On November 15, 2018, model Kim Porter suddenly passed away, sending shock waves throughout the global hip-hop community and leaving Sean “Diddy” Combs without his soul mate, and four children without their beloved mother.
Still grappling with the extreme grief her untimely passing left behind, Diddy prepares his family for their first Mother’s Day without Kim.
As they struggle to move forward, Diddy, his 12-year-old twin daughters with Porter, D’Lila Star Combs and Jessie James Combs, and his daughter, Chance Combs, 12, with stylist Sarah Chapman, pose together in an intimate portrait for the cover of ESSENCE’s May 2019 Power Issue in celebration of the magazine’s 49th anniversary. Inside the pages of the issue, the entertainment mogul and family man opens his heart to award-winning writer and filmmaker (and longtime friend) dream hampton to share his last moments with Porter, the inner-workings of their incredible love story and how they plan to honor her legacy of love as a united family.
Immediately after her untimely passing, Diddy, 49, tells ESSENCE he “jumped into mommy mode” and hasn’t stopped trying to keep his family together and strong as they mourn their unfathomable loss.
Diddy and Porter, who also share a son, Christian Combs, 21, were never shy about how much they embraced what he calls their blended “unconventional family,” which along with the girls also includes Porter’s son with singer Al B. Sure!, Quincy Brown, 27, and Diddy’s son with celebrity stylist Misa Hylton Brim, Justin Combs, 25. But, getting there wasn’t an easy road for Porter. Diddy also spoke about how Porter had to come around to accepting Chance, who was born weeks before the couple’s twins.
