LOS ANGELES - Hip-hop impresario Sean 'Diddy' Combs is making room for two more in his posse.

The music producer, fashion mogul and restaurateur is expecting twins with his longtime girlfriend, former model Kim Porter, his spokeswoman said on today.

"They are having twins, and they are thrilled," said Combs' publicist, who declined to be named. She had no further information on the twins' gender, whether they are fraternal or identical, or when they are due.

Combs and Porter already have an 8-year-old son, Christian, and Combs has a 12-year-old son, Justin, with stylist Misa Hilton-Brim. The rapper's New York City restaurant Justin's is named for his older child.

News that Porter and the 36-year-old head of Bad Boy Entertainment are expecting twins was first reported by Us Weekly magazine on its website.
