On November 12, 2024, actress Skai Jackson was photographed in Los Angeles, showcasing her baby bump while walking with her mother. Confirming the pregnancy to People Magazine, Jackson revealed that the father of her child is her boyfriend, though she has chosen not to disclose his identity publicly.

Expressing her excitement, Jackson said, “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 news follows weeks of social media speculation that began after paparazzi captured her appearing to cradle her stomach under a white flannel. This prompted both discussion and controversy online about the pregnancy and the identity of the father.

Previously, Jackson faced legal issues, including a September 2024 arrest on suspicion of domestic battery, a case that was later dropped by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. She was also arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios City Walk following an alleged altercation with her boyfriend, during which she first mentioned her pregnancy, though she was not visibly pregnant at that time.
