Skai Jackson is going to be a mom! The former Disney star, 22, is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend (who Jackson has not publicly identified), PEOPLE confirms exclusively.
“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” Jackson tells PEOPLE. Jackson next stars in the feature film The Man in the White Van. She recently attended Comic-Con to support the film, which will be released in theaters on Dec. 13.
As she prepares to become a mother herself, Jackson is also close with her mom, Kiya Cole, who raised the actress as a single mother.
