January 10, 2009 Jill Scott Is Pregnant – Due April 25!
The extremely talented R&B singer and actress Jill Scott revealed to reporters at the Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles on Friday that she is pregnant with her first child.
Promoting her new HBO series The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, based on the popular novels by Alexander McCall Smith, Scott said she discovered that she was pregnant just before leaving for Botswana where she filmed the show. “The first trimester I spent in Botswana,” said the star, who is due April 25. “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.” Still, the actress, who is engaged to drummer Lil’ John Roberts, says she’s glad she went through with the plans to film. “My doctors gave me a clean bill of health and said you can do this, so I did it.” ~ [Source]

I agree RC. I didn’t like the dark Jill. I know she will have a lot to say.
Another testament that you must move on with your life to receive the blessings you are due.

I been wandering what Ms. Jill Scott been up too. To hear that she’s pregnant is wonderful news. I hope she has a good pregnancy and that the baby is born healthy. I hope shortly after the baby is born she releases new material. Because I enjoy all of her music. I am a definate fan of hers. Go Jill!
