Skai Jackson is pregnant.

The 22-year-old actress is in a relationship with a man she has yet to publicly identify, but confirmed on Tuesday (12.11.24) that they are expecting their first child together.

She told People magazine: “I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life – embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full.”

The former child star is best known for her role as Zuri Ross on the Disney Channel sitcom “Jessie” opposite Debbie Ryan in the early 2010s and continued in the role on the spin-off “Bunk’d” in the years that followed.

The happy news for Skai comes after a rough summer in which she was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault.

In August, the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant was arrested after police officers were called to Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles when security saw Skai and her boyfriend arguing.

However, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office declined to file charges against her.

A representative for Skai said: “Skai is relieved that the investigation has revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding. We appreciate that the prosecution determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind him. “

TMZ previously reported that Skai shoved her boyfriend “several times” and the couple was held by security until law enforcement arrived.

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

No weapons were involved and no identifiable injuries, according to the sheriff’s department at the time.

Skai and her unnamed partner have previously kept their relationship out of the public eye.
