Jill Scott Confirms Pregnancy

Congrats to Jill Scott and her fiancee Jon Roberts, they are expecting! She confirmed her pregnancy to the press at the Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles on Friday.

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.”

Look for Jill to get in the studio and record an album called "Brown Baby Lullabies". It will go from concept album to the real thing. She has talked about recording it in the past but she didn't want to record it until she was pregnant. Now, she has the green light, or shall we say, pink or blue light. Jill and Jon's little bundle of joy is due in April. Best wishes from the Working Divas Staff.
