie — who is eight months pregnant, per the BBC — took the witness stand at Diddy’s criminal trial in May 2025.
In her testimony, Cassie claimed that Diddy “controlled” her life and forced her to participate in “Freak Offs” — lengthy sexual performances that allegedly involved baby oil and escorts — under the influence of drugs.
“The longest was 4 days or even more with breaks,” Cassie told the court. “Then I was recovering from the drugs, dehydration — just trying to stay awake all the time.”
She also claimed that Diddy taped the “Freak Offs” and kept them as blackmail.

Oprah’s Roomy Cargo Pants Are a Go-To Fall Style
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/oprahs-big-pocket-cargo-pants-5a1e945a3e654a8596b7bc3da4cbbd18.jpg)
Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Oprah Winfrey is committed to cargo pants, so it’s obvious I have to break up with my boring pocketless pants as soon as possible.
Last fall in New York City, the media mogul wore a pair of big-pocket pants (a style she’s worn before) that prompted a light-bulb realization: I fear I have not given cargos a fighting chance. And for what? Boring pants that only have hidden pockets, or, in many cases, faux ones that can’t even stash a phone.
Not long before Oprah showed off her brown cargos, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a navy blue pair with a cropped trench coat. That gives me another reason to feel confident about trying this offbeat pants style.

The rest of Oprah’s look was grand, too: Her purple sweater was ideal for fall thanks to its three-quarter sleeves, plus her comfy sneakers finished it with polished comfort (she also wore heels with the outfit at another point in the day, but let’s keep it casual). We rounded up similar big-pocket pants, sweaters, and kicks inspired by the TV icon.

When I use regular pockets, I’m super careful because, most of the time, they’re not deep enough, so things tend to fall out when I’m sitting. In other words, they’re not that secure, and that’s why I’m picking out pants with pockets that have more room or more compartments.
These from Amazon are “very durable” and “silky” to the touch, per the reviews. Also, according to one shopper who wore them while hiking, “The pockets were big enough to hold my phone and Chapstick, so I didn’t have to carry a big bag.” They also have drawstring cuffs, so you can tie them up if you don’t want to dirty them when walking around outdoors.
Liyohon Turtleneck Top
Amazon
I can’t stand feeling like an overstuffed burrito with a thick sweater packed into an even thicker coat in the fall or winter. So, I usually choose thinner layers, but I want them to keep me at least a little warm. This turtleneck “feels more like a light sweater than a T-shirt,” according to one shopper, and it has been worn under dresses and blazers, per many others.
The purple shade here is a little lighter than Oprah’s, but the three-quarter-length sleeves are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on here.
Somiliss Leather Suede Patchwork Sneakers
Amazon
Oprah also pulled a sneaky move when she did a little shoe change. We don’t know which pair came first — heels or sneakers — but I personally am a “go comfortable or go home” shoe gal, so I’m choosing option B.
In my book, suede makes anything more fall-worthy, but it can be tricky on shoes. I don’t want to have to spritz a protectant spray all over, so a pair with just a little bit of the soft texture feels easier to manage long term. The soles on these look serrated like Oprah’s, which make me believe that they’d be incredibly grippy.

Karlie Kloss welcomes third baby with husband Joshua Kushner

Karlie Kloss’ brood just got bigger.
The model has given birth to her and husband Joshua Kushner’s third baby — a girl. Kushner announced the news via Instagram Saturday by posting a photo of the newborn and revealing her name: “Rae Florence 9.18.2025 🤍.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel announced her pregnancy news in a March Instagram post debuting her bump.
“Three’s a party 🥹🫶🎉,” Kloss wrote at the time.
The caption referenced her and Kushner’s eldest two children — sons Levi and Elijah — who appeared in the social media upload.
Levi was born in March 2021, followed by Elijah in July 2023.
While awaiting baby No. 3, Kloss continued to show off her budding belly at the Met Gala, WNBA games and more events.
She rocked a black off-the-shoulder gown to ring in Kushner’s 40th birthday at a star-studded bash in June.
“I have loved growing up together, and can’t wait to grow old together,” Kloss captioned a celebratory tribute to the “love of [her] life and best friend” via Instagram.
The Kode With Klossy founder and Kushner have been together since 2012.
The businessman got down on one knee in July 2018, and the duo walked down the aisle in upstate New York three months post-proposal.
The duo went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Wyoming in 2019.
Although the pair primarily keep their romance out of the public eye over the years, Kloss insisted to Net-a-Porter in 2018 that they “have nothing to hide.”
In May, she explained to “Aspire” podcast listeners that their “partnership is so solid” because they met when she was a teenager.
“We’ve grown up together,” Kloss gushed. “He’s always been my biggest champion.”

Prince Harry Made Secret Visit to Another Member of Royal Family During U.K. Trip

NEED TO KNOW
- Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a secret visit to another member of the royal family
- According to Hello!, Harry visited Kensington Palace to pay his respects to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent
- Harry “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues” during his trip to Britain, a source said
Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years, as well as a secret visit to another member of the royal family.
According to a report from Hello! published on Saturday, Sept. 20, Harry, 41, privately visited Kensington Palace to “personally pay his respects and offer condolences” to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. She died on Sept. 4 at the age of 92.
Although Harry was not able to attend Katharine’s funeral on Sept. 16, as he had already left the U.K., a source close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that he “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues.”
“His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people, but the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time, and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games Foundation’s growing work and the progress at Superhumans,” the source added.
“The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved,” the source said. “His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn’t dimmed one bit — he’s already buzzing to get back and do more.”

The Duke of Sussex made several public appearances during his U.K. trip, including at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where he crouched to greet children, wrapped families in hugs and cracked jokes. In Nottingham the next day, he danced into a room at the Community Recording Studio (CRS), laughing and bantering with young activists.
“He’s still the same person,” said CRS’s Trevor Rose. “He wants to feel the energy here. He cares — and that’s the main thing.”

One of the most newsworthy moments came when Harry arrived at Clarence House on Sept. 10, and disappeared inside for a long-awaited, private meeting with King Charles. He emerged just under one hour later — and experts were quick to point out that this visit could be the first step on the road to reconciliation with his father.
“It’s a massive step in the right direction,” Queen Elizabeth’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. “It’s a building of trust.”

Harry and the King, 76, have been estranged for more than 18 months. As PEOPLE previously reported, the meeting not only served as a chance for the Duke of Sussex to rekindle his relationship with his father, but also with his brother, Prince William.
While the encounter marked a hopeful step forward, royal insiders caution that a long road lies ahead before full reconciliation can take place.
“It shows the way forward,” an insider with ties to both sides told PEOPLE. “It is a good starting point.”
Just a few days after the meeting, Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, with his Invictus Games Foundation and spoke with The Guardian while there.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, while also acknowledging his past revelations in interviews and his memoir Spare. “My conscience is clear.”
When asked if he will ever bring his children to the U.K. despite his security concerns, Harry told the outlet, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
“Whatever has gone on in the past, it is good to see the family trying to repair itself or communicate at least,” a source with close ties to the palace added to PEOPLE. “Everyone has to have compassion for all sides.”
After visiting the U.K. and Ukraine, Harry returned to Montecito, Calif., to be with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Meghan, 44, and Harry stepped out together to the One805LIVE! concert, which supports Santa Barbara County’s first responders and was held at Kevin Costner‘s oceanside estate in California.
