Skai Jackson is Expecting Her First Baby!

The former child star is best known for her role as Zuri Ross on ‘Jessie’ and ‘Bunk’d.’

Skai Jackson is preparing for a new chapter in her life—motherhood!

The former Disney star has confirmed fans’ suspicions that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, whom she did not identify during her recent interview with PEOPLE

The 22-year-old actress expressed her excitement, telling the outlet, “I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life—embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!”

As she steps into motherhood, Jackson credits her own mom, Kiya Cole, for shaping her into the confident person she is today. “Without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now,” Jackson said.

Several blogs have picked up photos of the actress showing off her glowing baby bump in a chic, edgy maternity look. However, she has yet to make an official announcement on Instagram.

Skai was spotted in a chic white cropped button-down layered over a fitted bandeau top that confidently highlights her baby bump. She paired it with light-wash, relaxed-fit jeans for a laid-back yet polished look. 

The “Jessie” alum finished her ensemble with black-heeled boots, stylish sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, and a tortoiseshell handbag. 

Ahead of the baby’s arrival, Skai is also busy with her career. She stars in the upcoming feature film “The Man in the White Van,” set for release on December 13. She recently supported the film at Comic-Con.
