The surprise is on us.

The news went public after film director Peter Berg, who officiated the wedding, posted a photo of the pair at the altar on his Instagram page.

“By the power vested in me…. @alexfine44 n @cassie ❤️💥❤️ Long may you ride!” read the caption of the Sept. 25 photo.

Neither Cassie nor Fine has posted about their nuptials on their respective IG pages, but they each left a comment on Berg’s post.

“Love you Pete! ♥️” Cassie said, while Fine left a heart emoji in a separate comment.

While the wedding came swiftly, it probably shouldn’t alarm onlookers. TMZ reported that the couple, who are expecting a baby girl together, obtained a marriage license before they shared their engagement news with the public.

Apparently, the license was retrieved a week before the highly produced proposal video and photos that were created with the help of the Compton Cowboys were unveiled on Fine’s Instagram page. The couple had a maximum of 90 days to head down the aisle.

And now the couple have done it and fans have been sharing their good wishes after the news made the rounds.

“Yayy! So happy for her! Let go of the blocks in your road to love and you will receive your true blessing ladies. I stand by that!”

“She’s an official girl! Yaaaas!”

“Mrs. Cassie Fine💎 that’s what’s up!”

Additionally, many online couldn’t help but remark on the singer’s ex-boyfriend Diddy, whom Cassie dated off-and-on for about a decade before finally calling it quits in October 2018.

“Somebody check on diddy😂”

“Diddy would never!! His loss 👏👏”

“Diddy just took another L for no reason 🤷🏿‍♂️😂”

“Diddy some where crying an dancing at the same time😢🕺🏿”

While fans have remarked on Diddy, he has appeared to remain silent on the matter. However, his followers took the time to check in on him in a Wednesday Instagram post he made of a Cîroc ad featuring his former flame.

“You good, fam? 🤣”

“I just came to check on you because I know you seen your girl Wedding photos.”

“Cuz u good? U know that cassie is married and pregnant right?? Someone check his pulse”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
