The news was confirmed to 'ABC News' by a source close to the couple. Details about the baby have not been shared yet.
The 38-year-old went into labour just two weeks after her explosive testimony in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of her ex-boyfriend Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a case which has brought to light allegations of abuse in their relationship.
Ventura, who had a decade-long on-and-off relationship with the embattled rapper, was called as the prosecution's first witness in his sex trafficking trial as she was eight months pregnant.
The entertainer and Fine, who is a wellness consultant, announced their pregnancy in February 2025, sharing photos of their daughters Frankie Stone Fine and Sunny Cinco Fine on Instagram, captioned with a pregnant woman and blue heart emoji.
The couple tied the knot in 2019 and are now embracing this new addition to their family.
During her testimony, Ventura revealed the complexities of her abusive relationship with Combs. She stated that she was caught off guard when the rapper asked her to participate in his 'freak-offs'
The 'Long Way 2 Go' singer described her reaction to Combs' request, stating that she felt a strong sense of dread, saying: 'I just remember my stomach falling to my butt.'

Summer Walker fires back at body-shaming trolls: a TikTok tale of body positivity
American singer Summer Walker defended herself after she was body-shamed recently on TikTok and shared that she will not be changing anything about herself. Image: X American singer Summer Walker took to Instagram recently as she clapped back at online users who were making fun of her body and claiming that she has a botched BBL. She wrote via her Instagram stories that despite the negative comments about her body, she loves it and won't be changing anything about it. 'I love my body with a fiery burning passion. Please get over it. I'm not changing or reducing anything. Idk (I don't know) why it would bother you if we're not intimate & you don't even know me in real life, but please block me if it offends you or keep scrolling,' Walker said. She further added that if she does not invest her time or energy into people she does not like, then why are people doing that if they do not like her? A screenshot of Summer Walker responding to online critics who claimed that she has a botched BBL. Image: Instagram This comes after the 'Playing Games' singer shared a fun TikTok video wearing a Dior swimsuit, which showcased her body. This video was met with a lot of backlash online as online users made remarks about her body and claimed that her BBL looks just as bad as the person she was making fun of just a month ago. 'That time she was judging Wandi,' @bkoetz commented. @michellekoopa wrote: 'Moes o tshwana le Wandi (She looks just like Wandi)' While @thandolwethuv added: 'Imagine, she was making fun of Wandi.' In June, Walker mocked South African reality TV star, Wandi Ndlovu's BBL last month via her Instagram stories and shared a side-by-side picture of Ndlovu's real body being photoshopped to chicken thighs. While the multi-award winning singer found the post funny, netizens did not and instead turned things around as they also made fun of her BBL. A few days later, Ndlovu shared a conversation between her and the singer, who clarified that she shared the post because she thought it was funny. 'Girl, I just wanna say that I think you're beautiful and yo body looks great, I don't know who you are but I just thought it was hilarious that someone photoshopped roasted seasoned chicken thighs on someone lmao like that's so ridiculous.
