As far as why he and Kim split for good in 2007, she shared in a statement, "In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was in the best interest of myself, Sean, and our family. I look forward to moving on with my life and my career and wish him prosperity, health, and happiness in life and in love. We will remain friends and committed parents to our children."

Sadly, Kim passed away in 2018 from a form of pneumonia.

“Three days before she passed, she wasn’t feeling well. She had the flu, and she sent the kids over to my house so they wouldn’t get sick," Diddy told Essence in 2019. "One night I was checking on her, and she was like, ‘Puffy, take care of my babies.’ She actually said that to me before she died.”

She reportedly wanted a family life, and he didn't see marriage in his future, thus, they split in 2001.
