( CNN ) -- Fantasia Barrino did not deny an alleged relationship with a married man , but a statement from her manager said the singer-actress did not wreck his marriage . A North Carolina woman , in a child custody case filing , charged that Barrino carried on a year-long affair with her husband , Antwaun Cook , who is the father of her two young children . Paula Cook alleged her husband and the `` American Idol '' winner `` have at times recorded their illicit sexual activity , '' although her lawyer stopped short of explaining whether a sex video existed . The woman is seeking full custody of her sons , 2 and 6 , along with child support , alimony , the family home and a car . The suit was filed last week in Mecklenburg County , North Carolina . `` Fantasia is certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook 's marriage , '' manager Brian Dickens said in a statement to CNN Monday . Barrino has said in past interviews that she was friends with a married man , but she has consistently denied there was a sexual relationship . Photos of Barrino and Cook together , including on a personal watercraft and also walking hand-in-hand , have circulated on the internet for months . Paula Cook 's petition said her husband `` frequents bars , restaurants , nightclubs and the like '' with Barrino . She accused her husband of enjoying `` the lavish benefits associated with the high-profile relationship . '' `` Ms. Barrino flew defendant/husband to places such as Atlanta , Miami , New York , Philadelphia , Los Angeles , and Barbados '' where he `` attended celebrity parties , concerts , photo shoots and award shows with Ms . Barrino . '' The petition , which said the couple separated in June , described a phone conversation in July in which Barrino allegedly told the wife : `` He do n't want you . ... Maybe the next time that you get a husband , you 'll know how to keep him . ... That 's why he is here with me . '' While Barrino is not directly involved in the current legal case , North Carolina is one of only a few states that allow a spouse to sue a third party who interferes with a marriage for alienation of affection . `` Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges , '' Barrino 's manager said . The High Point , North Carolina , native has enjoyed a successful recording and acting career since winning `` American Idol 's '' third season .
