Combs confirms he's to be a dad again

Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has confirmed he is set to be a dad again after a week of speculation.

The New York Post broke the news that the rapper's on-off girlfriend Kim Porter was pregnant last week, and now Diddy's representatives have confirmed the happy news.

In a statement released yesterday, Diddy's rep says: "The couple is thrilled about the news."

It is the couple's second child - Porter gave birth to their first son, Christian in 1998.

Diddy has another son, 12-year-old Justin, from a previous relationship.
