Former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino is overjoyed after announcing she is pregnant.

The Grammy-winning singer broke her baby joy news to fans during a charity performance in Florida on Sunday.

She beamed, "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 am carrying... God has given me this child. And I don't have to hide it from none of y'all."

It's not yet known who the father is, but Barrino also has a nine-year old daughter, Zion Quari.
