Lauryn Hill, after months of speculation, has announced that she is indeed pregnant with her sixth child.
According to Radar Online, Hill, 36, made the joyous announcement on June 4 at the end of her concert at Detroit’s Chene Park.
“I’m going to be taking time to give birth,” said Hill, wearing a flowing striped gown that left little mystery about her baby bump.
Hill decided not to reveal the identity of the child’s father or a specific due date but it’s assumed that Hill is in her second trimester and will give birth later this year.
Hill hinted at the pregnancy two months ago during a show at Club Nokia in Los Angeles when she told her audience, “I keep having these children. I don’t know if I’m the most fertile woman in America. I’ve got five big children, you believe that? If you ask anybody I went to high school with, they’d be like puzzled … Wait till you hear the big secret though.”
Hill already has five children – Zion David-Nesta, 13, Selah, 12, Joshua, 9, John, 7, and 3-year-old Sarah — with on/off partner Rohan Marley, the son of music legend Bob Marley. Is it that she just loves giving birth and the “art” of motherhood? Is she desperate for love to the point of being a human incubator and creating armies for a man – or men, since she opted not to reveal this last seed’s father – who won’t commit to her?
There’s some screwy psychology going on here, it seems. What do you think?
