Jill Scott talks about motherhood
Actress Jill Scott, new mom to son Jett Hamilton, recently spoke with Esssence about her baby boy, her split with Lil John Roberts and her intense 36-hour labor!
She said, “Everybody kept telling me the pain wasn’t going to last forever, but after 20 hours of [labor], I left the building. I felt like I was on the ceiling, looking down at myself like, ‘[Dang], girl, you still in labor?’”
Jill also said that she named her baby boy after a black gemstone,
“because I thought my beautiful baby is a gem,” She continued, “When he arrived I held him in my arms for about an hour and then went to sleep because I was simply exhausted.”
Though she and her ex-fiance Lil John Roberts called off the engagement just after Jett was born, Jill says they are working together to raise their son. “We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. I have hopes for [Jett] and I’m sure his father will do his part as well,” she said.
