Keshia Knight Pulliam says she was blindsided by the divorce papers her husband of less than a year, Ed Hartwell, just filed. She also claims that he cheated on her but that she'd decided to give him another chance.

"I love who he pretended to be," she said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "When he said he wanted our marriage, he wanted our family - I believed him. That's why I gave him this one last chance, only for him to pull the rug from under me and blindside me."

Pulliam is expecting a girl and said the stress of the divorce proceedings isn't healthy for her body or the baby. She conducted the interview without her wedding ring on and indicated she's not interested in staying married.
