'It was very taboo for a man in his position in the church to get involved with a married woman,' a source said.
'Stacy is very protective of her children and feels like she should be the one to release information about her baby's father when she's ready,' the source added.
'But at the same time, she's getting really tired of hiding and trying to avoid all the questions.'
Stacy, 42, said in a statement today: 'I love him very much and I am not ashamed of my baby. Our baby.'
