Actress and model Kim Porter passed away on Thursday at the age of 47 after she was said to be battling the flu that turned into pneumonia.
And her ex and father to three of her children Sean 'Diddy' Combs was absolutely 'devastated' upon learning the news.
According to a source for People, the 49-year-old rapper maintained a very positive relationship with Porter.
'Diddy is devastated and shocked,' said the source, 'he and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work.'
'They never had a formal custody agreement. They accommodated each other's schedules when it came to the kids -- and it always worked.'
The model, actress and mother of four, including three children with Sean 'Diddy' Combs - was found dead in her home on Thursday.
The actress and model's cause of death, however, has not yet been confirmed.
Kim's close friend, Kimora Lee Simmons, 43, was seen sobbing outside the house as the body was removed by the coroner.
Simmons was beside herself as stood in the garage alongside other loved ones to Porter, who suddenly passed away Thursday after suffering flu-like symptoms and possibly pneumonia for several weeks, according to TMZ.
