Jill Scott and fiance Lil’ John Roberts welcomed their baby Jett Hamilton Roberts into the world at 4:20 pm on April 20. Jett weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces.

Jill was told she couldn’t have kids.

Jill discovered she was pregnant while filming her HBO series “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” in Botswana, and told Access Hollywood, “At one point I was trying to gain weight for the role, and I noticed I had put on 7 lbs. in 7 days. And I thought, my god! What’s going on here,” she told the mag in January. “I thought something was wrong with me, and I found out I was pregnant the day I was supposed to leave for Africa.”

Congrats to the happy couple.
