As Cassie Ventura continues her powerful court testimony against ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs, an old video of her tearfully hugging her husband Alex Fine has gone viral. The embrace has taken on new meaning, showing a story of healing, strength, and support.
The video comes from 2019, just after Alex Fine completed a grueling 50-mile marathon. He ran it to raise money and awareness for victims of domestic violence — inspired by Cassie’s and his mother’s experiences. When he crossed the finish line, Cassie rushed into his arms, crying. That hug is now being seen as a symbol of pain, survival, and love.

Now we know what that hug was REALLY about

Today, that emotional hug is being remembered as Cassie faces her past in a courtroom.
Alex hasn’t just shown support in private — he’s spoken out boldly. He said in a social media post:
“Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men… To all the survivors, your stories are real, and people believe you.”
This statement, combined with his daily presence in court and past activism, shows his firm stand with Cassie and all survivors.
Cassie and Alex got married in 2019. The couple is now raising two daughters and looking forward to welcoming their third baby soon. Cassie has called this chapter of her life “better than anything I ever dreamed.” Together, they’ve built a safe, loving home — a world away from the pain of her past.
