Diddy’s representative confirmed Porter’s death and asked that the family be given “privacy at this time”.

A source close to the pair told People late Thursday: “Diddy is devastated and shocked. He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work… they were still a family.”
