This week Jennifer Hudsonwas spotted in Florida with her mayn! Jennifer is now 8 months pregnant with her Harvard law graduate David Otunga, who is now pursing a pro-wrestling career.

Hudson recently through a baby shower in Chicago. But even though Hudson has been trying to keep her pregnancy under wraps her friend, Felicia Fields, told the “Chicago Tribune”:

“It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family. They’re really trying to keep it kind of quiet. It was a nice time that we had.”

As ma gurl over at Straight Outta NYC said…if Jennifer wanted to keep it quiet why is her “friend” opening up her mouth to the paper? Oh well….I hope it all goes well for them and they get their “happily ever after.”

 

Talking about babies…Jill Scottrecently had her child, Jett, with her back up drummer, Lil John, who WAS her fiancé. Yes, I said WAS!! Even though the lil sprog (baby) has only just been born the two have decided to call their relationship a day as Jill admitted in her interview with Essence.com:

“…John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you’re dealing with lot of emotion and I don’t know how much of it had to do with us breaking p, but it happens. We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is.”

It seems like she is satisfied with her decision to split up with her baby pappa…so good luck to them, hopefully it works out. I think there is however a valid lesson to be learnt here though….If you are with someone and have a child…there is NOTHING wrong with leaving the relationship if it is not working out. Sometimes it is better for a child to have two seperated parents that are happy and civil…rather than two parents who are together but clearly do not want to be! What do you think…true or false?

ESSENCE.COM: Congrats to you on your new bundle of joy, Jett Hamilton. How has motherhood been treating you?

SCOTT: Wonderful. I named him after a black gemstone that my makeup artist in Africa had; it was simply called Jet, and I fell in love with it and the name because I thought my beautiful baby is a gem. I truly loved being pregnant and feeling what was going on inside my body and watching it change. It’s difficult to recoup but still amazing nonetheless. I would have another one.

ESSENCE.COM: So does that mean you had an easy labor of love?

SCOTT: Not at all. I was in labor for 36 hours. After that experience, anytime I have reservations and think I can’t do anything I remind myself that I survived the birth of my child (Laughs). Although I didn’t scream my baby into this world, the pain continued after he was born for at least three weeks. During labor I felt like I needed to put the fire out. Everybody kept telling me the pain wasn’t going to last forever but after 20 hours of it I left the building. I felt like I was on the ceiling looking down at myself like, Dag, girl, you still in labor? I know my experience isn’t everyone’s but I believe people need to be realistic when sharing their stories about their pregnancies and birth. When he arrived I held him in my arms for about an hour and then went to sleep because I was simply exhausted.

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.
