3x Grammy Award winner and actress Jill Scott, 36, is pregnant with her first child, as she revealed to reporters 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, “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 my doctors gave me a clean bill of health and said you can do this, so I did it.”
She is engaged to drummer Lil’ John Roberts and is due on April 25th.

I like the IDEA of being a mom, but I don’t think I could do it.
Yay Jill. I love how she has to TELL people she is 6 months preggers cuz she is so fat you can’t notice the pregnancy. LOL. But go head Jill – she is fat but pretty.
Love ya, Jilly. She’s a beautiful woman, and the people making negative comments – please post your picture and grow up!

Ann, please go read a book or something. Jill has always been thick and now that all the weight is in her stomach and breasts of course she is gonna look bigger. You are an idiot.
Congrats Jill! I know she will make an excellent mother, I can see her tearin her childs butt up if they get outtta line lol :O

OH & TAURUS BABIES ROCK… AT LEAST MINE DOES!! LOL
love jill, she looks happy and she has that pregnant glow, i see she went ahead and cut off all her hair, but it looks good and very easy to manage, you know i just really got into her last cd, i got it when it came out, i think 2007 and listened to it maybe 2x just skipping thru, so i put it in the car like 2 1/2 weeks ago and oh my goodness i am hooked, that cd is the bomb.
AVENGE OSCAR GRANT’S DEATH NOW & ANN, please please grow up!!! This post isn’t about her weight. It’s about the beautiful gift of being a mother. Kick rocks, jump off a bridge, stand in the middle of the freeway, swallow nails, play in gasoline with a burning cigarette in your mouth, etc, etc…. YOU ARE IDIOTS!!!!! I bet if we saw you, we’d surely find something ugly about you besides your personality…. GET A LIFE!!!!
