Kim Porter, former model and Diddy's ex and mother of their three kids, has died at 47

Kim Porter, the actress-model who was Diddy's partner off and on for 13 years and mother to three of his children, has died at age 47, The Times confirmed Thursday.

"Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter," a rep for Diddy said in a statement. "I ask that you give the families privacy at this time."

There has been no further reaction from the hip-hop mogul on social media.

Porter's body was found by law enforcement officials around midday Thursday at her Toluca Lake home, according to TMZ, which first reported the news. A source allegedly linked to Porter told TMZ she'd been suffering from pneumonia recently.

The cause of death was still unknown. Police could not be reached immediately.

Diddy and Porter, who dated on and off starting in 1994, finally called it quits in 2007. In addition to twin girls and a boy with Diddy, Porter has one other son from a previous relationship with Al B. Sure.
