It is with great sadness that we announced that Kim Porter, who dated Sean “Puffy” Combs for many years before their 2007 split and was also mother to four of his children, was found dead in her home on Thursday. She was 47.

Kim worked as both a model and an actress, and she made appearances on Diddy’s show, “I Want to Work for Diddy.”

Diddy’s rep Cindi Berger tells us, “Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.”

Our prayers and thoughts goes out to the Porter and Comb’s family.
