Disney star Skai Jackson, 22, confirms pregnancy with boyfriend months after domestic battery drama

Skai Jackson is expecting her first child.

The 22-year-old actress announced her pregnancy with People, with the outlet sharing photos of the star and her growing baby bump.

Jackson is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, whose identity is not yet known.

“I’m so excited to start 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 shared by the outlet, Skai showed off her baby bump in a purple crop top while enjoying an outing with her mother, Kiya Cole.

This comes after Skai sparked pregnancy rumors last week when she was spotted holding her belly in LA.

The pregnancy news comes several months after Skai was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault but not charged.

In September it was announced 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 guards arrested Jackson for allegedly pushing her boyfriend.

Officers reviewed surveillance footage of the alleged incident.

There were no weapons involved and there were no apparent injuries, the sheriff’s department confirmed at the time.

“Skai is relieved that the investigation determined this was simply a misunderstanding,” a representative for Jackson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“We appreciate that the District Attorney’s Office very quickly determined that no charges should be filed, and Skai looks forward to putting this behind him,” it continued.

At the time of her arrest, law enforcement sources told TMZ that she told arresting officers she was “happily engaged and expecting a baby.”

No charges were filed against the star, who dodged fans’ questions about her arrest, as prosecutors found a lack of evidence, TMZ reported Saturday.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told the outlet that the case will not be pursued because Jackson has no prior criminal record.

The alleged victim, her boyfriend, had no injuries and had not cooperated with prosecutors.

Jackson is best known for her roles on the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and the spin-off Bunk’d, both of which ended in 2018.
