The 27-year-old singer is also the mother of a 9-year-old daughter.

"You are the first persons that I share this news with," Fantasia said.

"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?' But now I tell you I don't live my life for folk. ... This child that I'm carrying, God has given me this child. And I don't have to hide it from none of y'all."
