Skai Jackson is taking on a new role.
The former Disney Channel star, 22, announced she is pregnant and expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, whose identity has yet to be revealed.
“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 People in a new interview published Tuesday.
The “Jessie” alum’s pregnancy first came to light in August after she was arrested for domestic battery.
Jackson allegedly got into an altercation with her partner at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, Calif., at the time.
She pushed her significant other, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, but was not charged.
“Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding,” her rep told People.

“We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind,” the spokesperson continued. “Skai looks forward to putting this behind her.”
Sources close to the couple, who denied getting into a physical fight, told TMZ that they were engaged and expecting a child.
While the “Bunk’d” alum kept her budding belly off of social media, the pregnant star was spotted in a Los Angeles parking lot in October (via the Shade Room).
The expectant star kept her stomach covered in an oversized flannel shirt over a white tank and gray shorts.
Jackson is best known for her time on Disney Channel from 2011 to 2018, going on to do voice acting for “Marvel Rising” and “DreamWorks Dragons: Rescue Riders.”
The “Sheroes” star competed on “Dancing With the Stars” on Season 29 in 2020, placing fifth.
