A POIGNANT COVER FOR ESSENCE

Diddy posed for the cover with his 12-year-old twin daughters with Porter, D’Lila Star Combs, and Jessie James Combs; and his daughter, Chance Combs, also 12, with stylist Sarah Chapman.

The event must have been poignant for Diddy, who last graced a cover of Essence alongside Porter in 2016.

Porter and Diddy share son Christian, 20, and the twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James, 12.

The family also includes Porter’s son with singer Al B. Sure!, Quincy Brown, 27, and Diddy’s son with celebrity stylist Misa Hylton Brim, Justin Combs, 25.

Diddy's 12-year-old daughter, Chance, whom he shares with Chapman, was born just weeks before the twins, giving rise to Porter and the rapper's breakup.

“That betrayal really affected Kim. There were days I thought I may have lost my best friend. The healing took time,” said Diddy.

Sadly, though the couple was in a good place, Porter passed away before Diddy could reconcile with the love of his life.
