The singer first teased the public with their romance two moths after confirming breakup with Sean Combs.
A year later in 2019, the couple got married followed by the birth of their two daughters, Frankie Stone Fine and Sunny Cinco Fine.
Cassie is currently with months pregnant with their third child and has asked for privacy as she focuses on completing the remaining journey of her pregnancy.
Experiences that shaped Alex into a fine gentleman
Long before the Diddy scandal and subsequent trial shook the world, Alex penned a blog in which he expressed his experience growing around domestic violence.
It is this painful lived experience through that shaped his world view on protection, emotional safety and the man he wants to be.
"When I got the news that my mom had been the victim of domestic abuse and violence, I really didn’t know how to handle it. I was angry - part of me wanted to hurt the person who did this to her and the other part of me felt paralyzed." Fine wrote back in 2020.
Rather than allowing the intense anger to make him crack, Fine channeled it into running a marathon for domestic violence.
Unknown to many, the experience of listening and watching a loved one relive the horrors of abuse is not new to Alex having seen his mother give her testimony.
Watching the trial drag on for three years, and seeing my mom have to relive the memories of that violence over and over again over those three years was one of the most helpless feelings I’ve felt. I didn’t want to give in to those paralyzing feelings. So, I decided to channel my anger and feelings of helplessness by running fifty miles to bring awareness and hopefully raise some money for other victims of domestic violence.
Support for Cassie

Men who hit women aren't men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren't men. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Men who hurt women hate women
The incident opened Diddy's Pandora's box with the authorities closing in on the hip-hop mogul shortly afterwards.
