Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend, Mother of his Kids, Kim Porter Dead at 47

A representative for Diddy confirmed the news to TMZ, saying, “Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.”

Kim Porter - who has three children with the musician - was discovered at her home in LA following a cardiac arrest.

Porter dated Diddy off-and-on from 1994 to 2007, when they called things off for good. In that time, Porter gave birth to their son Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twin girls D'Lila Star and Jessie James. Porter was also mother to Quincy, 27, from her relationship with Al B. Sure.
