Jill Scott And Fiance Call it Quits

First comes the baby, then comes the breakup. Doesn’t that seem to be the theme in celebrity relationships these days?  Just months after Jill Scott welcomed her first son, Jett, with fiance John Roberts, the singer has announced she’s now single.  Jill broke the news to Essence.com when they asked how her hubby-to-be was adjusting to fatherhood:

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.”

I couldn’t stop hearing  Jill’s song “The Fact Is (I Need You)” in my head when I first heard this news, but one thing’s for sure, she doesn’t seem too intimidated by single motherhood:

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.”

Though the split is unfortunate, at least the couple seems to be moving on in an amicable way. As we know, that’s not always the case in celeb-land.

What a deceitful lying female that Jill Scott is. I believe from the beginning that she and her “fiance had no plans to marry. She planned to be a single mother and this guy was simply a sperm donor with a face. There is nothing noble, proud, and honorable about having a bastard child…if that’s you’re whole intentions then go to a fertility clinic and look for a donor. She owes so much to this child to have him enter a world with parents who are married. How can one be a good parent and teach their child that it’s acceptable to have children out of wedlock or be promiscuous? What a world. Jill, you are pathetic.

This is wrong. Before I have a child I will make sure that the father puts a ring on my finger, take me to the court house, and give me his last name. I’m too damn old to be playing house, if we in it together then let us be real and put a ring on it…if not then keep walking. Females need to stop playing themselves and allowing these guys to do the same. There aint nothing cute about having children out of wedlock, if he can help make that baby then he can ”put a ring on it”.

Jill, you would make your child so proud…about not marrying his dad. *sarcasm*

Hi Jill, first I love you. I just wanted to say that God don’t make mistakes, Maybe you and your guy was just for a season. You guys will be okay no matter what happen, all of you. I was a single mom of two girls and I was raised to have and wedding then kids, but it didn’t work out that way. But God still sent me a father for my girls maybe even better than the real deal. I say that because he stay with us no matter what life throw at us. We are a family. So I said all that to say this, keep doing you and live your life like its golden because you don’t need him to make your son a man. YOU got all you need in you to make him the next President Oboma. I know this because your smile lights me up and your son will to. Do you !

Shepard from San Diego Said on

Another celeb who feels that it’s morally acceptable by having “b@stard” children. What a horrible message to send out there. Children, should not be brought up in a world with just one parent, you may think it’s ok to do so but a mother can never tell her son how to be a man or what it’s like to be a man, if you think so, then you are clearly delusional. Yes, there a many single mothers out there but does that make it right? If many did REALLY believe so they wouldn’t be looking for a father for their children…so stop all this fake independence stuff like, ”I don’t need a man”. Umm, yes you do especially to conceive that child so therefore you do need that child’s father in that child’s life. Black people need to wake up.



PAPA Said on

MUCH LOVE TO JILL. SHE IS STRONG BLACK WOMAN AND WILL BE A GREAT PARENT SINGLE OR NOT. MY MOM RAISED FOUR BOYS WITH THE HELP OF GOD AND FAMILY LIKE MANY BEFORE AND AFTER HER. I AM SORRY SHE AND MAN SPLIT, BUT SUCH IS LIFE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE AN EXTENDED FAMILY OF EIGHT CHILDREN, TWENTY-THREE GRAND AND ONE GREAT-GRANDCHILD. NO MATTER THE SITUATION ALL CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING FROM GOD



Weatherspoon Said on

I feel when women are going through pregency they don’t make right choices, because they let their emotions get in the way of making the right choice. I feel she shouldn’t break the engagement off.



PHOEBE B Said on

CONGRATULATION’S JILL ON YOUR NEW ARRIVAL. BLACK WOMEN HAVE BEEN RAISING CHILDREN BY THEMSELVES AND DOING A WONDERFUL JOB AND I’M SURE YOU WILL ALSO. ALSO I COMMEND YOU AND YOUR EX-FIANCE FOR HAVING THE ABILITY TO LET GO OF A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS NOT WORKING, RATHER THAN HANGING ON JUST SO THAT A CHILD CAN LIVE IN THE HOUSE WITH TWO UNHAPPY ADULTS. A CHILD NEEDS LOVE, SHELTER AND COMFORT AND ALSO A PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE.
IT IS DISTURBING TO HEAR THAT IN 2009 THERE ARE WOMEN WHO BELIEVE WE HAVE TO HAVE A MAN IN OUR LIVES IN ORDER FOR US TO BE WHOLE.
FOR THE COMMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!!! ACUTUALLY YOU NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER CULTURES THEY ARE DOING THE SAME. IT KILLS ME THAT AS BLACKS WE PUT OURSELVES DOWN.



Dee Said on

Join the club Jill, it is done everyday by moms all over the world



Rajaad Said on

WOW!



Dee Said on

So many nasty judgemental comments. You dont know why they split so dont judge!



unknown Said on

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees through this chic. She is a complete FRAUD and a LIAR.



Mici Said on

Those all those judgemental commentors who are you to judge anyone on their choices only God knows how many skeletons you holier than thou folk have in your closet . Jill Scott doesn’t care what you people think nor do you help her pay her bills. All that said Jill there is no shame in not marrying the father of your child, sometimes life doesn’t work out the way we planned and we have to move on and do what is best for us no point being married to person and knowing fully well you don’t love each other any longer kids pick up on things like that and it affects them a hell of a lot more than if you are not together but they know you both care for and love them



msruby Said on

I totally expected this because she was on the rebound from her broken marriage and so happen he was there to pick up th pieces and she thought they connected. But when you are on the rebound you never see things clearly. No one really knows why she is divorced and maybe she thought she did want to marry this guy but realized that she didn’t want to make the same mistake twice. KUDUS to Jill for waking up before it was too late. The 2 of them don’t have to be married or together to be great parents. To All You Haters With Those Negative Comments…She Is Human And Is Entitled To Make Mistakes Because Yanno What No One Is Perfect!! I Guess Ignorance Is Bliss Especially On Line…GEEZE



nikki Said on

wow the comments on here are ridiculious for 1 No one on this earth has the right to judge her or anyone else do you know how many women have children without being married not to say that its right in the eyes of God but come on she is not God she is human and I know my mother told me do not throw stones when you live in a glass house. examine all your stones first.



saswatc7 Said on

I have to go with the proverb judge not lest ye be judged…we don’t know the circumstances and quite frankly it’s none of our buisness..ALL THE BEST TO JILL AND HER SON



unknown Said on

The problem with the black community especially is that nobody wants to stand up for what is right. Having children out of wedlock is nothing new to blacks. It has become the norm. It is almost always expected. I’m not going to make excuses for Jill. She is grown. She isn’t some teenager. She could have made better choices. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted at the attitude of many of you on this board. This is not exceptable!
