Skai Jackson is pregnant.

The 22-year-old actress is in a relationship with a man whom she has not yet identified but confirmed on Tuesday (12.11.24) that they are expecting their first child together.

“I’m excited to begin this new chapter in my life, embrace motherhood, and dive into new acting projects. My heart is so full,” she told People magazine.

The former child star is known for portraying Zuri Ross opposite Debbie Ryan in the Disney Channel sitcom ‘Jessie’ in the early 2010s, and she continued the role in the spinoff series ‘Bunk’d’ in subsequent years.

The happy news for Skai comes after a difficult summer in which he was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery.

In August, the former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant was arrested after officers were called to Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles after security guards noticed Skai and her boyfriend arguing.

However, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office later declined to file criminal charges against him.

A representative for Skai said: “Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding. We appreciate that the prosecutor decided very quickly that there should not be any charges, and Skai looks forward to putting this behind us.”

TMZ previously reported that Skai pushed her boyfriend “more than once” and the couple was detained by security until law enforcement arrived.

Both Skai and her boyfriend denied having a physical fight and are said to have told officers they were engaged.

There was no weapon or identifiable injury involved in the incident, according to the sheriff’s department at the time.

Skai and her unnamed partner had previously kept their relationship away from the public.
