Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Kim Porter has broken her silence over her split from the rap mogul, insisting the decision was in her family's "best interests".

Actress-model Porter hinted of an amicable split as she gave her reasons for the break-up.

She tells US TV's Entertainment Tonight: "After 10 years, I have decided to end my on-again off-again relationship with Sean. In ending it, I made a decision that was in the best interests 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."

Porter - who has three children with Combs - nine-year-old son Christian and newborn twin daughters D'Lila and Jessie - moved out of the New York apartment she shared with the rap star earlier this month. - Wenn
