The baby father of Internet, reality television and sex tape star Tila Tequila has reportedly been revealed.

On April 18, Tila revealed that she is 10 weeks pregnant via Facebook. She has yet to state who the father is, but according to Radar Online, the father-to-be is Thomas Paxton Whitaker, "an American songwriter, musician, rapper and music producer." According to the tabloid site, Tila and Whitaker live together.

"Yes, ma'am. I am the father of her/our baby," the 42-year-old Georgian said. "Tila has a wonderful relationship with my daughters. ... We are all very happy about the arrival of a new edition to our family and about the blessing of the birth of a child into the world."

Tila is also excited about the pregnancy, saying that it helped her life, which has been marred with "hurtful, embarrassing and sometimes erratic" actions.

"My side of the story has never been truly told over the past five years as I have kept so much bottled inside of me," she told Us Weekly. "It has been quite a painful journey for me, and I never thought I was going to make it out alive. So to be able to do a total 180 and finally be blessed with my first child gets me so emotional that I can barely even handle it. The only difference is that now these tears I cry are of joy and no longer of sadness."

Thomas is reportedly a struggling musician who filed for bankruptcy in 2007.

"It has been very rewarding to see how happy Tila is about being a mom," he said. "For me, there's a deep satisfaction which comes along with seeing someone reach that kind of a place within themselves. Most especially for someone who has been waiting for that release in and from life but has had yet to experience it."

Indeed, Tila has faced troubles since her fame peaked with 2007's MTV reality show "A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila," including a pro-Hitler Facebook rant. Now however, she says that after "so many traumatic years" she's "finally healed."

"I truly feel that my baby has saved my life, and I will do whatever it takes to give my little baby the whole entire world," Tila said. "I never knew such a love like this could exist, but I guess motherhood can truly change some people. ... I'm already thinking about having more. I just want my baby to be proud of me and to know how much I love him or her. ... I hope I will have plenty more pregnancies to come."
