Hey, Jessie! Do you have any availability to babysit again? Former Disney Channel star and soon-to-be horror actress Skai Jackson tells People she’s pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend, who has not been identified publicly. “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 star exclaims in the announcement. Next month, her upcoming film The Man in the White Van transitions her into the darker horror genre and out of the spooky childhood stardom. Okay, maybe it won’t be that big of a transition, but it’s definitely a change from feelin’ like a party every day.
The couple’s happy news comes months after more shocking relationship reports. In August, Jackson was arrested for domestic violence in Los Angeles. However, shortly after Jackson was released from the arrest, the couple denied any physical altercation and said it was a misunderstanding. She was not charged with a misdemeanor. In the original report from TMZ, the two claimed to be in a happy relationship, engaged and pregnant with their first child, but neither was confirmed then. If anyone was looking for more relationship tea from Jackson, she posted on Instagram with a subtle warning: “Buzz off, you freak!â€
