This artist and music mogul is one proud parent right now. On Sunday, Aug. 29, Diddy's three daughters all modeled together, hitting the runway for Dolce & Gabbana. The show was in Venice, Italy, and 14-year-old twins D'Lila and Jessie Combs and 15-year-old Chance Combs all took part. The rapper and his daughters shared their feelings about the event on social media, and they're all thrilled to have had the opportunity.
But while it was a joyful moment for the family, it was also a bittersweet one. Diddy shared D'Lila and Jessie with his late ex Kim Porter, who was a professional model herself and died in 2018. The twins share a striking resemblance to her. Diddy spoke briefly about Porter in a video that appears to have been shared from Venice. Read on to see D'Lila, Jessie, and Chance in the show and find out what they had to say about the experience.
The Venice show was a star-studded event.

Diddy didn't have the words for how proud he was.

In addition to D'Lila, Jessie, and Chance, Diddy also has three sons: 27-year-old Justin with fashion designer Misa Hylton; 30-year-old Quincy, who is Porter's son he adopted; and 23-year-old Christian, also with Porter.
This wasn't the first time that all three of his daughters modeled together. Way back in 2013, the young girls walked in a children's fashion show in New York City. At that time, Diddy tweeted (via the Daily Mail), "Words can't explain how proud I am of my young ladies! There's no greater feeling."
Diddy was thinking of Porter during the trip.

"Life is short. Tomorrow's not promised. Live everyday to the fullest. Be your best. Be your greatest. Be your happiest," the rapper and producer said. "These are things I say to myself I'm not preaching." Then, referring to sun ray coming through the clouds behind him, he said, "Baby, I see you. Look at you shining up there" and tagged Porter's account, @ladykp.
Diddy and Porter were together on-and-off between the years of 1994 to 2007. The model and actor died of pneumonia at the age of 47.
