LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Is Fantasia pregnant again? Fantasia Barrino’s new Instagram photo is prompting pregnancy reports today. But the singer has yet to confirm news that she is pregnant. A quick perusal of Fantasia’s Twitter account suggests that Barrino, who was partying late at a nightclub this week, is not pregnant.

Usually, celebrities attempt to stay away from fake baby bump stories. In 2010, Khloe Kardashian told news that she was tired of being called pregnant by news websites. She in turn exclaimed “I’m not pregnant, I’m just fat”.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Antwaun Cook (photos below) might be Fantasia Barrino’s baby daddy. But Antwaun Cook’s name is not mentioned by Fantasia Barrino in news statements about her baby birth. Fantasia Barrino allegedly was pregnant with Antwaun Cook’s child before. And while Barrino has consistently claimed that she is an open book to her fans, she is not telling fans, yet again today, who is her baby daddy.

In October, Barrino told the Wendy Williams Show that she is pregnant and that her due date is December 29. But she refused to identify the baby daddy. “I’m having a boy. I’m at home, I’m on bed rest right now.” PEOPLE noted at the time that Barrino “still has not spoken about the baby’s father”.

She did the same with her fans that month. In Jacksonville, Barrino told patrons “You are the first persons that I share this news with,” she told patrons. “And I share this with you because I can relate to you, And for a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me.” She added “But now I tell you, I don’t live my life for folk. So this child that I carry, God has given me this child. And I don’t have to hide it from none of y’all.” She made no mention of the child’s father.

On Tuesday, Barrino issued her a fourth news statement, now to PEOPLE. Many celebrities often don’t announce the birth of their child initially, omit their names, or their birth weight and size. But Barrino released all those details to PEOPLE this week. But one detail she left out was the baby’s daddy.

In a news statement to PEOPLE she said “I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy, and is a wonderful new addition to our family. I thank all my fans for their well wishes and continued support.” She would not indicate if the family includes Cook, prompting PEOPLE to note “Barrino has not spoken about the baby’s father”.  Yet the magazine confirms that Barrino and Cook are still in love and dating.

Barrino has defended herself. “Fantasia has always been an open book. Honesty, self-respect, and personal responsibility are values she wears proudly” said a Barrino rep in December 2010. Antwaun Cook however is still not divorced from his wife Paula Cook.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Fantasia Barrino, Antwaun Cook baby birth is expected for today. Fantasia Barrino is in labor with Antwaun Cook’s baby. The American Idol singer entered labor roughly two hours ago, reports claim. Antwaun is still married to his estranged wife, Paula Cook.

Antwaun’s wife Paula Cook claimed Fantasia had an affair with her husband starting in August 2009. “Beginning as early as August, 2009 and continuing up until the date of the parties’ separation, Defendant / Husband engaged in behavior that was inconsistent with his marital status and / or responsibilities to Plaintiff / Wife” Paula Cook claimed in her divorce papers.

In 2009, pictures surfaced online of Antwaun Cook and Barrino dating. But in a Honey Magazine interview at the time, Barrino denied dating Cook at the time. “Yes, [the rumors] were all really cute to me. I guess it was something about a guy from T-Mobile? [Cook was a T-Mobile sales agent in a Charlotte, NC store in November 2009]. Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man. There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career.”

Barrino went on to claim she didn’t even know Antwaun. Barrino told Honey that she had never even met Cook before. “Right now I’m not really focused on a boyfriend; we all know what happens when you get them … As a matter of fact, I’ve never even [met him] before. I think I’d want to be with a guy who’s in the same tax bracket as I am … or higher!”

Fantasia would later say that she was open book her fans. “Fantasia has always been an open book. Honesty, self-respect, and personal responsibility are values she wears proudly” said a Barrino representative in 2010.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Fantasia Barrino and Antwaun Cook are having a baby. Fantasia is pregnant, and Antwaun Cook (photos below) is believed to be the father. Fantasia has been dating Cook since 2009. In two years, Fantasia and Cook have been the subject of multiple controversies and criticism from then wife Paula Cook. A previous report, additionally, had claimed that Barrino was allegedly once before pregnant with Cook’s child.

Paula Cook claimed her husband Antwaun had met Barrino at his place of work in a T-Mobile store in North Carolina back in August 2009. By January 2010, Fantasia was questioned if she was dating Cook. The questions came after pictures surfaced online of Cook with Barrino.

Barrino in January 2010 told Honey Magazine news that “You can’t believe everything you hear”. Barrino was specifically asked if she had been dating a “guy from T-Mobile”. She called the reports all false. “Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man.”

Fantasia also said that she wasn’t looking for a man but focused on her career. Paula Cook claimed Barrino wasn’t just looking for any man, but was looking to steal her husband. “There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career” Barrino claimed at the time.

Paula Cook eventually filed for divorce. In her court papers, Cook called Barrino her husband’s mistress. Barrino said that was false and inserted up to sell newspapers. “Mrs. Cook gratuitously included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids.”

But months later, Barrino told news that she had been dating Cook all along, that he was “her boo”, that he did work for T-Mobile. But, she said she believed he was separated at the time. “She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009. She believed Mr. Cook when he told her he lived elsewhere.” Yet Barrino said of herself that she “was always been an open book. Honesty, self-respect, and personal responsibility are values she wears proudly.”

Barrino would turn the scandal into a TV special for “Behind the Music”. During that special she said “I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace.”

In November, Radar Online claimed that Barrino “admitted she got pregnant by her married lover Antwaun Cook and had an abortion around the time of her failed suicide attempt.”

Last weekend, in Jacksonville, Florida, Barrino told patrons she is pregnant. She did not confirm that Cook is the father. “You are the first persons that I share this news with,” she told patrons. “And I share this with you because I can relate to you, And for a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me.”

Fantasia added “But now I tell you, I don’t live my life for folk. So this child that I carry, God has given me this child. And I don’t have to hide it from none of y’all.”
