CELEBRITY Kim porter
Sean "Diddy" Combs and Kim Porter were a popular on-and-off-again couple from 1994 to 2007, well-known and loved in the most famed circles of actors and musicians. The former model, singer and actress from Georgia was found dead November 15 in her LA home, victim to cardiac arrest, at the age of 47.
According to TMZ, Diddy is destroyed over the news. His connection with the mother of three of his children remained strong after they split, still celebrating holidays, vacationing, and regularly hanging out with each other. They cared for and respected each other so much that they never had a formal custody agreement, choosing to instead accommodate one another's schedules.
Now, celebrities are making their deepest condolences known to support their friend in this heartbreaking time. Diddy's longtime friend, 50 Cent, tweeted, "R.I.P to Kim Porter, I send my condolences to her friends and family. She was loved and will be missed dearly. I know Puff is hit right now, he loved her for real, soul mate type shit. Chin up puff, Positive vibes only."
