During a recent performance for a charity event in Jacksonville, Florida, Fantasia took to the stage and announced that she was pregnant.

“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. 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.”

After the announcement, Fantasia began singing “Even Angels” from her album “Back to Me”.

In related news, Fantasia and her on-again off-again boyfriend, Antwan Cook were spotted in Barbados recently. Fantasia seemed to be sporting a baby bump.
