Who are Sean 'Diddy' Combs' seven children? Some show support for father at court

The sex trafficking trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has officially begun seven months after the rapper’s arrest.

The 55-year-old is accused of forcing women into protracted sexual orgies he referred to as "freak-offs" and is facing charges of sex trafficking and prostitution.

Just a month before the trial began, the star officially turned down the US government's offer to enter a guilty plea and avoid a lengthy prison term.

Judge Arun Subramanian asked Diddy if he had turned down the plea offer from the prosecution, to which he said: "Yes, I do, your honour. Thank you."

Among his entourage of support in this first week of the trial are some of his children. Overall, Combs has had seven children with four women.

In December, Diddy's six oldest children issued a joint statement that said the situation has "devastated our family”.

"Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media," the statement, which was obtained by PEOPLE, said. "We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD. Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, Jessie & D'Lila."

Here’s a rundown of the singer’s seven kids.

Quincy Taylor Brown, at 33-years-old, is P Diddy’s eldest child.

The actor, singer and model is not Diddy’s biological son. He was born to model Kim Porterand singer, songwriter and record producer Al B who began dating Diddy when he was just three and eventually Diddy adopted Quincy.

He has spoken about how his adopted dad has inspired him.

In a chat with People Magazine he said: "I think I've been a sponge, and now I do so much. I'm very much into the art of acting, and then there's music. But just seeing how he's able to handle and juggle all these things, I took that from him as my most major takeaway."

Justin Brown is 30 years old and is Diddy's first child with stylist and fashion designer Misa Hylton .

He appeared on MTV hit show My Super Sweet 16 alongside his dad and attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he earned a bachelor's degree in sociology, becoming the first of the Combs family to graduate college.

He is also known for his acting career, appearing in season three of Power Book II: Ghost as the character King and hosted the 2021 TV series, Respectfully Justin, interviewing celebrity guests like Saweetie, Chris Brown and others.

Christian is Diddy and Kim Porter's first biological child together. The 26 year old now works as musical artist and goes by the name King Combs.

When asked in the past about the biggest lesson Christian has learned from his dad, he told PEOPLE: "I would say the biggest lesson is never stop. Can't stop, won't stop. That's what it is."

Diddy has 18-year-old twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, from his relationship with the the late model and actress Porter. Diddy and Porter had an on-off relationship from 1994 to 2007. Porter died aged 47 of lobar pneumonia in 2018.

Jessie and D’Lila share an Instagram account called The Combs Twins where they post dance routines and pictures in matching outfits to their 700,000 followers. The pair celebrated new year on a yacht in Saint Barthelemy in the Caribbean. “2025 is OUR year,” they wrote on Instagram.

The pair are in their senior year at Sierra Canyon, a private high school in Los Angeles, where they are on the cheerleading team.

The twins have also used their platform to defend of their father. In September a posthumous memoir was published on Amazon that was alleged to be written by Porter. Lost Words – The Untold Story in Kim’s Words was said to be based on Porter’s diary and published by producer Todd Christopher Guzze, who claims he received a flash drive from Porter.

In the memoir there were claims that Diddy was violent towards Porter. This led to the pair’s three children releasing a joint statement calling the book fake.

“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue,” said the children. “Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.”

The twins turned 18 just before Christmas and are said to be being looked after by a close friend of Porter’s called Lala in Los Angeles.

Diddy has another 18-year-old daughter, Chance, with businesswoman Sarah Chapman. Chance grew up in Los Angeles and attended Sierra Canyon along with Jessie and D’Lila, which she graduated from last summer. She is an aspiring actress and is now enrolled at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Chance has also spoken in support of her father in posts with her siblings. In October, they wrote in a joint statement: “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”

The rapper’s youngest child is two-year-old Love, whose mother is Dana Tran. Tran works in the cybersecurity industry and the pair never officially confirmed that they were together. She runs an Instagram page for Love which includes the toddler playing with her siblings and posing in fancy dress. The toddler already has 97,000 followers.

Back in November Diddy spent his birthday in jail and his children got together to call him. A video posted online shows Love singing him Happy Birthday before kneeling over to take a bite out of his birthday cake.

After his children wish him a happy birthday, Diddy says: “'I love y'all, I can't wait to see y'all. I'm proud of y'all, especially the girls, all of y'all, but just for being strong, thank you for being strong.”

“Thank you for being by my side and supporting me, I got the best family in the world,” he added.
