Sean Love Combs has seven children.
Combs cherishes fatherhood and credits it with positively impacting his life. He called it "a day-to-day thing that's been teaching me patience and teaching me grace," in an interview with Teen Vogue in 2019.
He co-parents with Sarah Chapman and Misa Hylton, who he said have offered him support in the aftermath of losing the mother of four of his children, Kim Porter, in 2018.
"I've been blessed to be taught and mentored by the mothers of my children," he told Teen Vogue.
Quincy Taylor Brown was born in 1991. He is Diddy's adopted son with Kim Porter and an accomplished actor.
Quincy Taylor Brown was born to Kim Porter and Albert Joseph Brown III, aka Al B. Sure!, in 1991. He is the namesake of musical legend Quincy Jones, who mentored his father.
He was a toddler when the model began dating Diddy and Diddy adopted him.
Quincy penned an open letter in which he opened up about his experience growing up with Diddy on GlobalGrind.com in 2018. "Sean Combs, also known as 'Diddy,' has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember," he wrote.
Quincy praised Diddy's parenting efforts. "Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who helped mold me into the person I am today and I will always try to live up to his expectations," he continued.
Quincy is well on the way to doing that as an actor, singer, and songwriter. He is currently starring in "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" on Starz. He previously starred in the FOX musical hit "Star."
He has several successful singles and in 2017 he remixed the biggest single from his other dad, "Nite and Day."
Diddy and Misa Hylton welcomed Justin Combs in 1993.
The Bad Boy label founder dated stylist and fashion designer Hylton in the early nineties. They had their son Justin Combs in 1993. Their family bond was solidified in MTV history.
The couple appeared in the video for "Big Poppa," a single from Bad Boy artist The Notorious B.I.G. and a close friend of Diddy's.
Justin also appeared in the video for "Juicy." Today, he is busy creating his own videos on his dad's Revolt TV as the executive producer behind the popular interview series "Respectfully, Justin."
Diddy and Kim Porter welcomed Christian Combs in 1994.
Diddy and Porter had their son Christian Combs in 1994. Combs, like his older brother Quincy, is continuing the family's musical legacy. He performs under the name King Combs. His single "Can't Stop Won't Stop" features his dad's iconic catchphrase. It has over 45,000 uses on TikTok to date.
Diddy and Sarah Chapman welcomed Chance Combs in 2006.
Combs and entrepreneur Chapman had their daughter Chance Combs in 2006.
Chance is just as stylish as her father. She is currently starring in a Clueless-inspired campaign for Glam-Aholic Lifestyle, a Black-owned luxury handbag brand alongside her sisters D'Lila Star and Jessie.
Diddy and Kim Porter welcomed twins D'Lila Star Combs and Jessie James Combs in 2006.
Porter and Diddy appeared on the cover of Essence together during her pregnancy with the emerging models.
The twins have followed in their mother's glamorous footsteps. They appeared in this year's Dolce & Gabbana fashion show (a gig once held by it girl Lori Harvey) with their sister Chance.
On December 10, 2022, Diddy announced his daughter, Love Sean Combs, was born.
"I'm so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world," wrote Combs on Twitter.
The rapper and philanthropist added that his family was thrilled about the new addition.
"Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D'Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest," he continued.
TMZ reported that the baby girl's mom is Dana Tran, a cyber security professional. According to TMZ, the infant was born on October 15 in Newport, California.
At the 2023 MTV VMAs, Diddy brought his children on stage for an electric performance.
Ahead of the event, at which Diddy became only the third-ever recipient of the Global Icon Award, he was joined on the red carpet by D'Lila, Jessie, Chance, and Justin.
Speaking to E! News, Chance said: "We're proud of everything he's accomplished over all of these years."
"We love you so much, you're our biggest inspiration," she added.
Jessie and D'Lila said: "We're very proud of our dad."
Before picking up his award, Diddy then delivered a career-spanning medley of his greatest hits, during which D'Lila, Jessie, and King, all joined him on the stage.
Jessie and D'Lila danced behind him as he performed "I'll Be Missing You," his 1997 tribute song to the late Notorious B.I.G.
King then stepped out alongside his father for renditions of "Bad Boy for Life" and "Mo Money Mo Problems."
"This is a dream come true for me," Diddy said later, upon accepting his award, which was presented to him by Chance and longtime friend Mary J. Blige.
"You just gotta keep dreaming," he added. "I thank God for this choice that he made for me to be able to touch you with my music, give you a good time, make you dance, make you feel good."
