Dallas Xavier Barrino was born on Tuesday - more than two weeks before his December 29 due date - and weighed in at 7 lbs., 9 oz. and 21 inches long.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, the singer went into labor on Monday and checked into the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, at around 1:30 p.m. PST.

The new addition is the half-brother to Fantasia's 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Zion.

Dallas' dad is believed to be Fantasia's boyfriend, Antwaun Cook, who is currently still married to his estranged wife, Paula — who claims Fantasia and Antwaun began an affair together while she and her husband were trying to patch up their marriage.
