Congratulations are in order for Skai Jackson! The former Disney actress has announced the birth of her first child with partner Deondre Burgin.
Moments ago, the 22-year-old shared a picture of her cradling the hands of the newborn.
Skai Jackson is a mom!
The former Disney star, 22, has welcomed her first baby with her boyfriend, whom she has not publicly identified. Jackson revealed that the baby’s name is Kasai.
Jackson revealed the exciting news through an Instagram post shared on Sunday, Jan. 26.
Alongside a photograph of herself holding her newborn baby’s hands, the actress seemingly revealed her child’s name, as she wrote in her caption, “Kasai 🧸🤎.”
No other details, including the baby’s sex or birthdate, have been shared.
However, mother and child are confirmed to be doing well.
Jackson trumpeted news of her pregnancy last November and gushed “I’m thrilled.’
A huge congratulations!
“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 told PEOPLE at the time.
In recent years, the star, who is best known for playing Zuri Ross on Jessie and its spinoff Bunk’d, released her book, Reach for the Skai: How to Inspire, Empower and Clapback in 2019 and appeared on Dancing With the Stars in 2020.
While she was preparing to become a mother, Jackson bonded with her mom, Kiya Cole, who raised the actress as a single mother.
“[My mom] always taught me to stand up for myself, stand up for what I believe in and fight for what is right,” she told PEOPLE in February 2023. “I thank her for that because without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now.”
