Sean Combs Back on the Market

By: Shannon Gossage

Combs’ publicist confirmed the split on Tuesday, giving no reason why the couple had called it quits this time around. Porter moved out of the hip-hop mogul’s Manhattan home and into a new home in Los Angeles. The couple has three children together – 9-year old Christian and twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James, 7 months. Porter has a teenage son, Quincy, from a previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure and Combs has a 13-year old son, Justin, with ex Misa Hylton-Brim.

Rumors of a split surrounded Combs and Porter after he was reportedly spotted getting very cozy with actress Sienna Miller. Reps for Combs’ have denied that there is anything romantic between him and Miller saying, "There is literally nothing between them." Miller has also slammed the rumors saying, "I am in love with someone, but not Puff Daddy. He’s just a good friend. Anyway, he has a beautiful girlfriend." Can they really be that close if she doesn’t know that he no longer goes by Puff Daddy?

Combs, 37, and Porter, 36, first broke off their relationship in 1999 and entered into a bitter custody battle over their son Justin. Combs dated Jennifer Lopez for two years while he was split from Porter. The two reunited in 2003. Combs has made no secret of the fact that he is not ready for marriage. He said in a December interview with Essence magazine that he was not marrying Porter any time soon. Combs said, "I know she deserves to get married, but I’m just not ready. It’s not a reflection on how much I love Kim. It’s just that I’m learning how to be a good boyfriend. When I’m finished with this step, I’ll move on to the next." Maybe she simply got tired of waiting for him to grow up…
