Calling all "Jessie" fans! The youngest of the Ross clan is going to be a mom.
Skai Jackson, who played Zuri Ross on the Disney Channel sitcom starring Debby Ryan, revealed she is pregnant with her first child in a statement to People magazine published Tuesday.
Jackson, 22, is expecting with her boyfriend, who has not been publicly identified.
"I'm thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects," Jackson told the outlet. "My heart is so full!"
Jackson's pregnancy follows the actress's recent brush with the law. Jackson was arrested on Aug. 9 on suspicion of domestic battery, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to USA TODAY at the time. The former child star was apprehended during an outing at Universal Studios Hollywood after it was determined she was "the primary aggressor" in the domestic incident.

Security personnel from Universal Studios reportedly alerted police after witnessing Jackson push her boyfriend more than once, according to TMZ. Authorities subsequently reviewed surveillance footage from the L.A. theme park, which allegedly showed Jackson pushing the unidentified victim, per People magazine and the Los Angeles Times.
No injuries were reported following the altercation, the LASD spokesperson told USA TODAY. Jackson was taken to LASD's West Hollywood station for booking and was released a few hours later.

In a 2023 interview with People magazine, Jackson reflected that being a role model comes with "a lot of pressure," telling the magazine, "At the end of the day, I look at myself as the regular person that people just happen to like or enjoy."
"It's very important for me to put out the right message, be positive at all times and give my fans great advice," Jackson added. "Let them know that anything that they want to do in life, they can achieve it."
Jackson's latest role was an appearance in the 2023 thriller "The Man in the White Van," directed by Warren Skeels.
