Cassie has revealed she is expecting her third child with husband Alex Fine.
The singer, 38, announced the news with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday as she showed off her blossoming baby bump while posing with children Frankie, four, and Sunny, two.
The joyous news comes three months after Cassie settled a lawsuit with her ex-boyfriend and alleged abuser Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Disgraced rapper Combs, 54, is currently behind bars after he was charged with a host of sex trafficking and racketeering offenses following his September 16 arrest. As it stands, he will remain in prison ahead of his May 2025 trial.
Me & U singer Cassie played a pivotal role in Combs’ downfall after she accused him of repeated physical abuse and rape in a bombshell $30million lawsuit last November.

R&B singer Cassie had been in a long-term on-off relationship with Combs for 11 years.
They secretly started dating in 2007, two years after first meeting when Cassie was just 19.
Their romance became public knowledge in 2012. They split in 2018.
Cassie filed a lawsuit against Combs for ‘rape, and of repeated physical abuse over about a decade’ on November 16, 2023, which indirectly explained her musical elusiveness.
In the filing, she claimed that just before the end of their relationship, he forced his way into her home and raped her.
Her lawsuit described in detail how he allegedly drugged her, intimidated her and forced her to have sex with male sex workers in front of him throughout their romance.
Combs settled the case just one day later.
In March, shocking surveillance footage emerged, showing Combs violently attacking Cassie at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
Combs, wearing only a towel, can be seen chasing her down the hall before grabbing her at the back of the head and slamming her into the ground.
Cassie addressed the chilling video in a statement, which read: ‘Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet. The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning.
‘Domestic Violence is the issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.’

At the time of Combs’ arrest last month, a source close to Cassie – who married fitness trainer Alex Fine in 2019 – said it had not been a cause for celebration for her.
‘She is relieved that the case has escalated but she isn’t celebrating,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.
‘She is upset that people didn’t listen to other alleged victims in the 90s because she would have been spared.’
‘Cassie is taking time away to focus on her peace because the details of the case are triggering,’ the source added.
She was also said to be ‘hurt’ by the baby oil jokes and memes made after Federal agents claimed they confiscated ‘1,000 bottles’ of baby oil and lubricant from Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles – believed to be used in his ‘Freak Offs.’
