X-FACTOR CHEATING SCANDAL

A sleazy cheating scandal threatens to destroy “X Factor” standout STACY FRANCIS’ chance to take the reality show’s top prize, sources say.

According to court records obtained exclusively by The ENQUIRER, the talented singer, 42, gave birth to a baby girl when she was still mar­ried to her dentist husband Darwin Hayes – and it isn’t his child!

“Stacy is a very complicated wom­an,” a source close to her told The ENQUIRER. “She’s always talking about her wonderful children, her love of God and how grateful she is for her many blessings. But she never men­tions that she cheated on her husband with a mystery man.”

Stacy wed Darwin in 2007 but filed for divorce in May 2010 and has been battling over custody of their nearly 4-year-old son Donovan. In court pa­pers, Darwin claims their marriage was “fraught with financial and emotional problems.” He also said Stacy “sought solace elsewhere, resulting in her (sec­ond) pregnancy…It is clear to me that the baby is not mine as (Stacy) has told me and many others.”

According to Los Angeles County birth records, Stacy delivered daughter Anastasia Noelle Jones on Dec. 3. While no father’s name is listed on the birth certificate, Darwin claims in court papers that Stacy “re­ceives a substantial amount of money” from her mystery baby daddy.

“There’s no doubt that Stacy has star quality,” said the source.

“But I’m sure if ‘X Factor’ fans knew that she got knocked up with another man’s child while she was still married, they’d ‘X’ her right off the show!”
