Well, Disney Channel graduates keep leveling up, and this time, it’s Skai Jackson stealing the spotlight—because guess what? She’s now officially a mom! Cue the confetti cannons and baby rattles.
At just 22 years old, Skai welcomed her first mini-me into the world, and the internet is already obsessed. The announcement came via Instagram (because where else do major life updates happen these days?) on Sunday, January 26. Skai posted a picture of her newborn, adorably wrapped in a flannel onesie and already serving cozy vibes. The baby’s tiny hand clung to Skai’s finger like, “Hey world, I’m here to stay!” She simply captioned it:
“Kasai 🧸🤎”
Yes, the teddy bear emoji is a mandatory mood.
Now, let’s rewind: Skai had officially announced her pregnancy back in November 2024. (As if we weren’t all suspicious before that!) The baby’s father is reportedly her boyfriend Deondre Burgin—a.k.a. Yerkky Yerkky on social media. Yes, you read that right. No, I don’t know how to pronounce it either.
Of course, celebrities came through in the comment section. Keke Palmer dropped a casual “😍😍😍😍” because emojis speak louder than words. Meanwhile, JT added a sweet, “Congratulations baby girl💕💕💕💕.” Translation: the internet aunties are already lining up.
But, wait, let’s spill the tea. Skai’s pregnancy was a hot topic before she officially confirmed it, thanks to a whirlwind of drama. Apparently, Skai and Deondre had some legal trouble brewing last summer. Rumors were flying faster than a Disney Channel wand wave about her expecting. And then—plot twist—Deondre got arrested in Cincinnati in November 2024. The reason? A faceoff with police over a juvenile parole violation warrant. TMZ reported it like the drama correspondents they are.
Despite all the chaos, Skai is now stepping into motherhood with grace (and hopefully, a lot of coffee). Welcome to the world, baby Kasai! If your first onesie game is anything to go by, you’re already cooler than most of us.
