In a heartwarming display of love and support, Alex Fine embraced his wife, Casandra Cassie Ventura Fine, after completing an impressive 50-mile ultra marathon from Compton to Malibu, California. This remarkable feat, accomplished in August 2019, was aimed at raising funds for the Haven Shelter in Pontiac, Michigan, which provides assistance to victims of domestic violence. Fine shared on a GoFundMe page created with his mother, Pam Parker Fine, “They were kind enough to provide help and support to my mama, and I’m giving back by running an Ultra Marathon (50 miles) in honor to raise awareness for Domestic Violence Victims.”
Following the run, Alex Fine, 32, posted a touching video of himself hugging Cassie, 38, captioning it with heartfelt words: “Just the person I needed with me the whole time. Wow, I am so lucky to be able to hug her after this. She makes me better in every way.” His efforts were not in vain, as he successfully raised over $55,000 for the Haven Shelter, highlighting the importance of supporting domestic violence survivors.
This week, fans found new significance in Alex Fine's post-marathon celebration as Cassie testified in a federal sex-crimes trial involving her ex-boyfriend, Sean Diddy Combs. During her testimony, Cassie shared harrowing details of abuse, resonating deeply with many survivors who saw their own struggles reflected in her story. Alex Fine and Cassie first crossed paths at the gym, and their love blossomed after her breakup with Combs in the fall of 2018.
Following their split, Cassie publicly debuted her relationship with Fine on Instagram, sharing a sweet snapshot of the couple kissing, alongside a photo with her mother, Regina Ventura. During the trial, it was revealed that Combs had initially hired Fine to train Cassie, further intertwining their lives. The couple celebrated their love with a beautiful backyard wedding in Malibu in October 2019, with Cassie looking radiant in an off-the-shoulder gown. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Frankie, in December of the same year, and their second daughter, Sunny, in March 2021.
During her emotional testimony, Cassie disclosed that she had contemplated taking her own life in recent years but was saved by the unwavering support of her husband, Alex Fine. She recounted a painful moment when she expressed to Fine, “You can do this without me,” but he wouldn’t let her go. Cassie’s testimony painted a vivid picture of her struggles, illustrating the profound impact of domestic violence on mental health.
Three days prior to filing a significant civil lawsuit against Combs, Cassie shared a poignant photo on social media captioned simply, “Casandra Fine.” This act came after a CNN surveillance video surfaced showing Combs engaging in violent behavior toward her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. In response, Alex Fine issued a powerful message to domestic violence survivors: “To all the survivors, find the men and women who help and love. Your stories are real, and people believe you.”
The couple attended a date night at the London premiere of Fine’s Paramount+ show, MobLand, in March. In recent years, Alex has explored acting roles, including a character in the Yellowstone spinoff, 1883. As the trial against Combs unfolded, Alex stood by Cassie's side, showcasing his unwavering support. After her testimony concluded, he spoke through their lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, expressing immense pride in his wife’s bravery and a deep anger towards those who have harmed her.
“You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room,” Fine emphasized, acknowledging Cassie’s strength in overcoming her past. He clarified, “I did not save Cassie, as some have said. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done.”
In February, the couple announced they were expecting a third child, a boy. “We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we welcome our son into a world that is now safer because of his mom,” Fine stated. This news reflects the couple’s journey towards healing and building a loving family.
