Diddy split confirmed

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' publicist has confirmed the rap mogul has split from his long-time girlfriend, model Kim Porter, just days after he insisted the break-up reports were bogus.

Combs' spokeswoman Keesha Johnson announced the news on Tuesday, five days after the rapper/designer blasted rumours of a separation.

The latest news comes after a report in last week's New York Post, which claimed Porter, the mother of Combs' son Christian and newborn twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James, had moved out of the New York City apartment she shared with the rap star.

Combs has recently been romantically linked to British actress Sienna Miller, who says the two are just friends.
