Breaking News: Cassie Ventura and Alex Fine’s powerful love story is rooted in a shared adversity…see more

Ventura’s husband, Alex Fine, was Combs’ personal trainer before he became Ventura’s trainer, which led to them falling in love.

The two wed in 2019, after her tumultuous relationship with Combs played out, off and on, between 2007 and 2018.

Based on their social media posts and interviews, the relationship Fine and Ventura share is in direct contrast to the horror she says she suffered at the hands of Combs.

As she has testified about those allegations in the federal sex-trafficking trial against Combs this week, Ventura’s husband has been in court supporting her, much like he vowed to do in an open letter he shared on social media in 2019.

“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,” he wrote at the time.

Fine said his “anger” over the abuse is mother endured deeply affected him.

“I didn’t want to give in to those paralyzing feelings,” he wrote. “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.”
