Seems like yesterday people all over the world were crying for Jill Scott after finding out she’d divorced her longtime part-lyrical muse Lyzel Williams. But now, Jill Scott has moved on for real…and she has a baby in the oven to prove it.
According to People magazine, the 36-year-old soul singer is now pregnant with her first child. The father is fiancée, drummer Lil' John Roberts. Scott announced the pregnancy on Friday to reporters at the Television Critics Association conference while promoting her new HBO series The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
"The first trimester I spent in Botswana," she said. "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."
But in spite of the usual travails of pregnancy, Scott says her physician gave her the thumbs up to continue her work.
“"My doctors gave me a clean bill of health and said you can do this, so I did it."
Scott is due April 25.
