Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs - Contributed

Bangshowbiz:

P. Diddy's split from Kim Porter could cost him $1.2 million a year.

The music mogul - real name Sean Combs - already pays the mother of his son Justin, Misa Hylton-Brim, $30,000 a month in child support, but that figure is set to be dwarfed by the maintenance he may have to provide Porter to care for their three children.

Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder said: "With Misa Hylton-Brim receiving approximately $30,000 a month, there is no reason that Ms. Porter shouldn't be able to get close to $100,000 or more per month in child support.

"That amount accounts for Porter having three children with Combs and inflation in the years since Misa received the ruling in her case."

Porter is mother to 10-year-old Christian and seven-month-old twin girls D'Lila Star and Jesse James from her 10 year on/off relationship with P. Diddy.

Meanwhile, the rapper has been enjoying the single life since he and Porter split.

Two weekends ago - days before Porter announced their separation - Diddy was seen "canoodling with a brunette in a cabana with three bodyguards blocking him from fans and paparazzi" at the Star Room in the Hamptons.

Last Saturday, the hip-hop mogul hosted the All White Diddy Affair at Baltimore's Gardel's Supper Club where he was seen getting "friendly" with a mystery blonde.

A source told People magazine: "He came in first and then security brought the girls up to the VIP area on the second floor.

"They arrived with him. They came out from the same Hummer that I saw Diddy come out earlier.

"He seemed happy, very pleasant and very carefree. He was dancing and so was the girl with the blonde hair - she was dancing with him. She was really enjoying herself."
