“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” exclaimed the 22-year-old.

Rumors of the former child actress being pregnant began to circulate after she was arrested on misdemeanor charges in August 2024 for alleged domestic violence. The charges were eventually dropped.

Jackson is set to star in The Man in the White Van, due in theaters on Dec. 13. The film is a horror-thriller from director Warren Skeels, and loosely based on a true story exploring the story of a family town in Florida in 1974, where an ominous white van stalks a young girl and her parents.
