Diddy's Son Responded to Rumors of Father's Romance with Lori Harvey — Here's What Christian Said
P Diddy and Lori Harvey sparked dating rumors after being seen together on several occasions. His son, Christian, spoke about their alleged relationship and confirmed that the pair are being private about it.
Lori Harvey is known for being Steve Harvey's daughter, but she is also making her own waves in the modeling industry. Lori has walked the runway for international brands, including Dolce & Gabbana, and attended other fashion shows.
She is also known for famously dating Michael B. Jordan, Trey Songz, and Future, among other celebrities. However, her most recent romance was with her father's longtime friend, P Diddy.
At the start of 2019, Lori and Diddy were spotted together on several occasions, sparking rumors about them dating. Although the pair never confirmed their relationship status, people continued to talk.
The situation was even more awkward since Lori reportedly dated Diddy's son, Justin, in the past. It wasn't until months later that a source confirmed their relationship and that it had ended. The source said:
"[Diddy] and Lori had a fun fling, but Diddy is still healing and focusing on himself right now. He is not ready to be in a long-term committed relationship and is focusing on his kids right now."

WHAT DID P DIDDY'S SON SAY ABOUT HIS DAD AND LORI HARVEY?
Diddy's son from his relationship with the late Kim Porter, Christian Combs, once hinted about his father's romance with Lori during an interview with Hollywood Life.
Porter unexpectedly passed away on November 15, 2018, due to pneumonia. She was 47 when she died in her sleep. Porter watched movies with her family the evening before her passing.
Although he did not give many details when asked about the alleged relationship, he said that the pair were being "private" about it. "They good. They're just being, private time," he added. "That's up to them."
Christian's vague answer did not satisfy many curious minds, but it did confirm that something went on between Diddy and Lori.
The reported couple's relationship went as far as sparking pregnancy rumors after a photo of the musician rubbing Lori's stomach circulated on the internet.
The snaps were taken during a trip to Cabo but were followed by photos of Lori with a flat stomach, killing rumors about a potential pregnancy.
WHO WAS KIM PORTER TO DIDDY?
Before Diddy was linked to the model, the American rapper was in a serious relationship with Porter, the mother of his children. They were longtime partners, dating on and off since the '90s until officially calling it quits in 2007.
However, they remained good friends and parents to their kids. Diddy and Porter had three kids together, Christian, Jessie James, and D'Lila Star.
Sadly, Porter unexpectedly passed away on November 15, 2018, due to pneumonia. She was 47 when she died in her sleep. According to the coroner, Porter watched movies with her family the evening before her passing.

A few years later, Diddy listed their Toluca Lake mansion, where his ex-partner had died, for $7 million. Built in 2006, the East Cost traditional-style home sits on a 9,655 square-foot area. It has six bedrooms with bathrooms and boasts a curve-shaped staircase.
The spacious home has a screening room, spa-like bathroom, master's suite with a fireplace, and many more amenities. Diddy hasn't spent much time in their home since Porter's death and instead lived in their Holmby Hills, Los Angeles mansion.
Although it has been years, Diddy still hasn't forgotten Porter. In 2022, the star paid tribute to the mother of his children at the BET Awards while receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award. According to Diddy, he will always miss Porter.
