Skai Jackson, the former Disney Channel star known for her roles in “Jessie” and “Bunk’d,” recently announced her pregnancy, marking a significant milestone in her life. A representative for the 22-year-old actress confirmed to the media that she is expecting her first child, although details about her boyfriend remain private.
In her message to People, Jackson expressed her joy, declaring, “My heart is so full,” and shared her excitement about embarking on this “new chapter in my life,” both personally and professionally.
This announcement comes just three months after a troubling incident where she was arrested at Universal Studios on charges related to suspected domestic violence involving her boyfriend. Despite the initial situation, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office later decided not to press charges against her, with a representative updating the public that the incident was ultimately characterized as a misunderstanding.
Jackson has long been a familiar face in children’s entertainment, also lending her voice to popular series such as “Bubble Guppies,” “Dora the Explorer,” and “Dragons: Rescue Riders.” Beyond her earlier work on Disney, she has explored diverse roles in HBO’s “A Black Lady Sketch Show” and various feature films.
This exciting news of her pregnancy offers a hopeful outlook for Jackson as she prepares for motherhood while continuing to pursue her career in entertainment. Fans and onlookers will likely be eager to see how this next chapter unfolds for the talented young actress.
