JILL SCOTT:PREGNANT AND ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Singer Jill Scott is on top of the world. This month alone, the singer is featured in People magazine as one of television’s “breakout stars”, she is featured on the cover of Jet magazine, and she has a “No. 1″ show featured on HBO. On top of everything else, she is expecting her first “miracle” child at the end of this month. Everything seems to be falling into place for the expectant mom.
“I’m 36 and this is my first, so this is big for me,” she confides. “I’m excited. This is a great time in my life. And now, I can actually sit at home and watch the show. I’m going to take some time off. I don’t now how long. We’ll see how this goes. I pray for a healthy baby, so I guess everything is dependent on that.”
She tells Jet magazine, that her unborn child is a “warrior”.
“So far, he’s been to Africa with me, he’s worked in extreme heat and during 14-15 hour days. He’s hung in there with me through this whole thing and I just cannot get over it. This is incredible.”
Incredible because Jill was told by doctors that she would never be able to conceive, She reveals to People UK,
“I still don’t know how to explain it. A miracle birth?” There has to be some medical explanation but nobody has given it to me. And I kind of like the idea of a miracle birth. I’m quite old to be a first-time mum - and with my medical problems, I find it hard to come up with what you might call a rational explanation.”
Jill and her fiance Lil John Roberts are expecting a baby boy on April 25th. They do plan to get married but the baby has altered their plans.
“We are just people, of course, so we have to deal with one thing at a time. We may get married. We may not. Who knows? We don’t. We’re just taking it as slow as we can.”
Jill’s new series, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, airs Sundays at 8pm EST.
That guy in the pic with her is handsome. He is a model guy, I think. Anyways, Jill’s baby is such a blessing. Congrats on the pregnancy Jill.
is that the baby daddy, he is a cutie
I’m so happy for her. Best wishes.
Aww is he her husband? That’s good she should name her child Miracle, if it’s a girl.
So BCK are you going to do anything with the Up and Coming entries you recieved which I know you have probably recieved over a ton. I bet Im not the only one waiting………….
No that is not her man (but he can be mine lol). He is an actor and they were both featured for their tv shows.
I was about to say, that guy and her do not match! Makes sense that that’s just an actor or model.
what you mean don’t match? most I.R couples don’t match to me lol ??
Love Jilly! Can’t wait until she has her baby.
O.K?, first of all I meant their LOOKS don’t match, NOT their color. Second of all, they aren’t an interracial couple—they aren’t together. Third, think about it: would a person with the name “MixtryMama” have a problem with interracial couples? …especially since I’m in one.
The guy is a model. Her fiance’ is Lil John Roberts. He is the drummer in her band. I am very excited for her. God blesses us when we least expect it.
How does one’s looks match? If anything he looks kind of young for her and maybe that’s just how I’m viewing it. But this pic reflects more reality of if people dated without worrying about other people’s perceptions of what looks right this sort of couple would be more the norm.
Can’t tell you how much attention I get at the gym, and I’m about Jill’s size and not in a negative and trust I’d know it’s always intimidating being the big girl at the gym:) But this society puts an unrealistic standard on beauty that people simply go with.
db>>>preach!!!
I wish Jill the best….I love her music….I’m sooo happy for her. Hope she has a healthy baby. I think she is due this month.
If it’s a miracle pregnancy, that means she was having unprotected sex…on purpose? Really? Wow.
But Congrats to her all the same. I enjoy her music.
