Pregnant Skai Jackson is showing of her growing baby bump alongside her adorable dogs, whom she lovingly calls her “kids.”
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the actress posted some snaps with the caption, “Me and my Rich & Expensive kids.”
Earlier this month, Skai officially announced her pregnancy, sharing her excitement about this new chapter with her boyfriend, Deondre Burgin, better known as “Yerkky Yerkky.”
“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 former Jessie and Bunk’d star also reflected on the challenges of being a role model while being in the public eye. “At the end of the day, I look at myself as the regular person that people just happen to like or enjoy,” she said.
Using her platform for good remains a top priority for the 22-year-old. “It’s very important for me to put out the right message, be positive at all times and give my fans great advice,” she added. “Let them know that anything that they want to do in life, they can achieve it.”
While Skai has yet to reveal her baby’s due date or gender, fans are convinced she’s expecting a girl. A viral video showing the actress indulging in a variety of sweet treats has sparked speculation.
The clip features Skai digging into fluffy pancakes topped with caramelized bananas, a dish she admitted is outside her comfort zone. “Usually, I don’t like any type of cooked fruit,” she shared. “I don’t like pancakes because it’s too sweet.”
Another scene captures her trying Trader Joe’s jalapeño strawberry crisps with spicy sauce. “Usually, I do not like stuff like this,” she confessed. “I do not like sweet and spicy—especially like fruit ans something spicy. That just seems weird to me.”
Fans were quick to draw conclusions. “She’s having a girl. She’s craving sweets,” one follower commented
According to pregnancy folklore, cravings for sweets, creamy, and fatty foods may point to a baby girl. While science doesn’t back this theory, some experts believe cravings can signal specific nutrient needs.
Still, Skai seems to have that covered, recently speaking on the benefits of beef organ supplements in her diet.
