Cassie was once a tabloid favorite, thanks to her high-profile romance with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. So, it came as quite a shock when she and Diddy split up after more than a decade of dating. People were even more shocked when she immediately moved on with personal trainer and bull rider Alex Fine.
Here’s what we know Cassie & Alex Fine’s love story.
Who is Alex Fine?
Cassie and Diddy reportedly started dating in 2007, and there were rumors that Diddy was unfaithful during their time together. According to TMZ, the power couple broke up in 2018. After their split, Diddy took some time to post intimate photos of Cassie on his Instagram and expressed his love for her. She didn’t reciprocate the affection, though.
In fact, hours after Diddy made his post, Cassie posted a photo of her and new boyfriend Alex hanging out with her mom. In another photo posted to her Instagram account, she and Alex were seen kissing. It was pretty clear by that point that Cassie was over Diddy for good.
The professional personal trainer has worked with A-listers, like NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. actress Jennifer Aniston and actor Mark Consuelos. He’s also a professional bull rider and the Director of Health for a CBD-infused water company. Sources also revealed that Alex is seven years younger than Cassie, but that didn’t stop the two from connecting.
According to TMZ, Diddy hired Alex to be his personal trainer, and he was in charge of training Cassie. Sources told People magazine Cassie and Alex started hooking up before her relationship with Diddy was officially over. Another inside told TMZ Diddy felt betrayed by both Cassie and Alex.
They clicked immediately
An insider told Vogue that Cassie and Alex immediately clicked and started talking about marriage right off the bat. In June 2019, only a few months after going Instagram official, they announced they were expecting their first child. Alex posted a letter to his unborn daughter on his Instagram. He wrote, “I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever.”
If that wasn’t sweet enough, he posted a letter to Cassie, in which he wrote, “I promise you that I will do every single thing in my power to support you and help you.” He also added that Cassie would never be alone and he will show their children how to be in a healthy relationship. He also promised to always give Cassie and their children his undivided attention and he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
Only two months after announcing her pregnancy, People magazine reported the couple was engaged. Cassie later told Vogue Alex told her to meet him at a location to celebrate her birthday. When she arrived, he came riding up on a horse and got down on one knee. Cassie said, “I will never forget how special Alex made me feel that night.”
Wedding bells
Cassie and Alex were joined in holy matrimony in September 2019 during a secret ceremony in Malibu. According to CNN, Cassie wore an off-the-shoulder gown and Alex sported a black tuxedo.
On December 6, 2019, Cassie gave birth to their daughter, Frankie Stone Fine. And days after Frankie’s 1st birthday, the couple shared they were expecting baby number two. She gave birth to their daughter Sunny Cinco Fine on March 22, 2021.
In celebration of Alex’s birthday on March 12, 2021, Cassie poured her heart out in an Instagram post. In her caption, she said there had been nonstop love and laughter since they first met. She credited Alex for teaching her how not to take herself so seriously and how to enjoy every moment. She added, “Thank you for making me a Mama and being the best Dada.”
The Fine household is pretty busy with a newborn and a toddler, and Cassie and Alex have their hands full. We’re not surprised Cassie is in no rush to have a third baby. She told Babe by Hatch, “But after this, I need my body back for a minute before even considering another.”
We wish Cassie, Alex, and their family nothing but the best!
