Jill Scott and John Roberts

Jill Scott and her man, John Roberts aka “Lil Jon” are done. Right after of her son Jett was born, things got messy and now they’ve gone the way of every black couple in Hollyweird these days – to divorce court. Damn yall – can’t we all just get along

ESSENCE.COM: Well, at least your hubby-to-be was there to support. How has he been adjusting to Jett?

SCOTT: Yes, he was there and for a couple of days afterwards while I stayed in hospital, but John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you’re dealing with a lot of emotions and I don’t know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens.

We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is. I have a lot of support, so I want for nothing as far as that’s concerned. I know some might criticize me or the fact that my son is being raised in a single-parent home, but I wasn’t raised in a two-parent home and I had a good relationship with my dad. I have hopes for him and I’m sure his father will do his part as well.

Another single mother. SMH

  • SHAMAR FROM THE M TOWN

    these women dont want these men anyway they just use them to make a baby but i dont understand marrying the dude thou

  • imani

    they were never legally married so there is no ‘problem’ he will continue being the father of his child & she the mother. it might be less than optimal, but such is life.

  • Caramel Cat

    something’s fishy with this story…

  • wtfever

    Typical

  • bay girl

    He always looked a lil DL to me (even though I’ve only seen him one other time) His whole personna just screams gay best friend!!! Maybe they had a deal?

  • Ms. T

    Ugh. WTF JILL? W.T.F? Maybe he went to go pack some more fudge since he wasn’t diggin the rug.

  • I’m Just ME

    Co-parenting? Wow. Jill, Momma those feeling and emotions are post-natal. We all go through them. Get your mind right and get back with that man. It wasn’t that serious, I am sure.

  • Simply Beautiful

    LOL…. I hope this isn’t true because if it is, then I’ve lost all respect for Jill Scott. She’s either a VERY confused woman from jump or those post-natal hormones are driving her insane.

    What woman justifies ending a relationship so soon after a child is born? And what woman tries to use her own situation as a justification for a single parent household?

    What’s up with African American families? Have y’all all just lost it????

  • Theory of Truth

    I’m sad to hear that Jill and her dude broke up, but she doesn’t seem to be to broken up about it.

  • melo

    I don’t like her very much, but I’m not glad this is happening to her.

  • WordtotheWise

    As the old saying goes, “another one bites the dust.” Sorry Jill. I still love you know and I know you are a phenomenal mommy.

  • WordtotheWise

    Wow. I meant to say, “Sorry, Jill. I still love you…”

  • bay girl

    @Marquis de Sade

    Lol too funny, did your mum sit you down and tell how you came to be…poor thang!

  • twinkle

    This is sad.
    I think we all are becoming a bit too selfish. In recent cases of divorce or separation, it’s been all about what “I” couldn’t or can’t … We’re living in a disposable era! Everyone wants to discard anything old or broken. We are the true mechanics?

  • TNF

    This dude had already had MULTPILE children with MULTIPLE women, that in itself should’ve been a clue to Jill.

    Now this baby Jill just another one of his many baby’s mamas.

    Shits disguting…Women need to stop blaming men and start taking accountability for their own choices!

  • twinkle

    Oops! “Where” are the true mechanics?

  • bay girl

    I don’t think Jill gives 2 hoots whether the man’s there or not, I think she just feels elated and blessed to finally have a child after being told she couldn’t

  • http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/Site%20Index.htm We “Blacks” Are The REAL Hebrew Israelites

    She needs to hire Precious Ramotswe to find out what the hell happened to her marriage.

  • john hope franklin

    she was never married to dude.
    cant wait to hear the lyrics on the new album.
    and can we get a nursing shot/pic of her…probably massive…

  • Tuesday’s Child

    It’s not that serious. I prefer co-parenting (living seperately) than 2 ppl who are married and can’t stand each other, which leads to tension in the household around the children. Jett will want for nothing emotionally or financially, so let them be happy co-parents!!!

  • MDCHAMPLADY

    That guy seemed a lil off to me anyway, I don’t think she used him to get a baba tho..Cuz doctors told her she couldn’t have any kids..

  • Lady Shady

    damn, already, damn!?

  • Thatbitch

    I know Jill is a strong, talented woman and could easily raise a child on her own, but DAMN, she just gave birth! A couple of months ago they were talking marriage, now they’ve broken up? Did they even try?

  • http://www.twitter.com/IHearMusique Re—>I live in Bilbo Baggin’s shirt pocket.

    Isn’t this Jill’s second marriage? What’s up with these “consciencous (sp)” rappers and singers who write/sing beautiful music, but can’t apply it to their messy lives?

    Example: Erykah Badu (the queen of them all)
    Mos Def (the KING of them all, with his ex-stripper wife)…

  • capt’n backslap

    ok, maybe Jill is lez and this was a good way to cover it up so she doesnt have to go thru what queen latifah went thru???

  • Lady J

    This is Jill’s second divorce….I think the problem is Jill…something is wrong with her continually getting in bad relationships…I can understand the first time, BUT the second time in what less that a year???? She’s the problem….

  • Undacuvabrutha (Lovin’ Lala’s Tatas)

    I’d bang Jill.

  • CAT EYES

    I like her and everything but this is one confused sista.She had just gotten divorced from the first husband and not even 6 months later, she was pregnant for this mope.I heard stories of both men being on the DL but I don’t know how true it is.

  • Plastic007

    my girlfriend jill always keeps it real but this one i dont kno he already got 4 othe BM=baymamas wtf ? Jill u gotta me playing “cant explain” wat u do gil u kno u and karma goes tick for tat

  • L

    Well you can’t stay together just for the sake of the kid…thats not the righ thing to do…so I pray that all works out for the best.

  • Marsha..

    Please…

    Got a feeling that Jill will come out at some point…

    Wish…

    That black entertainment sites stop glorifing/promoting single parenthood…

  • DaHonestTruth ~ Turn My SWAG On

    well it didn’t work out and SUPRISE it doesn’t in over 50% of marriages today. too bad. i just hope the father does not use it as an excuse to abandon his child.

  • DaHonestTruth ~ Turn My SWAG On

    “It’s not that serious. I prefer co-parenting (living seperately) than 2 ppl who are married and can’t stand each other, which leads to tension in the household around the children. Jett will want for nothing emotionally or financially, so let them be happy co-parents!!!”

    AMEN!

  • Mama Mila

    Two HAPPY homes is better than ONE miserable one! Good for her!

  • Mama Mila

    Maybe Jill needs to talk to DEB…Irv Gotti’s wife.!!!

  • http://bossip mybaad

    another hetero marriage ends in divorce.. SMH

    who ever heard the part of the nuptials that say ’til death do us part or til i cant stand ur ass’.. ??

    sarcastically >>> LMFAO!!!

  • missunderstood

    SAD! And I thought she had something w/ this corny dude. Seems like she just got divorced a couple of years ago. And now she has a baby to boot… Jill can’t catch a break… I feel sorry for her….

  • Daphne

    Awww, that’s sad. I love Jilly from Philly. I wish her the best.

  • mzsweetface

    I have to say I saw it coming but I was hoping for the best. Jill will be a great mom and I hope she bounces back soon.

  • Rock Witchu

    maybe the problem is not him. maybe the baby isn’t his…..

  • l thomas

    I knew it wasn’t going to work. It seems she had jumped in this realtionship quick after her divorce. He looks suspect to me anyway. I also read on another website that she is difficult person to work with, I was shocked.

  • always knew

    WoW! this was so unexpected…

    I wish Jill, all the happiness in the world..

    Seems like she can’t catch a break, when it comes to love and blk men doing her wrong…

    DAMN! I’m all for blk love,(when keeping it real goes horribly, horribly wrong), but if the guys is not right, move on…Sorry for Jill, hopefully she will meet her soulmate…
    :( Move on, Ms. Scott..Keep the faith…

  • Caramel Cat

    @mark ginnis

    That’s really too bad. I’m not a big woman at all but I know there are men out there that actually prefer larger women, and they don’t fall into those categories you listed. :(

  • Caramel Cat

    @mark ginnis

    or maybe those are just american men. big women are very much appreciated in countries like mauritania…

    @missunderstood…Hey, Lady!!! :-)

    As for Jill Scott – we don’t know what went on behind closed doors. All this speculation will never lead to the truth. At least she has made they have both agreed to stay in the child’s life, even though they will no longer be together. Everybody in Hollyweird is not on the DL or on the verge of busting out of the closet. Shyt happens in relationships and just because celebrities go through things in the public eye (making it all the more difficult), doesn’t make them any less human than those of us who make the same mistakes.

    Jill, this is probably not an easy time with your bizz being on blast but keep “living your life like it’s golden”…cuz it is. You have been blessed with new life. Enjoy that baby!!!

  • Me No Likey “When Bossip is on some Bullshit”

    The story Jill is telling is full of lots and lots of holes.

    why was he even get the drawers worthy since he already had at least 3 reported baby mamas?

    why did she hit it raw with a man who is not the legal hubby?

    why even release any info to the public whatsoever regarding your relationship status?

  • Vandellish

    Hey at least she’s woman enough to admit that she probably played a part in the split. That says a lot for her character.
    Damn though…that’s still messed up cause she looked so happy…keep ya head up Ms. Scott…keep living, learning and growing.
    Peace to Everyone of Y’all

  • DCC

    I wish her the best of luck with the co-parenting thing because he has a child here that he doesn’t even come see when he is in town working gigs. That is so sad. Kids will remember that ish, Lil John!

  • cashmoneychick

    Were they legally married?

  • missunderstood

    @ MoniSings – Hey there! :)

  • TJ

    No matter how famous & talented Ms. Jill is, she’s still just a fat, low self esteem, Michael Straham neck having woman looking for a man. Unfortunately she’s apart of a society that looks are everything. She’s not going to find someone equally yoaked. Jill would have a better chance of finding a good man without her career. Sorry but it’s the truth.

  • Its6amHoGetOut, Goin’ To L.A. tomorrow morning for the BET afterparties and Vegas, I’ll let you know about any deep south niggas gettin’ robbed for fake jewelry!

    Maybe he left because she didnt lose the extra 200lbs of Baby weight!

    lol, rofl lmao!

    love 6am, I like her singin’ though!

  • http://bossip.com I done gave up that narcotic !

    Jill might not be a dream to live with…..maybe she can’t keep a man…you’ll be amazed at women who act like they’re always the victim.

  • JerseyBorn

    If you can’t get along with anybody it ain’t everybody else it’s you! I love Jill but perhaps she should seek help.

  • gb

    messed up for the kid

  • 2am

    Doesnt he already have 3 BabyMammas?

  • T-Boo

    Leave Jill alone….Jill I’m need you to get back in the studio I am missing the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

  • jakob

    how did this morph into a talk of ” co parenting”? could not these parents thought of this prior to having relations that can produce a child(no condom)? quite frankly, this is shamefull behaviour and black people in america, at one time, generally had a code of standards that would not allow such behaviour. This should be the same code of standards used to measure ourselves by in these days. People like this should be made to feel ashamed of what they have done. while there are mothers and fathers who HAVE NO CHOICE(by way of death ..etc) but to raise a child alone, they deserve the communal help not those who clearly have a choice in the matter..they should be asahmed of themselves.

  • enkogkneegro

    Lawd why erry nucca that sistas aint feelin cause they done broke up wit somebody or they wit somebody else they aint feeling gots ta be DL damn……

  • Master Bates

    Hope Jennifer Hudson takes heed to this situation cause I can see it coming w/her & her suspect man.

  • And One More Thing…

    this silly cow, she knows all about birth control, as evidenced by all her previous relationships that did NOT result in babies, she deliberately became a baby mama, she knew that man was no good from the get go, but she just wanted a child. typical nigg*r behaviour? Bravo.

    @TNF… Co-sign.

  • RockinSistaGurl

    Black love is a myth for Blacks these days. We used to have strong Black women and men and now we have shells of our ancestors love, integrity and commitment for each other. The Black community has blown Black men’s heads up to think all they have to do is “show up” and be BLACK and BW are supposed to worship at their feet…Give me a damn break! Jill is a smart beautiful woman who fell for the okey doke!! Maybe if she truly embraces God’s belief that we are all created equal and true love can be found with ANY GOOD MAN..Then, she will find true love. By restricting her choice on the get go with a Black Massa Kang…she restricts the prospect of true love finding her.

  • Spartylicious

    When I was in couple’s therapy with my husband, we were told that if we break up we shouldn’t get into a serious relationship for 2 years. We didn’t break up, but it just goes to say that Jill jumped from a long marriage to a new relationship and pregnancy right away. Unfortunately, I knew this wasn’t going to work.
