Fairytales suggest you have to kiss a few frogs before finding a prince charming – Cassie Ventura knows this all too well. The black-haired beauty allegedly faced years of abuse during her relationship with Sean Combs, which ended after a decade in 2018. At the time, the magnitude of Diddy’s exploitation hadn’t come to light, but in November 2023, Cassie filed a bombshell lawsuit against her ex accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking. The R&B singer was under immense scrutiny after speaking out, but thankfully she’s had the man of her dreams by her side to hold her steady through the chaos. Who is Cassie Ventura’s husband? Read on to find out!
Cassie Ventura’s Husband Is a Celebrity Personal Trainer
Alex Fine grew up in Lake Orion, Michigan. The 31-year-old has always been a sports fanatic and played college football at Central Michigan University from 2012-2014. These days, Fine makes a living as a personal trainer, launching his Alex Fine Performance brand in 2015 and attracting celebrity clientele such as Chase Stokes, Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston according to People. As fate would have it, Cassie’s future husband only came into her life because he started training Diddy. In 2018, the “U & Me” hitmaker connected with Fine in the gym, and that same year, she confirmed her split from Combs.
“They hit it off, and she started to open up to him. Alex wanted to be with Cassie,” a source told People of their rapid romance. Just a few months after leaving the Bad Boy, his ex began teasing a new relationship with Fine via Instagram. The entertainer became pregnant shortly after they started dating and made plans to wed before their daughter’s due date. Cassie told Vogue she wasn’t expecting a proposal, but her partner still went above and beyond to make her feel special.
“I knew Alex was designing a ring, but I honestly wasn’t expecting a super elaborate proposal because we already had the wedding date set, but he planned such a beautiful experience for me,” the 38-year-old gushed. Cassie thought she was heading to a birthday dinner with family, but was taken aback when she saw Fine and the Compton Cowboys waiting for her while Stevie Wonder played instead. “When he got down on one knee, everything just stopped. I felt like I lost my sense of hearing; I just saw his mouth moving, and he said ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you.’”
Alex Fine and His Bride Said ‘I Do’ in 2019
Cassie Ventura’s husband joined her and 14 of their closest family members in August 2019 for an “intimate backyard wedding.” The happy couple wrote their own vows and the beautiful bride walked down the aisle to “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Kina Grannis. “I felt really relaxed during the ceremony,” she dished to Vogue. “As soon as I saw Alex, any nerves that I did have went away, and I just couldn’t stop smiling.” Months after the quiet ceremony, the Fine family grew by one with the arrival of Frankie in December.
They moved quickly to give the little one a sibling. Sunny was born in March 2021, and Fine wrote a beautiful Instagram post to his two young girls to mark the special moment. “I woke up this morning with you two and your mama and took a moment to let it sink in that we created the perfect family that isn’t perfect but its filled with so much love,” he reflected. “I always thought my purpose was to inspire others through wellness and give back to those who are less fortunate but I was wrong… Just holding both of you I know you are destined for absolutely amazing things and I’m put on his Earth to support what you two love doing.”
Cassie’s Other Half Has Been by Her Side Through All the Diddy Drama
Though she externally appeared to be moving on from her past with Diddy, Cassie spent years quietly healing from what she allegedly endured. When the time felt right to file a lawsuit, Fine confidently stood behind his wife as the man accused of abusing her settled the damning sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit the next day. Even with such a quick outcome, Cassie still hasn’t been able to put the drama behind her – especially not now that Combs is in police custody and people are desperate for answers.
After a troubling video of the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist attacking his ex in a hotel went viral earlier this year, Cassie Ventura’s husband shared an important message. “Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men,” the Michigan native said. “Our daughters, sisters, mothers and wives should feel protected and loved. Men who hurt women hate women.”
