Skai Jackson gets a new role.

The former Disney Channel star, 22, announced that she is pregnant and expecting her first child with her boyfriend, whose identity has yet to be revealed.

“I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life: embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” she told People in a new interview published Tuesday.

The “Jessie” alum’s pregnancy first came to light in August after she was arrested for domestic violence.

Jackson reportedly had an argument with her partner at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California at the time.

She pushed her partner, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, but was not charged.

“Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding,” her rep told People.

“We appreciate that the district attorney very quickly decided that no charges should be filed,” the spokesperson continued. “Skai is looking forward to putting this behind him.”

Sources close to the couple, who denied they were in a physical fight, told TMZ they were engaged and expecting a child.

While the “Bunk’d” alum kept her burgeoning belly off social media, the pregnant star was spotted in a Los Angeles parking lot in October (via the Shade Room).

The soon-to-be star kept her bump covered in an oversized flannel shirt over a white tank top and gray shorts.

Jackson is best known for her time on Disney Channel from 2011 to 2018, where she did voice acting for “Marvel Rising” and “DreamWorks Dragons: Rescue Riders.”

The “Sheroes” star competed on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2020 season 29 and placed fifth.
