What comes around goes around girlfriend!!!

American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino is dating a married father of two who left his wife and young children to move in with her, Star has learned.

Fantasia, 25, first met 30-year-old Antwaun Cook, a hunky former college football player from Charlotte, N.C., while he was working at his T-Mobile store in August — and the attraction was instant.

By mid-September, the insider says, Antwaun, who also works as a real estate agent, dumped his teacher wife and their sons, ages 4 and 1, and moved into Fantasia’s $1.3 million mansion in Charlotte’s ritzy suburb of Piper Glen.

“I’m not going to deny that the word ‘homewrecker’ is floating around,” a friend of the singer tells Star.

And adding fuel to the fire: Fantasia has tattooed Antwaun’s last name on her left shoulder to match one he has, says the friend. “She got it to honor her man!”

Fantasia Barrino is no longer facing foreclosure on her $1.3 million home, attorneys for the American Idol winner have announced.

An auction of the six bedroom, 6,232-square-foot mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina was scheduled to take place Monday — but the American Idol winner struck a deal with her Florida-based creditors to keep her home for now. She could still lose it at a future auction if a settlement is not reached.

“Assuming the promised payments all get paid as indicated, we will be satisfied,” Larry Goldman, the lawyer representing lender Broward Energy Partners, told the New York Post. “I didn’t want to take her house.”

The 24-year-old still owes $65,000 — money she borrowed in 2006 to pay back taxes to the IRS. Her last payment of $10,000 was made in August 2007.

Barrino has agreed to a repayment plan, but the creditor’s lawyer didn’t release details.

“Reading between the lines, I’m assuming the money is not there or, at least, it’s not there in the short-term,” Goldman told the Post. “My client just wants to be paid.”

This isn’t the first time the 2004 Idol champ has faced foreclosure. In 2005, she nearly lost a 4,500-square-foot home in the same neighborhood. plus a $240,000 Mercedes. Both matters were resolved in court, although tax records show she owes $14,678 for that residence.

Barrino is mom to 7-year-old daughter Zion, whom she gave birth to when she was 16 years old. Her duet with Jennifer Hudson “I’m His Only Woman” is up for a Grammy next month, and her MySpace page says her next album is coming out this year.

The season-four winner’s lawyers and manager did not return calls to the Post.

Fantasia Barrino is “not pregnant,” a rep for her Broadway show, The Color Purple, tells Usmagazine.com.

Several blogs recently reported that the American Idol champ, 23, and rapper Young Dro were expecting.

“Fantasia is not pregnant and the Internet rumors are entirely untrue,” Barrino’s rep confirms to Us.

The New York Post also said that “an upcoming visit from the stork might explain the star’s numerous absences from the Broadway smash The Color Purple.”

But the show’s rep tells Us:

“It is true that she has missed some performances because she has gotten sick from time to time over the nine months, but doing eight shows a week is a lot so she missed a few.”

When Barrino was 17 she gave birth to daughter Zion, who turned 6 this year.
