However, he was never ready to marry her.

“I know she deserves to get married, but I’m just not ready. It’s not a reflection on how much I love Kim. It’s that I’m just learning how to be a good boyfriend. When I’m finished with this step, I’ll move on to the next.”

Separated for Good

Porterl eft Diddy for good for the final time in 2007. She said in a statement at that time, 

“In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was in the best interest of myself, Sean and our family. I look forward to moving on with my life and my career, and wish him prosperity, health and happiness in life and in love. We will remain friends and committed parents to our children.”

Their split was dramatic as she took away everything from the kitchen table to the car and their kids when Diddy was out of town. Despite that, they always came forward as “best friends forever” and manifested their family as a powerful one on every occasion. Reportedly, months before her demise, Porter and Diddy were as tight as ever. Our hearts and prayers are with the family. Rest in peace, Kim Porter!
