Most people know Sean “Diddy” Combs as a businessman and music mogul, but not everyone knows he is a parent to seven children with four different women. Two of the star’s children are twins. Here’s what we know about each child, starting with his oldest.

Sean’s eldest child is a son named Quincy Taylor Brown. He was born on June 4, 1991, making him 33 in 2024. The star’s New York City-born son was welcomed by Sean’s former girlfriend, Kim Porter, and her ex-husband, Al B. Sure.

Speaking about his now-late mother, who was a model, Quincy said, “I’m my mom’s son, so therefore there’s so much life for me to expand on off of her life.” He added, “And that journey hasn’t even started yet, which is the best part about it.”

The musician met Quincy’s mother and started dating her when her son was just a child. Quincy has since followed in his biological father and Sean’s entertainment industry footsteps, stating, “One of my passions, I’m very much into the art of acting, and then there’s music.”
Kim’s eldest child described himself as the twins’ uncle, father, manager, and protector. He explained, “I want to be able to really guide them. I want them to really know the layers of everything you can do.”

Quincy said his sisters have shared their passions and where they see themselves, and he was bringing them along on his ride before they branch off on their own path.
Sean’s second child and his first biological one is also a boy.
Justin Combs was born on December 30, 1993, in New York to Sean and Misa Hylton. The now 30-year-old was also the stylist and fashion designer’s first child.
Kim and Sean welcomed their first biological child, Christian Combs, on April 1, 1998, soon after they started dating.

In 2023, Christian showed how he still honored his late mother when he celebrated her birthday by sharing an Instagram photo of himself hugging her as a young boy.
The older rapper was named a defendant in his son’s lawsuit, and both he and Christian claim the allegations are false.
Sean welcomed his first daughter with a third woman a few years later.
Sarah Chapman, a businesswoman, and Sean were friends for years but never openly dated before they welcomed Chance Combs on July 20, 2006.
The pair were also photographed hugging at the event.
Christian celebrated his sister’s achievement, writing, “Congratulations @myfancychance !!! Can’t believe you Graduating [sic] !! I love you & I Got you forever!! 💙 👩🎓.”
After the birth of his first daughter, Sean welcomed two more.
After Chance’s birth, five months later, on December 21, 2006, Kim welcomed identical twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie Combs, with Sean.

In 2021, Sean did a photo shoot with his three daughters for “Vanity Fair.”
He proudly noted how the trio had done a great job and expressed pride in them.
Sean praised them, adding, “You all look simply regal, majestic, beautiful & strong. Words can’t even explain!” He further described himself as “One of the luckiest men in the world!!”
On December 10, 2022, Sean took to X to reveal that he’d welcomed another child. He wrote, “I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world.”
The star added, “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”
For 2023’s Father’s Day, Love appeared in a TikTok clip alongside her older sisters as they wished their father, who stood behind them, a happy day. He captioned the post wishing himself a Happy Father’s Day.
The clip cut off when little Love hilariously grabbed the phone that was recording. Sean encouraged his baby girl, writing, “Go LOVE!!! 🖤🙏🏿✨.”
The last child is a bonus one that was allegedly adopted by Sean.
Ava Baroni Combs
A 2020 clip of Sean recording himself and a girl named Ava Baroni Combs resurfaced in September 2024 amid the rapper’s abuse allegations.

The celebrity is seen next to the White girl, who reveals that she’s Ava and a Scorpio.

The rapper then asks her to reveal her last name, and that’s when she says his name.
He claimed it was “breaking news” that he “adopted a White child.” Even though Ava still has her biological parents, the father of seven said she was his child too.

Ava explained how she met the music mogul saying she was on the streets when “Papa Combs decided that he’d like to be a caring man.”

Sources claim Sean never legally adopted Ava or played a parental role in her life.

He’s also not been in her life recently as her family has kept their distance from the troubled rapper.
Despite not having Ava’s support Sean’s children have shown up for him amid his legal woes.
In late September, Justin, Quincy, and Christian appeared in court to support their father. That same month, Kim’s children released a social media statement defending their late mother and her relationship with their father.
They revealed she never wrote a tell-all book exposing the rapper and warned against so-called “friends” speaking to the press on their behalf. The twins and their two brothers asked fans not to make a spectacle of Kim’s legacy and to allow her to rest in peace.
