Alex Fine and Cassie’s paths reportedly crossed when Diddy, then her boyfriend, hired him as his personal trainer. He then also became Cassie’s personal trainer. “They hit it off, and she started to open up to him,” the People insider said. “Alex wanted to be with Cassie.” In a 2019 interview with Vogue, Cassie simply said she met Fine at the gym. Cassie perhaps prefers to be vague about how she met the trainer because the beginning of their relationship was a contentious subject in the aftermath of her split from Diddy.
Given that Cassie met Fine while she was still with Diddy, the latter accused her of cheating. While Cassie split from Diddy months before she went public with her relationship with Fine in December 2018, he believes the romance began earlier. “Cassie wanted a personal trainer, so Diddy hired Alex for her. Then Cassie and Alex started hooking up before her relationship with Diddy was over,” a source told People in January 2019. In Diddy’s eyes, “there was absolutely overlap” in the relationships, the insider added.
Sources close to Cassie, however, denied the accusations. But, regardless of the timeline of her involvement with Fine, Cassie had reportedly been trying to end things with Diddy for quite some time when she met her now-husband. “She was looking for an out for many years and didn’t know how to get out of the relationship,” the insider told People in the 2023 report.
