Cassie's fitness trainer boyfriend Alex Fine previously published two Instagram posts which appear to be from the same photoshoot - penning two emotional letters to Cassie and to his unborn daughter. Titled simply “Letter to Cassie” and “Letter to my Daughter”, Fine made a series of promises for their lives to come.

To Cassie, he said, “I promise you that I will do every single thing in my power to support you and help you. I promise that you will never be alone.”

The letter also promised to love Cassie “beyond expectation” and to be “the best father/baby daddy”, finished with, “You two are my greatest loves I have and will ever have. I cannot wait for the rest of our lives together and to raise a beautiful happy child in our beautiful happy life.”

Fine’s letter to his daughter also explained that he didn’t think his “heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother”, but continued, “Then I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable.”

He also vowed to set an example of a “healthy relationship” and said, “I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever.”

Cassie and the celebrity trainer (he works with the Riverdale cast) have been dating since January, following her breakup with rapper P. Diddy. You might remember their relationship from that time Diddy laid down on the Met Gala as Cassie posed for photographs in the press line.

Diddy and Cassie dated on and off over the course of a decade and while the split was announced in October last year, a rep for Cassie confirmed they hadn’t been together “for months”.

Cassie responded to Fine’s letters in the comments, saying, “I love you so much! Can’t wait for this journey with you.”

Now, the singer is engaged about a year after her final breakup with Diddy.

Fine shared a video of the proposal and Cassie posted a second photograph captioned, "I love you best friend. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
