In less than 24 hours following her release from hospital, the 'American Idol' alum is caught on camera having a face-to-face talk with Auntwaun Cook at a park near her mansion.

Fantasia Barrino has been spotted meeting Antwaun Cook, the man whose marriage she was accused of breaking up, for the first time after she attempted suicide. Radar Online reported that the encounter between the former "American Idol" champ and her lover took place at a secluded park near her lavish waterfront mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Their first captured encounter reportedly occurred less than 24 hours after she was released from a North Carolina hospital where she was treated for drug overdose. The twosome were seen engaging in deep conversation while cameras for her VH1 reality show, "Fantasia for Real", continued to roll.

On Monday, August 9, the Celie of Broadway play "The Color Purple" was rushed to the hospital for an overdose of "aspirin and a sleep aid" as she attempted to suicide. News of her attempting suicide came up after she was named in a court filing alleging that she was having an affair Cook to which her manager insisted that the singer is "certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of Cook's marriage."

Her manager Brian Dickens confirmed to the press that the singer was out of the hospital on late Wednesday, August 11, just two days after attempting suicide. Upon her release, he said that she is "more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration."
