CNN reports that "the singer testified that she knew from the first day of her relationshsip with Cook that he was married and still living with his wife, according to two sources who were in the courtroom."

Wife Paula Cook is now reportedly moving forward with plans to file a civil lawsuit against Fantasia, as well, under the “Alienation of Affection" law. -Niki McGloster
