Did skai Jackson have her baby? That’s what fans are wondering after the actress recently posted a “I had my baby” in her Snapchat stories.
In the post, the 22-year-old actress is seen holding an infant, sparking speculation. But before anyone could say “congratulations,” Jackson clarified that the baby is actually her cousin’s—and the photo was taken more than a year ago.
Jackson, who is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Deondre Burgin, better known as rapper “Yerkky Yerkky,” is very much still pregnant. Yesterday, she shared a “get ready with me” on Snapchat, prepping for a routine doctor’s visit. Her belly was on full display as she flaunted a casual gray outfit.
Last week, Jackson turned heads on the premiere for her new film Man in the White Van, making the red carpet debut of her baby bump in a stunning, glamorous look.
Jackson’s pregnancy hasn’t been without its hurdles. The actress has been open about her battle with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe pregnancy complication characterized by extreme nausea and vomiting.
“Every single day I’m in pain,” Jackson revealed in a recent Snapchat post. “I’ve been sick my entire pregnancy! Throwing up and all that, but I’ll speak more about it in the future.”
The condition has taken a toll, often leaving Jackson reliant on IV treatments to manage her dehydration and nausea. She’s also faced food aversions, which have made protein shakes a vital part of her diet. “I drink them because certain foods I just can’t eat. I’ll throw them up,” she explained.
Despite the difficulties, Jackson is embracing the highs and lows of her pregnancy journey. As fans eagerly await updates, the actress remains focused on her health and the arrival of her little one.
In her own words: “Hyperemesis is truly the worst, and I don’t wish this on anyone.”
