Fantasia and lover to shack up despite loss of affection lawsuit (Video)

What are Fantasia Barrino and her married lover Antwaun Cook thinking?  The gossip is that they are planning on moving in together. Her family is opposed to this entire arrangement as he is still a married man.  And to complicate matters, her boyfriend moved out of his home in North Carolina, one of the seven states where alienation of affection laws are in place.  The seven states include: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah.

Keep in mind that a marriage is never over until the divorce papers are signed.  When someone comes between a couple, it dramatically reduces the chances for a reconciliation.  Infidelity Forgiveness and Reconciliation

CNN reported on August 15th that "A North Carolina woman has filed court documents naming "American Idol" season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino as a primary reason for her divorce. The woman is seeking custody of her two children, alimony and other monetary support. Barrino has acknowledged the relationship and apologized, saying through her manager she was led to believe Antwaun Cook had left his wife."
