Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson is pregnant with her first child!

The 22-year-old actor confirmed in a new interview with People that she is expecting a child with her boyfriend. She has not revealed the name of her partner.

“I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life: embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects,” she told the publication. “My heart is so full!”

TODAY.com has reached out to Jackson’s rep for comment.

Jackson started out as a child actor in several Disney Channel sitcoms. She first played Zuri Ross in the series ‘Jessie’ from 2011 to 2015. She then continued to play the character in the spin-off ‘Bunk’d’ from 2015 to 2018.

Since then, she has appeared in an episode of “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” played the role of a young Keke Palmer in the actor’s 2023 musical short “Big Boss” and attended the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

Jackson also competed on season 29 of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ which aired in 2020. The actor, who worked with professional dancer Alan Bersten, finished in fifth place.

For Jackson’s next project, she will star in the upcoming thriller “The Man in the White Van.” The film will be released in theaters on December 13.

In addition to being a performer, Jackson is also a published author. In October 2019, she released a memoir titled “Reach for the Skai: How to Inspire, Empower, and Clapback,” which included powerful lessons she learned growing up as a child star.

Shortly after the memoir was released, she stopped by TODAY with Hoda and Jenna to talk about the message and give advice to young children struggling to be themselves. “Don’t be afraid,” said Jackson, then 17.

“If you feel a certain way, don’t be afraid to tell your parents,” added Jackson, who was raised by a single mother. “I know I used to be like that. But I think it’s very important to go to your parents and talk about certain things.

She revealed that she wasn’t always confident, but her mother, Kiya Cole, helped her believe in herself.
