Model Kim Porter, Diddy's former girlfriend and the mother of his children, has died at 47


Model Kim Porter, the former girlfriend of rapper Diddy, has died. She was 47.

"Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time," her representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed to USA TODAY.

TMZ reports that the model and actress was found dead in her Los Angeles area home Thursday after authorities responded to a 911 call of a "patient in cardiac arrest."

LAPD spokesperson Jeff Lee also confirmed to USA TODAY that "homicide detectives are at the scene of 10300 of Woodridge, conducting a death investigation of a female to determine if there is any foul play involved."

 Lee adds that the call came at 11:38 this morning.

Porter had an on-again, off-again relationship with Diddy (born Sean Combs) that spanned over a decade. The pair officially called it quits in 2007 after 13 years of dating, but have remained friendly, often spending holidays together. Porter frequently posted photos of Diddy on her Instagram account.

They have three children together – son Christian and twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James, who turn 12 next month. The music mogul also raised Quincy, Porter's son with record producer and singer Al B. Sure.

USA TODAY has reached out to Diddy's representatives for comment.

Last week, Porter took to Instagram to share a picture of Diddy with his brood of children. She captioned the image, "Love."

Many celebrities took to Twitter to offer their condolences to the family.

Rapper and actor 50 Cent tweeted Porter "was loved and will be missed dearly," adding that "I know Puff is hit right now, he loved her for real, soul mate type (expletive). Chin up puff, Positive vibes only."

Missy Elliott called Porter's death "so heartbreaking," sending prayers to "her kids & her whole family."

Actress Gabrielle Union said the news "awful!" "Praying so hard for her children and her lover ones!! #RIPKimPorter sending so much love to her babies. My God!" she added.

Actress Sanaa Lathan described Porter as a "true light on this earth. Not just beautiful but truly kind and generous of spirit always. Grace personified," sending "prayers for her family."

"The Roots" band member Questlove tweeted: "Yo man.... heart goes out to the family."

TV personality Wendy Williams said, "I just heard the sad news about Kim Porter. My condolences to Diddy and Kim's families. Rest In Peace."

Singer Tevin Campbell said he's "totally shocked" by the news. "Kim Porter has left us. Too young. Nothing but memories of her, my lil bro and I goofing around in the lab with Al B. Heartfelt prayers/condolences to the family especially the kids. Sad," he added.

Rapper Juicy J sent "prayers up for the family."

Rapper Joe Budden said, "RIP Kim Porter smh."

"The Real" talk show said their "thoughts and prayers are with her children, family, and friends."

Ohio State vs. Maryland score, takeaways: No. 10 Buckeyes escape wild battle with overtime win

Image
No. 10 Ohio State is still alive in the Big Ten title race, and for a College Football Playoff berth. Barely. The Buckeyes overcame a lot of the same troubles we've seen them have at times all season to beat Maryland 52-51 in overtime Saturday. The Buckeyes overcame three turnovers and numerous big plays allowed on defense to score a game-tying touchdown in the final minute. Once overtime began, the Buckeyes struck first after going for it on a fourth-and-1 call rather than settling for the field goal. Dwayne Haskins scored from two yards out -- his sixth touchdown of the day -- to give the Buckeyes the lead. Maryland immediately responded with a big run from Anthony McFarland, one of a few on the day for him. McFarland picked up 24 yards on Maryland's first snap to set up a game-tying touchdown. The Terps then went for two, but Tyler Pigrome's throw was off the mark and Ohio State held on to win. The win puts Ohio State at 10-1 on the season with a major showdown
