Fantasia Barrino Receives a Dreamy Re-Proposal Amidst Family Feud
Grammy-winning singer Fantasia Barrino experienced a Valentine’s Day she’ll never forget, receiving a heartfelt re-proposal from her husband, Kendall Taylor, during her concert in Houston alongside Anthony Hamilton. While the couple officially tied the knot in 2015 in a courthouse ceremony, Taylor never formally proposed on one knee – until now.
A Valentine’s Day to Remember
In a touching moment, Kendall Taylor addressed the crowd, expressing his love and gratitude for Fantasia. “For 11 years, for many anniversaries, for many birthdays, Valentine’s, I shared my angel with you,” he declared. “So give me some grace and share my wife back with me.” The proposal was met with overwhelming emotion, as Fantasia fell to her knees in tears of joy, exchanging her original wedding band for a breathtaking new ring boasting 11 carats – one for each year of their marriage.

A Shadow of Controversy
However, the joy of the occasion was quickly overshadowed by a public dispute with Fantasia’s estranged father, Joseph Barrino. Taking to Facebook, Joseph made serious allegations, claiming that Kendall Taylor had been financially exploiting his daughter. He dismissed the re-proposal as “fake cry bull crap,” suggesting it was a calculated move to deflect attention from alleged financial misconduct.
Barrino further elaborated on his claims in a Facebook Live video, alleging that Taylor attempted to blame a former financial advisor for missing funds. He expressed concern for Fantasia’s well-being, warning her about the potential pitfalls of prioritizing a partner over faith. He stated, “If she don’t talk to me because I’m trying to help her, that’s God, she gon have to deal with God for that. There’s too many celebrities who have went down because of the same thing.”
Fantasia’s Fierce Response
Fantasia swiftly and publicly responded to her father’s accusations. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she vehemently defended her husband and challenged her father’s narrative. She shared a screenshot of his arrest record, referring to him as a “donor” and accusing him of enabling a negative image. She asserted her and Kendall’s control over their businesses, stating, “How can someone steal if I Fantasia Taylor is the CEO and My King Kendall Taylor is the President of ALL OUR COMPANIES.”
The situation highlights the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges faced by public figures navigating personal struggles. While the romantic re-proposal offered a moment of pure joy, the ensuing controversy underscores the importance of addressing difficult issues head-on. This story is a reminder that even amidst public celebrations, personal battles can rage on. For more celebrity news and updates, check out Billboard.
