After much speculation, Cassie has confirmed she is pregnant. The R&B singer is expecting her first child with boyfriend Alex Fine.

It's only been a week since rumors first swirled about Diddy's ex, whose full name is Casandra Elizabeth Ventura. Speculation started when "a little birdie close to the couple" shared the juicy news with The Shade Room. It wasn't until Wednesday night that the couple took to Instagram to set the record straight.

A photo posted to Ventura's social media on Wednesday shows the couple overlooking a body of water in the front seat of a vehicle with a pair of tiny white shoes dangling from the rearview mirror.

"Can't wait to meet our baby girl," Ventura wrote confirming both the pregnancy and gender of their child, "Love You Always & Forever."

Ventura's boyfriend also shared the news with his followers on Wednesday. He posted a photo of the couple along with a sweet and heartfelt caption that began, "Letter to my Daughter."

"I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever," he continued. "I never thought my heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother... then I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable."

In the caption, Fine promises his unborn daughter that he will be present "at every dance recital, concert, sporting event, school play" or whatever activity she decides to do. "I will be there and support you," he proclaimed, "I am your number one fan."

The personal trainer goes on to make a number of promises to his baby girl before ending the caption with, "You’re perfect to me and always will be."
