Things seemed like they were going great for Kim and Puff Daddy but something came in between them. They got separated when Porter found out that her husband fathered a child with another woman. As a result of his infidelity, Sean was sued and ordered to pay a child support amount of $42,000. The money is equally distributed between his son, who gets $20,000 and his daughters who get the remaining $22,000.

She left the relationship in a dramatic way, she waited until Sean was out of town and then she packed up the house. She took the cars, the nursery furniture, the kitchen table, and everything that she could. In an interview with Essence, Kim explained how her breakup with Puff Daddy happened. “There was no other way. You think he would have let me walk out the door? He wouldn’t have wanted me to go. I wasn’t scared. Not at all. But I wanted to be dramatic. I wanted him to know I wasn’t breaking up with him for two weeks or maybe leaving for two days. If I pack up everything twins and all, it means I’m out! Puffy’s an action person, not a talk person. So I had to have an action. Telling him, “Babe, I’m leaving” was not gonna do it.

When asked how they were getting along since the breakup, Kim said, “You know how when two people go their separate ways, most of the time there’s animosity? It’s not like that with us. Sean and I have this bond, this friendship. It’s not about ‘if you’re faithful to me, if I’m being faithful to you.’ We’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his inner most thoughts to and he’s that person for me. He still calls me everyday and we talk. There’s no ill feeling or ‘I can’t stand you, I hate you, don’t call.’ There’s none of that. We have three children together so that’s just not an option. We’re committed to our children even if we couldn’t commit to each other.”

Personal Life

It was rumored that even though they are separated, Sean insisted on spending time with his children, especially on their birthdays. Kim on the other hand has been sued twice in the course of 2 months by her nannies for a variety of reasons such as excessive workload, underpayments and other issues. Despite of her relatively mature age, the nannies claim that Kim was using drugs in front of her children.
