American Idol winner and Grammy award-winning singer Fantasia Barrino shared some exciting news during a Nov. 24, 2020, Instagram Live session. In the clip shared on the entertainer’s Twitter account, Fantasia and her husband, Kendall Taylor, began by telling a brief story about their journey to conceiving.
Citing a story from the Bible about a woman who turned to pray in order to conceive, Fantasia Barrino said she decided to pray as well in order to have a baby with her husband.
In the clip, she jumps up and exposes her tummy while Kendall plants a kiss on her cute little baby bump. The couple also showed off a Christian Dior diaper bag.
This will be the first child for the couple. Fantasia has two children from previous relationships: Dallas Xavier and Zion Quari. And Kendall has a son named Treyshaun from a previous relationship.
Fantasia experienced fertility struggles
In an Instagram post following her pregnancy announcement, Fantasia Barrino shared a photo, along with a caption detailing her fertility struggles. She said a doctor had informed her that one of her fallopian tubes had closed, making it more difficult to get pregnant. However, despite her medical diagnosis, she didn’t give up hope.
We have chronicled Fantasia’s journey of self-discovery and finding love again after her past messy relationships that played out in the public eye. She began fasting from relationships and even bought a ring and married herself.
In 2014, she met Kendall at a rooftop bar and they began dating right away. In October 2014, just three weeks after their first encounter, they became husband and wife… and the rest is history!
Congrats to the expecting parents and we wish them nothing but the best!
