In a whirlwind of emotions, Alex Fine, who tied the knot with Cassie in 2019—just after her split from Diddy—has found himself in the spotlight, and not for the reasons one might hope.
After enduring four grueling days of testimony that laid bare the alleged abuse Cassie endured at the hands of Sean "Diddy" Combs, Fine has finally decided to share his thoughts. It’s a lot to unpack, really, especially considering the couple is expecting their third child while Cassie is in her eighth month of pregnancy.

On Friday, as the trial wrapped up its first week, Fine released a statement that was both poignant and powerful. He directed his words not just to Combs but also to those who have supported him, saying, “You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room.” It’s a bold declaration, one that seems to resonate with the strength Cassie has shown throughout this ordeal.
Fine also touched on the “speculation online” regarding his feelings while listening to Cassie recount her traumatic experiences. “I have felt so many things sitting there,” he expressed, revealing a mix of pride, love, and a deep-seated anger at the situation. It’s hard to imagine the emotional toll of hearing such graphic testimony about someone you love.
He made it clear that he didn’t see himself as Cassie’s savior, countering claims that he had rescued her. “To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie,” he asserted. It’s a powerful reminder that the journey to healing is often a personal one, filled with struggles that only the individual can face.

Fine continued, emphasizing Cassie’s resilience: “She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats.” His words carry weight, highlighting the immense strength it takes to confront such demons. “All I have done is love her as she has loved me,” he added, which is a beautiful sentiment, really.
Fans have rallied around Fine, applauding his unwavering support for Cassie—not just during this trial but throughout her entire journey. It’s worth noting that back in 2016, after a disturbing video surfaced showing Combs attacking Cassie, Fine took to Instagram to make a statement: “Men who hit women aren't men.” And in 2019, he even ran a marathon to raise awareness about domestic violence, a testament to his commitment to the cause.
In his recent statement, Fine reiterated Cassie’s bravery, saying, “You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls.” It’s a touching reminder of the love and joy that still exists amidst the chaos.
