Skai Jackson has announced that she’s given birth to her first child, Kasai. She has not confirmed details regarding the baby’s gender or exact birthday.
The birth announcement showed the actress holding her baby’s hands as they wore matching green outfits.
Jackson announced her pregnancy back in November without sharing details about her boyfriend and the father of the baby. She did gush to PEOPLE about how she felt to be entering her “new chapter of life.”
“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects,” she explained. “My heart is so full!”
The former Disney Channel star also spoke on fundamental things her mother, Kiya Cole, instilled in her in preparation.
“[My mom] always taught me to stand up for myself, stand up for what I believe in and fight for what is right,” she shared. “I thank her for that because without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now.”
Kasai’s birth comes five months after Jackson was arrested for domestic battery. She was booked at Universal Studios California in August after surveillance footage caught Jackson allegedly pushing the victim. She wasn’t detained for long and the Los Angeles County D.A.’s office declined to file charges against her.
“Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding,” Jackson’s rep said in a statement following the incident. ”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.”
