Fantasia Barrino has a new little backup singer.

The American Idol season 3 winner gave birth to a baby boy, Dallas Xavier Barrino, her rep tells PEOPLE. Baby Dallas made his debut on Tuesday in North Carolina at 7 lbs., 9 oz. and 21 inches long. He joins big sister Zion, 10.

"I feel so blessed that my son Dallas Xavier was born healthy, and is a wonderful new addition to our family," Barrino, 27, tells PEOPLE. "I thank all my fans for their well wishes and continued support."

The singer expressed her joy about the new baby when she revealed in August she was pregnant, telling the audience at a charity concert in Florida: "So, this child that I carry – God has given me this child. And I don't have to hide it from none of y'all."

In October, she announced she was having a boy, and shared that she'd been placed on bed rest as she came into the home stretch of the pregnancy.

Barrino has not spoken about the baby's father, but the singer has been romantically linked to Antwaun Cook since summer 2010.

Congratulations to Fantasia (and Antwaun).  I was just wondering over the weekend if she'd had the baby but I hadn't heard anything and I knew she was due the end of this month.  I love the name Dallas.  I'm also glad he's healthy.

I ain't trying to be funny but I do wonder who dropped the ball earlier today and told Radar Online that Antwaun Cook was in fact with her when it was reported that she was in labor (at that very moment).  I'm just wondering if that bit of information was supposed to be mentioned.  Whether it was or wasn't, I'm sure the hospital is still lined up with reporters trying to get a glimpse of Mr. Cook because they also told the hospital she was in.

See that article regarding the hospital information and Antwaun Cook Here. 

(Hopefully they won't change the information by the time you guys read it like Sister 2 Sister Magazine's web site did smh)
