For weeks now, everybody’s been wondering if Fantasia is pregnant. She’s been spotted out and about at performances with an unusual pooch. Fans won’t have to guess anymore. The former “American Idol” singer officially confirmed her pregnancy over the weekend.

According to YBF and the video below, Fantasia said, “For a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me. But now I tell you I don’t live my life for folk.” she said to a packed audience. “This child that I am carrying… God has given me this child. And I don’t have to hide it from none of y’all.”

Congratulations to Fantasia on bringing new life into the world. May future days be filled with joy and happiness. We wish her and boyfriend Antwaun Cook the best of luck.
