Sean “Diddy” Combs and Misa Hylton dated in the early 1990s, with Diddy working as an intern at Uptown Records and Hylton as a stylist. They welcomed their first child together, son Justin Combs, in 1993, but split shortly after his birth. Following their breakup, Diddy moved on with Kim Porter and had more children, while Hylton was married to JoJo Brim and had two children with him. Despite their separate families, Diddy and Hylton remained co-parents to Justin for years.
In the 1990s, Hylton and Diddy worked together on various projects, with Hylton styling for Diddy’s music videos and influencing the fashion of R&B musicians. Despite their professional collaborations, they ended their romantic relationship after Justin’s birth due to Diddy not being ready to settle down as his career was taking off. In 2010, they reunited to celebrate Justin’s 16th birthday with a star-studded party in New York City.
Hylton attended Diddy’s 50th birthday celebration in 2019, showing that they still maintained a connection through their son Justin. In June 2023, Hylton posted cryptic messages on social media after Justin was arrested for a DUI, hinting at her frustration with the situation. In March 2024, law enforcement raided Diddy’s homes and used force on Justin and his brother Christian, leading Hylton to speak out against the aggressive actions by authorities.
As Diddy’s legal troubles continued in May 2024, a video of him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 surfaced. Hylton showed support for Cassie and expressed her empathy for the situation, highlighting the need for Diddy to seek help and address his behavior. Throughout the years, despite their past relationship and subsequent families, Diddy and Hylton have maintained a co-parenting relationship for their son Justin, showing a commitment to their shared parental responsibilities. Their story serves as an example of navigating complex relationships and prioritizing the well-being of their children despite personal challenges.
