Skai Jackson, the former Disney Channel star, is stepping into an exciting new phase of her life as she announces her pregnancy. The 22-year-old actress, recognized for her starring roles in popular series such as “Jessie” and “Bunk’d,” confirmed the joyful news through a representative. Jackson revealed to People magazine that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, who remains unnamed.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the journey ahead, Jackson shared, “My heart is so full,” reflecting on the prospect of this personal and professional “new chapter.”
This announcement comes just three months after Jackson faced an arrest in August due to a domestic incident at Universal Studios in Hollywood. The situation, which involved a physical altercation with her boyfriend, led to her being detained, although both parties denied any wrongdoing. The Los Angeles District Attorney ultimately decided not to pursue charges, attributing the incident to a misunderstanding, which Jackson’s representative confirmed.
As Jackson prepares for motherhood, she is no stranger to working with children, having lent her voice to various kids’ shows like “Bubble Guppies,” “Dora the Explorer,” and “Dragons: Rescue Riders.” In addition to her Disney legacy, she has appeared in HBO’s “A Black Lady Sketch Show” and in a music video with rapper Lil Nas X.
This new chapter seems to be a moment of growth and resilience for Jackson, who is transitioning from a tumultuous period to the joyful anticipation of becoming a parent. The news of her pregnancy can be seen as a fresh start, allowing her to focus on her family while continuing to thrive in her career.
Positive developments often arise from trials, and for Jackson, this is undoubtedly an occasion to celebrate and look forward to a bright future ahead for both her and her growing family.
