Fantasia Barrino, 25, has been officially labeled a homewrecker in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Apparently she’s snatched up one of the locals who just happens to be a married man with children and like RHOA’s Kim Zolciak she’s not tryna hide it. Fannie’s new love interest, Antwaun Cook, is a 30 year old, married father of two sons, ages 4 and 1. The couple apparently met when he caught Fantasia’s eye at his place of employment, T-mobile, where he works as a salesman. Just weeks after their meeting, Cook packed up and left his wife and children to reside with Fantasia in her million dollar home.
He’s got the former American Idol so sprung that she’s even tatted his last name on her shoulder:
Are you serious!?! *Neffe Voice*
Other bloggers have referred to Fannie’s new love interest as a golddigging cheater, who left his family in search of the R&B singer’s riches. With all the homewrecking talk brewing in their small town of North Carolina, the couple continues to flaunt their relationship even though Cook is still a legally married man. Apparently Fannie could care less and is in it for the long haul. That tatt means “Forever” in the hood book of love.

Fantasia Barrino hit up Biloxi, Mississippi last week to offer words of encouragement to young single mothers. In January, the U.S. Center For Disease Control announced that Mississippi has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, with rates 60 percent above the national average. The 2nd Annual Saving Our Sisters Summit invited Tasia out to perform and speak to the teens about her experiences being a teenaged mom:

It’s very important because I am a young mother and I’ve been through a lot of the things that these young ladies will go through. My thing is to try to get through to the young ladies who have not yet gotten to that point. To let them know that it’s very important to stay in school…get your education…prepare your life BEFORE you start to have children. Because it’s not easy out here and there’s lot of our young women having kids a lot younger than the age that I had my daughter.
So, if I could be a testimony to some of these young people and say to them “OK yes, I’ve overcame a lot of things, but it was tough and it was hard” before you get to that point just listen to your parents…get your education.
