Jill Scott Divorcing


It has been confirmed by The BV Newswire, that our Neo-Soul queen, Jill Scott, is divorcing her husband, Lyzell Williams, after five years of marriage.

The two marriage in the fall of 2001 during a private ceremony in Hawaii.

Williams, who was a much-sought after graphic designer and DJ, dated Scott for seven years before the wedding.

"We went to the club, we hung out, we danced, we shook it up, we drank, we
partied," she spoke of Williams in an interview with 'Launch' in 2001. "But we
also went to carnivals, and we took long walks. I enjoyed his company so much.
I'm glad I can say I'm such, so resoundingly blessed to have him in my life."

Williams was the muse for some of Jill's composition, most notably, "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)" - which has been reinterpretated by Karen Clark Sheard and sang on stage by Beyonce.

sidenote: Why did it take them SO LONG to get married, in the first place?
