Skai Jackson Embraces New Mom Life: “He’s Giving Me a Run for My Money!”
Disney Channel star Skai Jackson is diving into the territory of motherhood with all the enthusiasm of a kid at a theme park. After birthing her first child, Kasai, back in January, the 22-year-old expressed just how “amazing” the whole experience has been during her glamorous appearance at the 56th NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors. We all know how daunting the new mom life can be, but Jackson is rising to the challenge, saying that this new chapter has been “so positive” (People Magazine).
Her social media game is strong, too! Initially announcing the arrival of baby Kasai with an adorable Instagram post featuring her holding his tiny hands, she’s since been all about sharing those sweet mommy moments (Instagram). “I’m already missing my baby,” she said, adding more fuel to our hearts (because who doesn’t love a doting mama?).
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; Jackson did throw in a cheeky line about the challenges. “He’s definitely giving me a run for my money,” she joked, highlighting how her big baby loves to eat—who can blame him, really? New parents can relate; navigating this journey isn’t exactly a walk in the park. According to parenting experts, it’s common for first-time moms to feel overwhelmed, but what’s crucial is that support system, and Jackson definitely seems to have hers intact.
Beyond the parenting gig, Skai Jackson has had quite the thriving career, known for her roles in “Jessie” and its spinoff, “Bunk’d.” She carved out a niche not just in acting but also as an author, releasing her book “Reach for the Skai” at age 19. She’s not slowing down, either; she’s recently appeared in the thriller “The Man in the White Van” and is looking forward to more acting opportunities as she balances this rewarding new job as a mom. The lessons learned along the way? Apart from the usual diaper changes, she’s discovered newfound self-confidence and resilience. “I feel like now I can just do anything,” she said—talk about a glow-up!
So, whether she’s on a red carpet or sharing cute baby outfits on IG, it’s clear that Skai Jackson’s journey as a new mom is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see what comes next for this bustling superstar!
