The Paternity Scandal That Rocked Diddy And Kim Porter's Romance

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Kim Porter ended her romantic relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs in 2007 after she found out he had been cheating. She ended things shortly after giving birth to their twin girls. The model was open about the breakup in an interview with Essence at the time. "I wanted to be dramatic. I wanted him to know I wasn't breaking up with him for two weeks-or maybe leaving for two days," she told the outlet in 2007. The interviewer asked if Porter leaving had to do with "rumors" that he had a child with another woman. "Well, that definitely was part of it," she responded.

The situation was a messy one, as Combs had a baby girl with a woman in Atlanta — Sarah Chapman — five months before Porter gave birth to his twins. Porter said she suspected the "Bad Boy For Life" rapper had been unfaithful, but waited to confront him due to her own pregnancy. Eventually, Diddy came clean to Porter about having a child with Chapman, and although they broke up, the two remained on good terms. "Sean and I have this bond, this friendship," Porter said.

Initially, Combs was hesitant to claim Chapman's daughter as his own until the paternity results came back. "Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life," he told the New York Daily News in 2007 (via CBS). Somewhat surprisingly, Combs's relationship with Chapman went back many years.
