The Truth About Fantasia Barrino And Antwaun Cook's Relationship

Fantasia Barrino reportedly kept seeing Antwaun Cook, even as the relationship continued to strain everyone involved. Things took a turn for the worst in 2010, when Radar claimed that Fantasia terminated a pregnancy that was the result of her and Cook's affair. Later that same year, the then-26-year-old attempted suicide. Fantasia admitted in a VH1 Behind the Music (via People) special that she overdosed on aspirin and a sleeping aid. "I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle," the singer revealed. "I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills." 

As Fantasia recovered, she remained connected to Cook, and not just because his name is tattooed on her collarbone. In 2011, Fantasia welcomed a son, Dallas Xavier, and, as CNN noted at the time, she didn't reveal who the father is. She's still super private about her kids' lives, but with Cook frequently posting pics of his son Dallas on Instagram, there seems to be little doubt who the tyke's dad is. Thankfully, the worst seems to be behind everybody: Fantasia is now married to Kendall Taylor, and, as noted in the Christian Post, she even seems to have a peaceful relationship with her ex and his wife, who all agree to focus on what's best for the kids. Man, we love a happy ending.
