Skai Jackson is pregnant. The 22-year-old former Disney star, best known for her roles in Jessie and its spinoff, Bunk’d, confirmed the news to People on Tuesday. “I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects,” she said in a statement.
According to People, Jackson is expecting the child with her boyfriend, who has not been publicly identified. In August, Jackson was arrested for domestic battery after the pair got into a fight at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood. Security footage showed Jackson pushing him twice. She was cited then released a few hours later. At the time, the couple denied that anything got physical and claimed they were happily engaged and expecting a baby. Jackson also has a new project on the horizon: She’s starring in the thriller The Man in the White Van, which arrives in theaters in December.
