Skai Jackson is going to be a mom. The former Disney star confirmed her pregnancy to PEOPLE Magazine along with pictures of her growing baby bump.
“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” the 22-year-old shared with the outlet. Previously, rumors that she was pregnant began circulating after she was arrested on misdemeanor charges in August 2024 for alleged domestic violence.
In the report, she and her boyfriend informed police that there was no physical altercation and that they were engaged and expecting. The charges against Jackson were later dropped.
While she prepares for motherhood, the Jessie actress has a new project debuting later this year. Per PEOPLE, Jackson is set to star in The Man in the White Vandue in theaters on Dec. 13. According to Collider, the film is a horror-thriller from director Warren Skeels. Loosely based on a true story, it explores what happened in a quaint family town in Florida in 1974, where an ominous white van stalks a young girl and her parents.
“Growing up, I was never a Disney girl who watched Disney movies,” shared Jackson with the outlet of joining the cast.
“I used to watch Chucky and Freddy Krueger, so I love any type of horror film. When this audition came across, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I just have to!’ This was really fun to work on, and getting to have this experience and tell the story. I’m definitely proud of the film.”
