Daddy day care: Sean 'Diddy' Combs is holidaying in St Barts with his children and ex-girlfriend Kim PorterHe's usually seen enjoying expensive drinks and dancing with beautiful girls in his music videos.
But Sean 'Diddy' Combs was on full daddy duty on Tuesday as he holidayed in St Barts with his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James, four, and son Christian Combs.
The little girls happily played in the sand as Kim kept a watchful eye on them, while Christian, 12, chatted with local girls on the beach.
Combs, 41, is a regular visitor to St Barts, spending last Christmas and New Year and June on rented yachts off the coast of the island.
The family that plays together: Combs goes back to St Barts every yearHe is likely to remain in the Caribbean until early 2011.
As well as the twins, Porter and Combs also have 12-year-old son Christian together, with the rapper acting as a surrogate stepfather to her son Quincy from a previous relationship with singer Al B.
Travelling in style: Diddy picks up his family from Grande Saline Beach in a small dingy boat to head to their 100 foot in St BarthsHis son Justin is the result of Diddy's relationship with his high school sweetheart, Misa Hylton-Brim.
Although the couple officially split three years ago, they have remained close for the sake of their children.
They originally began dating in 1994 before he left her for Jennifer Lopez in 1999.
The couple got back together in 2003 but split up again in 2007 just eight months after the birth of the twins, after Porter found out he had fathered a daughter, Chance, exactly a year earlier.
In a recent interview on U.S. talk show The View, Combs admitted growing up with a single mother after his father died meant he didn't place such importance on marriage.
The rapper claimed he wasn't ready for marriage: 'Why I'm not married yet, I don't have the exact reason. Some things in life you don't have the exact reason.
My father was killed when I was three years old... I never got a chance to see the way a family lives, but I'm not making an excuse.'
