Sean “Diddy” Combs is receiving support from his family as his criminal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial got underway on Monday, with all six of his adult children present at the courthouse in New York City.
The rapper and entrepreneur has seven children in total, whom he co-parents with Misa Hylton, Sarah Chapman, and Dana Tran. His ex-girlfriend Kim Porter died in 2018 from lobar pneumonia.
“I’ve been blessed to be taught and mentored by the mothers of my children,” Combs told Teen Vogue the following year. “I’ve realized that in doing a lot of praying and asking for prayers and guidance, that it’s going to take a village to surround us with that love and care.”

Quincy Taylor Brown was born to Kim Porter and Albert Joseph Brown III (aka producer Al B. Sure!) in 1991. He is the namesake of musical legend Quincy Jones, who mentored his father.
Porter and Combs began their longtime on-and-off relationship in 1994. Combs has said he adopted Porter’s son when Quincy was still a toddler, although Brown has claimed the adoption was never official. (In the Peacock documentary, “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” Brown says the adoption narrative was “crafted by a publicist” to make Combs look more parental.)
In 2018, Quincy published an open letter for GlobalGrind.com, in which he opened up about his relationship with Combs.
“Sean Combs, also known as ‘Diddy,’ has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember,” he wrote. “He is the one who helped mold me into the person I am today and I will always try to live up to his expectations.”
Quincy currently works as a singer, songwriter, and actor. He has appeared in “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” on Starz and the FOX musical hit “Star.”

Combs dated Misa Hylton, a stylist and fashion designer, in the early ’90s. She gave birth to their son, Justin Combs, in 1993.
The couple appeared in the music video for “Big Poppa” by The Notorious B.I.G., who was a close friend of Combs’ before his death. Justin also appeared in the music video for Biggie’s 1994 single “Juicy.”
More recently, Justin worked as the executive producer behind the interview series “Respectfully, Justin” on Revolt TV, the network his father co-founded in 2013.

Christian Combs has continued in his father’s musical footsteps, performing under the name King Combs.
His 2022 single “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” shares the same title as a 1998 hit by The LOX featuring Christian’s father (who was going by Puff Daddy at the time).
He also joined Combs onstage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. The father-son duo teamed up for renditions of “Bad Boy for Life” and “Mo Money Mo Problems.” They later dedicated their performance to Porter.

Sarah Chapman was a close friend of Combs when she welcomed their daughter, Chance Combs, in 2006. At the time, Combs was still dating Porter, who was also pregnant. Porter has said his infidelity was a major factor in their split.
As an adult, Chance has remained close with her half-siblings and pursued a career in fashion. She starred in a “Clueless”-inspired campaign for Glam-Aholic Lifestyle, a Black-owned luxury handbag brand, alongside her twin sisters.
Porter also gave birth to twin daughters, D’Lila Star Combs and Jessie James Combs, in 2006.

Porter and Combs appeared on the cover of Essence together during her pregnancy with the twins. D’Lila Star and Jessie James were born five months after their older sister, Chance.
The two girls have followed in their mother’s glamorous footsteps. Along with Chance, they walked in a 2021 Dolce & Gabbana fashion show and aspire to become full-time models.
They also joined their father onstage at the 2023 VMAs, dancing during his performance of “I’ll Be Missing You.”

He added that his family members were thrilled about their newest addition.
“Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest,” he wrote.
Although Combs did not announce the identity of Love Sean’s mother, TMZ reported that her name is Dana Tran, a cybersecurity professional.
