Jill Scott and her drummer fiance, Lil’ John Roberts, are expecting their her first child.

The three-time Grammy Award-winning R&B singer and actress revealed the news to reporters while promoting her new HBO series The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency at the Television Critics Association conference in Los Angeles on Friday.

Jill says she discovered that she was pregnant just before leaving for Botswana where she filmed the show.

She is due April 25.

“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.”

“My doctors gave me a clean bill of health and said you can do this, so I did it.”
