Sean "Diddy" Combs' children have taken to social media to express their unwavering support for their father amid the serious allegations of sex crimes against him.

In a heartfelt statement posted on October 22, Diddy's children shared their thoughts via Instagram. The post featured a photo featuring Diddy with his family. His children acknowledged the emotional toll the case has taken on them, writing, "The past month has devastated our family."
They also addressed the public scrutiny surrounding the case. Diddy's children stated that many have rushed to judge the rapper and the family based on "accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media."
Despite the weight of these claims, the post conveyed the family's unified stance, "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."

However, amid the outpouring of support, a few critics weighed in, expressing different views. "It's terrible that the family has to suffer because of someone else's bad behavior," one commenter pointed out, highlighting the tension surrounding the case.

On October 10, Diddy's family traveled to New York City to stand by his side during a crucial federal court hearing. His mother, Janice Combs, flew in from Florida, joining his children in the courtroom to show their support.
Their presence in the federal courthouse in Manhattan made a strong statement about their commitment to standing by him. "The kids were very happy to support their father," a source close to the family told People. "The whole family was. They are united in their support, and he was happy to see them all there."

During the court appearance, Diddy was notably motionless, dressed in tan prison attire. As he left the holding cell area, he acknowledged his family's presence by waving and later hugged his legal team.
While most people know Diddy as a businessman and music mogul, not everyone knows he is a parent to seven children with four different women. Two of the star's children are twins. Here's what we know about each child, starting with his oldest.

Quincy Taylor Brown
Diddy's eldest child is a son named Quincy Taylor Brown. He was born on June 4, 1991, making him 33 in 2024. The star's New York City-born son was welcomed by Diddy's former girlfriend, Kim Porter, and her ex-husband, Al B. Sure.

Speaking about his now-late mother, who was a model, Quincy said, "I'm my mom's son, so therefore there's so much life for me to expand on off of her life." He added, "And that journey hasn't even started yet, which is the best part about it."
The musician met Quincy's mother and started dating her when her son was just a child. Quincy has since followed in his biological father and Diddy's entertainment industry footsteps, stating, "One of my passions, I'm very much into the art of acting, and then there's music."
Justin Combs
Justin was born on December 30, 1993, in New York to Diddy and Misa Hylton. The now 30-year-old was also the stylist and fashion designer's first child.
In 2019, Justin paid tribute to his mother on her birthday by sharing a picture of her holding him when he was a little boy.
He captioned the Instagram post, "Happy birthday to my twin, my best friend, my mother @misahylton."
Diddy's son said he loved and appreciated Misa more than she'd ever know and thanked her for raising him into the man he is, adding, "I love you so much!!"
Christian Combs
Kim and Diddy welcomed their first biological child, Christian Combs, on April 1, 1998, soon after they started dating.

In 2023, Christian showed how he still honored his late mother when he celebrated her birthday by sharing an Instagram photo of himself hugging her as a young boy.
The now 26-year-old wished her a "HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!! 🎈 ❤️👼." In his touching caption, he noted, "I wish I could be with you right now and hug you and give you love !!! I love you and miss you so much❤️🙏🏾!!! #foreverkp."
In an interview, Christian revealed that he always wished to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a rapper. He admitted, "It's really always been something I wanted to do."
When his father asked if he was sure he wanted to pursue that career path and what his fallback plan was, Christian replied, "There is no plan B."
Chance Combs
Sarah Chapman, a businesswoman, and Diddy were friends for years but never openly dated before they welcomed Chance Combs on July 20, 2006.
In July 2024, Christian showed how supportive he was of his family.
He uploaded several Instagram photos of him celebrating his half-sister's graduation.
The now 18-year-old was seen holding flowers while posing beside her brother in full high school graduation regalia.
The pair were also photographed hugging at the event.
Christian celebrated his sister's achievement, writing, "Congratulations @myfancychance !!! Can’t believe you Graduating [sic] !! I love you & I Got you forever!! 💙 👩🎓."
D'Lila and Jessie Combs
After Chance's birth, five months later, on December 21, 2006, Kim welcomed identical twin daughters, D'Lila and Jessie, with Diddy.

In 2021, the rapper did a photo shoot with his three daughters for "Vanity Fair."
He proudly noted how the trio had done a great job and expressed pride in them.
Diddy praised them, adding, "You all look simply regal, majestic, beautiful & strong. Words can't even explain!" He further described himself as "One of the luckiest men in the world!!"
In 2023, the 17-year-old twins and Chance were interviewed by a magazine where they revealed they had different upbringings from ordinary children who hung out at the mall or played Little League.
Instead, the trio spent their afternoons in recording studios, on music video sets, and red carpets.
With their father being a music mogul, his daughters learned that dedication could build an empire.
Talking about their bond, D'Lila said, "We always have a support system in each other."
She revealed they support one another no matter their goals or future dreams and have an incredible bond.
Love Sean Combs
On December 10, 2022, Diddy took to X to reveal that he'd welcomed another child. He wrote, "I'm so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world."
The star added, "Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D'Lila, Jessie, and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!"
For 2023's Father's Day, Love appeared in a TikTok clip alongside her older sisters as they wished their father, who stood behind them, a happy day. He captioned the post wishing himself a Happy Father's Day.
Later that year, Love was featured again in another TikTok post by her father. This time, her twin sisters danced behind her as she moved her body while standing in front.
The clip cut off when little Love hilariously grabbed the phone that was recording. Diddy encouraged his baby girl, writing, "Go LOVE!!! 🖤🙏🏿✨."
In May 2024, the rapper appeared in an adorable Facebook post where he was seen holding Love in his arms while she was wrapped in a towel. He captioned it, "My Love."
Ava Baroni Combs
A 2020 clip of Diddy recording himself and a girl named Ava Baroni Combs resurfaced in September 2024 amid the rapper's abuse allegations.

The rapper then asks her to reveal her last name, and that's when she says his name.
He claimed it was "breaking news" that he "adopted a White child." Even though Ava still has her biological parents, the father of seven said she was his child too.

Ava explained how she met the music mogul saying she was on the streets when "Papa Combs decided that he'd like to be a caring man."
When he saw her, he picked her up and invited her inside to play with his children, and that's where the clip cut.
Ava reportedly has known D'Lila and Jessie since they were little girls due to Kim knowing her parents.

Sources claim Diddy never legally adopted Ava or played a parental role in her life.

He's also not been in her life recently as her family has kept their distance from the troubled rapper.
Despite not having Ava's support Diddy's children have shown up for him amid his legal woes.
