Their relationship ended in 2007, shortly after the birth of the twins. Following their breakup, Kim moved to Los Angeles with her children, leaving behind the home she had shared with Diddy.

Kim issued a public statement, explaining her decision, “In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was in the best interest of myself, Sean, and our family.”
The breakup was reportedly caused by Diddy’s infidelity. Around the time Kim was pregnant with their twins, she discovered that Diddy had fathered another child with another woman.

Years later in 2015, Diddy reflected on his relationships in an interview on “The Breakfast Club.” He candidly admitted that being with him wasn’t always easy, acknowledging moments of infidelity that created challenges for his partners.
“But then there’s 75 percent of ‘I’ma make you the happiest woman in the whole wide world. I’ma be there to support your dreams, hold you, listen to you, be your best friend. And I promise you’ll smile the most.’ Which deal would you choose?” he said.

This admission provides a glimpse into the dynamics that may have influenced his relationship with Kim, offering context for the ups and downs they experienced together.
But even after the breakup, Kim and Diddy remained committed to co-parenting. Kim herself noted that although they were no longer together romantically, they were friends and maintained daily communication, especially regarding their children.
