Skai Jackson’s official pregnancy announcement has been surrounded by controversy and concerns from fans. After months of speculation, the former Disney star confirmed she is expecting her first child.

“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” she told People.

The 22-year-old has kept her boyfriend’s identity private, although she has posted several photographs of him on Snapchat.

Who is Skai Jackson’s boyfriend

Her partner goes by the name Yerkky Yerkky on social media. He has a following of over 20,000 people on Facebook, where he appears to be most active, as well as Instagram. Jackson confirmed she had a boyfriend in a now-deleted video in Dec. 2023, according to Capital Xtra.

Jackson’s boyfriend recently went viral for a Nov. 13 appearance on Facebook Live, where he seemingly reacted to fans comparing him to the late actor Cameron Boyce.

Here’s what he seemed to say about Cameron Boyce

“Y’all, stop comparing me to a dead n**ga though. The f*ck, is y’all cool? Like what the f*ck, is y’all cool? Y’all keep comparing me to a n**ga that’s dead,” he said.

Boyce was Jackson’s co-star in the Disney’s Jessie. He was 20 years old when he died of an epileptic seizure in July 2019. Jackson and Boyce maintained a friendship for many years.
