Jill Scott Gives Birth


Jill Scott is celebrating the arrival of motherhood.

The Grammy-winning neo-soul songstress and her fiance, drummer Lil’ John Roberts, welcomed a baby boy this week.

The star of HBO’s new drama, The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, gave birth to Jett Hamilton Roberts –who weighed in at 7 lbs, 8 oz–at 4:20 p.m. on April 20, according to People.com.

News on Jill's baby boy has been covered by several news media. Besides, an announcement is also made on her official website.

Jill Scott, who is an R 'n' B singer and TV actress, discovered she was pregnant with Lil' John Roberts' baby shortly before she left for Botswana to film her HBO's series "The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency". In early January 2009, she told the Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles, "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."

However, Jill was quick to confirm, "My doctors gave me a clean bill of health and said you can do this, so I did it." She initially was scheduled to give birth this Saturday, April 25.

Both mom and baby are doing fine.

Congrats to Jill!
