"I am the happiest I've ever been in life, I laugh the most, I smile the most, I breathe the most," he said. As for losing Porter, who died of lobar pneumonia in 2018, Combs added, "I had to start to deal with it when I lost Kim. 'Cause I was like, man, you had it. I'm not saying I would do any of it differently. God willing — I would have had more time. ... I look at my life as I got a second chance. I'm on my second mountain."

"For me, my life got better because I was running myself into the ground and I wasn't taking enough time for my family and for myself. It's really been a blessing," he said. "I lost the mother of my children and the time that [my kids and I] were sequestered together, it helped me to make up for all those years I was on tour and to get closer to my family."
"For me, it's been a blessing but really using the time to become a better father and a better person," Combs added.

In discussion with Vanity Fair, Combs also opened up about legally changing his middle name to "Love" earlier this year.
"Love is a mission," he said. "I feel like that's one of the biggest missions that will actually shift things. But besides that, we — the world — is different. We have the internet, we have the power, we have a culture, I have us on a five-year plan."
"My people taking time to feel like it's all right to love. Take time to huddle up your tribe, take time to communicate and know your power. Take time to heal," he added. "You know what I'm saying, [taking care of] yourself without feeling like, oh, you're going to be labeled a racist now because you talk about taking care of yourself."
