Skai Jackson is expecting her first child.
The actress, 22, announced her pregnancy with People, with the outlet sharing photos of the star and her burgeoning baby bump.
Jackson is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, whose identity is not yet known.
‘I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!’ she told the publication.
In photos posted by the outlet, Skai displayed her baby bump in a lilac crop top as she enjoyed an outing with her mother Kiya Cole.

It comes after Skai sparked pregnancy rumors last week while spotted in LA cradling her stomach.
The pregnancy news comes several months after Skai was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery but not charged.
In September it was revealed that the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office declined to file charges and dropped the case against her.
She was previously arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles, California after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend.
Police responded to a call from the theme park after security personnel detained Jackson for allegedly pushing her boyfriend.
Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage of the alleged incident.
No weapons were involved and there were no any identifiable injuries, the sheriff’s department confirmed at the time.
‘Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding,’ a representative for Jackson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

‘We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her,’ it continued.
At the time of her arrest, law enforcement sources told TMZ she told the arresting officers she was ‘happily engaged and expecting a baby.’
The star — who avoided questions from fans in regards to her arrest — did not have charges filed against her due to prosecutors finding a lack of evidence, TMZ reported.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office informed the outlet that the case will not go forward due to Jackson not having any criminal history.
The alleged victim, her boyfriend, does not have any injuries and had also not been cooperating with prosecutors.
Jackson is best known for her roles on Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and spin-off Bunk’d, both of which ended in 2018.
