Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, has been by her side ever since they started dating in 2018.
'I'm a father, husband and actor. Family and work take the most importance and focus in my life,' Fine told Zero the Magazine in January 2025. 'I became the man I am today a lot from the environment I grew up in. My mom and dad are the best, and they let me be independent in a rougher environment.'
Fine and Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) have been married since October 2019, going on to welcome two daughters with another baby on the way as of spring 2025.
In November 2023, Cassie accused ex-boyfriend Sean 'Diddy' Combs of repeated sexual assault and abuse in a lawsuit. He denied the allegations before they settled out of court within a day. Through it all, Fine remained steadfast in Cassie's corner.

'Cassie always thanks her daughters and husband for bringing her healing and happiness. Alex has always been the rock she needed,' a source exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024, noting she sees Fine as a 'true protector' and 'finally feels safe.'
That same month, Fine noted via Instagram that he hopes their children can 'live in a world that's safe for women and girls, protects them and treats them as equals.'
'To the women and children, you're not alone, and you are heard,' Fine added, alongside the phone number to the Domestic Violence Hotline. 'Our daughters, sisters, mothers and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard. … To all the survivors, find the men and women who help and love.'

Fine got his professional start as a personal trainer before pursuing various acting roles. His credits include 1883, The Resurrection of Charles Manson, American Primeval and MobLand.
'I needed to build a steady career to live the life I wanted to while I pursued acting,' he told Zero. 'Some people choose bartending, or valet until they get work, I chose fitness and opening a gym in my garage.'
Fine noted to Zero that his close friends have called him 'Poonie' since childhood for undisclosed reasons. While the moniker is listed on Fine's official Instagram page, he professionally answers to his given name.
Inside the Courtroom Dynamic Between Diddy, Cassie and Her Husband Alex Fine as She Testifies
After a year of dating, Fine proposed in August 2019 when Cassie was pregnant with their first baby. He organized a cowboy-themed setup with the Compton Cowboys equestrian group.
'The first thing I saw was the guys on their horses waving at me,' Cassie told Vogue at the time. 'I looked up and saw our initials tied up above them, then Alex came around on his horse. 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.' I will never forget how special Alex made me feel that night.'
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony that October.
Cassie and Fine welcomed daughters Frankie and Sunny in December 2019 and March 2021, respectively. The couple frequently shares sweet family moments via social media.
In honor of Frankie's 4th birthday, Fine penned a lengthy letter to his firstborn.
'I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever,' he wrote via Instagram in December 2023. 'I never thought my heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother. Then, I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable.'
He added, 'I promise to be at every dance recital, concert, sporting event, school plays whatever you decide to do I will be there and support you. I am your No. 1 fan. I promise to be a man that you and your mother look up to and love. I will always listen and put the both of you first. I will show you a healthy relationship and how you deserve to be treated. I promise to never approve of any boy you like because they will never be good enough for my baby girl. Sorry."
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty.
'We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office,' Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. 'Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.'
When a trial began in May 2025, Cassie delivered a four-day testimony, in which she discussed her accusations and their past relationship at length. Fine was present nearly the entire time, only stepping out when Cassie recalled a 2018 encounter with Diddy while she was already dating Fine. (The defense attorneys previously indicated that Fine might be called as a witness later during the trial.)
At the end of Cassie's testimony, her attorney read aloud a statement written by Fine.
'Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past,' the statement read. 'There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife's testimony. I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.'
He added, 'So to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this. You did not. You did not break her spirit, nor her smile, that lights up every room. You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man.'
