Congratulations are in order this week as actress Skai Jackson announced she’s expecting her first child with her boyfriend! The Jessie co-star revealed her secret November 12th to People in an exclusive statement saying:
“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!”
Jackson, 22, has yet to mention the name of her boyfriend/baby daddy. Which leaves the masses wondering…
Who is Skai Jackson’s boyfriend?
Jackson has been seen with a man by the alias of “Yerkky Yerkky”. His real name has yet to be identified. Yerkky Yerkky is from Cincinnati, OH and believed to be around the same age as Jackson.
The public got first glimpses of Yerk early 2024 when Skai Jackson began posting him on her Snapchat.
We were then reminded of their “budding” romance when Jackson was arrested back in August for domestic violence. She was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery, cited, and released hours later. Late October, the couple was spotted again appearing to be in a heated argument— weeks before she makes her public announcement.
The same morning of Jackson’s pregnancy exclusive with People, her alleged bae is caught with a post-and-delete status on Facebook. Social media swarmed the page, confirming Yerkky Yerkky is in fact Skai Jackson’s baby daddy. Shortly after deleting, he then posted two glowing photos of Jackson and her belly with heart emojis.
Blogger Tasha K got a hold of the screenshot, which prompted Jackson and her mom Kiya Cole to jump in to defend him. Skai’s comment reads, “His page was hacked! He never said this. End of story.” Mom chimed in with, “He never said this! Stop being messy!”
Little is known about their relationship outside of the public oopsies, but it looks like Skai is sticking by her man and raising a family!
Skai Jackson’s next project is the feature film The Man in the White Van, which will be in theaters on December 13th.
