The 38-year-old actress already has daughters Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 3, with Alex Fine and revealed while celebrating her husband’s birthday that they are going to have their first son. This will make their family a household of five, joining the growing trend of celebrities expanding their families in 2025.

Cassie first announced her pregnancy in July. The revelation came after months of speculation from fans who had noticed subtle changes in her recent public appearances.
At the time, she shared a series of images from a professional photoshoot to show off her blossoming baby bump with her two young children sweetly seen cozying up to their mom’s bare pregnant stomach and her husband hugging her belly. The family photoshoot showcased the intimate bond between the growing family.
Cassie simply captioned the post: “#3,” along with a pregnant lady and blue heart emoji, signifying the gender of the unborn tot. Pregnancy announcements with subtle gender reveals have become increasingly popular among celebrities, with many opting for minimalist captions to share their news.
The couple’s exciting baby news came after a difficult time for Cassie as she’s had to relive her ordeal with embattled ex Sean “Diddy” Combs. Her resilience through this challenging period has been praised by mental health advocates and domestic violence awareness organizations.
Diddy was hit with allegations including physical abuse by Cassie in a November 2023 lawsuit, which he settled out of court a day after it was lodged. The case brought significant attention to issues of power dynamics in the entertainment industry, with several advocacy groups citing it as an important moment for accountability.
“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” Cassie wrote in a statement shared to Instagram days later. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue.” Her candid statement has resonated with many survivors of domestic abuse.
“It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” she continued in her statement. Mental health professionals have noted that her openness about the recovery process has helped destigmatize seeking help for trauma.
Cassie and Alex Fine began dating in late 2018 and announced their engagement in August 2019. The couple married just two weeks later in an intimate Malibu ceremony officiated by director Peter Berg. Their relationship has been described as a beautiful testament to their deep connection.
Fine, a personal trainer and fitness entrepreneur, has built a reputation as a dedicated family man, frequently sharing glimpses of their family life on social media. His business ventures in the wellness industry have expanded alongside his growing family.
The couple has been open about their parenting journey, occasionally sharing milestones of their daughters while maintaining their privacy. Child development experts have commended their approach to raising children in the public eye while establishing clear boundaries.
As they prepare to welcome their first son, sources mention they have been busy preparing a nursery with a nature-inspired theme. The baby boy is reportedly due in early spring, joining the wave of celebrity babies expected in 2025.
Friends of the couple have shared that Frankie and Sunny are excited about their roles as big sisters, with the family creating special rituals to include them in the preparation for their brother’s arrival. Parenting experts note that such inclusion is beneficial for helping siblings adjust to a new family dynamic.
