Skai Jackson knew from a young age she wanted to be in the public eye, but there are still some things the 22-year-old would rather keep private. Since the summer, she’s been surrounded by controversy following a public spat with her boyfriend that led to an arrest, as well as talk of a potential pregnancy. Jackson is no stranger to joking about being with child (last October she told fans she was seven months along before clarifying it was only with a food baby), but this time, it doesn’t seem like the black-haired beauty is kidding.

22-Year-Old Was Photographed With an Apparent Baby Bump This Month

As The Shade Room reports, earlier this month paparazzi caught Skai Jackson in a Los Angeles, Northridge-area parking lot wearing an oversized shacket, pajama shorts, a bright bonnet and matching slippers. It didn’t seem like the young starlet was expecting to be photographed, but some of the images captured by Backgrid tellingly show Jackson resting her hand above her stomach, outlined by a small tank top.

Just a week ago, the Jessie star was posted up on Melrose Avenue, enjoying an “early lunch” in the city. Her petite frame is mostly hidden under an oversized black outfit in the images, but there are no other obvious signs of pregnancy coming from Jackson’s social media posts at this time.

She’s Got a New Movie Coming Out in December

Rather than address conversations unfolding about her in the press, Skai Jackson is using this moment to promote her upcoming movie, The Man in the White Van. “Set in 1974 in Florida, this true-crime, Hitchcockian thriller about an ominous white van that begins stalking a young girl leads to a terrifying Halloween nightmare,” the synopsis reads. Jackson plays Patty, acting alongside Madison Wolfe, Brec Bassinger and Brooke Hyland. It’s due out on Dec. 13, and ahead of time, the New York native has been proudly spreading the word to her followers.

Actress Was Arrested After a Dispute With Her Boyfriend This Summer

As mentioned, Jackson was arrested for domestic battery back in August after a heated disagreement with her boyfriend at CityWalk in California. At the time, TMZ reported that law enforcement sources confirmed the 22-year-old arresting officers she was “happily engaged and expecting a baby” with her partner. Nevertheless, when cameras showed the physical altercation between them, they still arrested her and kept the actress in jail for “a few hours” on misdemeanor charges. The next month, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office dropped all charges, People reports.

What Is Skai Jackson’s Net Worth?

It’s unclear when the report was last updated, but Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Jackson is valued at $500,000. The entertainer got her start as a child model and commercial actress, but since 2007 she’s been steadily occupying more space in the spotlight on Disney and in other areas. If she is expecting her first child, Jackson’s little one is guaranteed to have great style (and maybe even acting skills too), just like her!
