Between his split from girlfriend of 11 yearsCassie Venturaandthe unexpected deathof Kim Porter, the mother of four of his children, it’s been a trying few months forSean “Diddy” Combs.
And things got even more challenging for the music mogul, 49, when Ventura, 32, posted pictures of herselfkissing a new man, personal trainer Alex Fine, on Instagram this past Saturday, a source close to the rapper tells PEOPLE.
“If there is anyone who knows how absolutely devastated Diddy has been sinceKim’s death, it’s Cassie. He can’t believe she feels the need to post pictures with her new guy. It’s like she did it to upset Diddy more,” the insider says.
“The whole situation is just ridiculous,” the source continues. “There is just no need to post pictures on social media at this point. Diddy is having enough of a hard time.”
Representatives for the former couple and Fine did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

A second source also recently told PEOPLE that Diddybelieves the singer cheated on himwith Fine, who’s also a professional bull rider. Ventura and Fine have reportedly known each other for months — at least since before the coupleannounced their splitin October.
Diddy believed “there was absolutely overlap,” said the source. “Cassie wanted a personal trainer, so Diddy hired Alex for her. Then Cassie and Alex started hooking up before her relationship with Diddy was over.”
Ventura’s Instagram post of Fine, which also included a shot of her mother from a Christmas party, came just one day after the father of six made his affection for his ex-girlfriend known.
On Friday, Diddyshared a smiling photoof the singer, in which she appeared to be taking a bubble bath.
Adding a heart emoji over the top of the image, Diddy also tagged the singer in the photo, although Ventura no longer follows him on Instagram.

“There are no words….An amazing mother to her beautiful family, lit up every room she entered and now the most beautiful angel,” Ventura wrote, alongside a glamorous photo of Porter.
On Thursday, Diddy revealed he’s still coping with the loss of Porter, explaining that his family has helped him through depression.
“GOD IS SO GOOD. THE GREATEST!!! I’m the luckiest man in the world. The way my family has been strong has humbled me,” Diddytweeteda shot of his mother Janice cuddling up to his twins Jessie and D’Lila with Porter.
