CONFIRMED: Jill Scott Expecting Baby #1!

Jill Scott has confirmed her preggers status to the Television Critics Association at a conference yesterday. She and her fiance Lil Jon Roberts, a drummer in her band, are ecstatic. And she’s already past her first trimester:
“The first trimester I spent in Botswana. That was one of the biggest challenges of my life. First trimester! You’re sick every morning. It was seven hours time difference, the heat, the bugs, the 14 hour days.”
She was in Botswana while filming her new HBO series “The No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency”. She’s due April 25th and says her doc gave her the green light to go ahead and film the show. The news was first reported by AOL Black Voices a couple months ago. Loves it all. Congrats to Jilly!

Her boyfriend….
It’s crazy how long she was with her now ex husband and didn’t have a child…I guess that was her blessing in disguise. She got with the right person and it happened.

Congratulations to Jill! It is great that she found love again too; because she got divorced some time ago and she was saying she hopes to love again. I like her music, it has this jazz soulful sound to it.

Damn Jill I know the saying is “Give the drummer some” but Jill literally gave the drummer some. Go head on Ms Jill Scott but I would’ve gave the goods to Mr. Lamann Rucker from “Why Did I Get Married” I’m just saying but congrats anyway Ms Jill Scott.
