Skai Jackson is officially a mom!
The 22-year-old actress, best known for her Disney Channel days, has welcomed her first child, Just Jared confirms.
Skai shared the exciting news on Instagram on Sunday (January 26), posting an adorable photo of her newborn holding onto her fingers. The baby, sweetly named Kasai, looked cosy in a flannel onesie. Her caption? A simple yet heartfelt: “Kasai 🧸🤎.”
The news follows Skai’s official pregnancy announcement in November 2024. The baby’s father is reportedly her boyfriend, Deondre Burgin, who’s known on social media as Yerkky Yerkky.
Skai’s post was flooded with love from her famous friends. “😍😍😍😍,” wrote Keke Palmer, while rapper JT chimed in with: “Congratulations baby girl💕💕💕💕.”
Rumors about Skai’s pregnancy began circulating last summer, during a legal situation involving her and Deondre. The speculation was confirmed in November 2024, shortly before Deondre faced legal trouble. He was arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio, on a juvenile parole violation warrant after a standoff with police, according to TMZ.
Despite the challenges, Skai is now embracing motherhood and sharing her joy with fans. Congratulations to Skai on this exciting new chapter!
