Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson welcomes her first baby, shares pic

Skai Jackson has welcomed her first child.

The Disney Channel alum, 22, confirmed the news Sunday in an Instagram post, which appeared to show her holding the little one, who wore a green-and-black plaid onesie with matching socks. The post did not specify whether the child is a boy or a girl, but Jackson's caption suggested the baby's name is Kasai.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Jackson for additional information.

Jackson previously confirmed to People magazine in November that she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend, who has not been publicly identified.

"I'm thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life − embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects," she said at the time. "My heart is so full!"

In 2020, Jackson was a contestant on the 29th season of "Dancing With the Stars." She most recently starred in the thriller movie "The Man in the White Van."

In a TikTok posted on Sunday, taken while Jackson was still pregnant, she showed the process of packing her bag for the hospital while preparing for her delivery.

"It's big and filled up, and I'll see you guys when I have my baby," she said after completing the packing.

The actress received a flood of supportive comments on Sunday from fans and famous friends, with Keke Palmer, also a former child star, reacting with a series of heart eyes emojis.

Jackson previously made headlines last August she when she was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery after an altercation with her boyfriend. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times that "based on the initial investigation, it was determined Ms. Jackson was the primary aggressor" in the incident. No injuries were reported, and Jackson was ultimately not charged.

"Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding," a representative for the actress told People in September. "We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her."
