The couple welcomed the twin girls into the world Thursday morning at an undisclosed hospital in New York. The first child, named D'Lila Star Combs, came at approximately 7:56 a.m., weighing in at 5 pounds. The second girl, Jessie James Combs, followed just two minutes later at 5 pounds, 4 ounces. The children were named after Porter's and Diddy's grandmothers--Lila Star and Jessie Smalls, respectively--"two people who had an enormous influence on both Kim and Sean's lives," Diddy's rep, Robert Zimmerman said in a statement. The site reports that Diddy, who had been keeping a plane on standby just in case Porter went into labor, flew in for the delivery from Toronto, where he has been filming a movie adaptation of the Broadway musical A Raisin in the Sun. When he received word that Porter was going into labor, Diddy headed straight to New York and "made it just in the nick of time for the delivery," according to Zimmerman. "Both Kim and the girls are doing great." The couple first announced the news of Porter's pregnancy to twins in August via a myspace video blog. This morning, a written blog read: Myspace Fam,
Wanted to tell you first, I'm at the hospital right now and christmas came early this morning when Kim gave birth to two healthy beautiful twin girls!!! Both, Kim and the twins are doing great, thank you for all your support this year! I Love Y'all! Combs and Porter already have a son, 8-year-old Christian. Combs has another son, Justin, 12, with fashion stylist Misa Hylton-Brim and Porter has another son, Quincy, from a previous relationship with Al B. Sure.
