Skai Jackson’s Motherhood Milestones: From Baby Kasai to Career Comeback
Newly minted mom Skai Jackson is soaking in every moment of motherhood with her adorable baby boy, Kasai, born earlier this year. The former Disney Channel star, best known for her role on *Jessie*, recently opened up on the red carpet at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood event about her favorite parts of this wild ride into parenthood. “Just seeing my baby every day is amazing,” the 22-year-old gushed, noting that watching Kasai grow is both exhilarating and emotional.
Despite the sleepless nights and challenges of balancing a burgeoning career, Skai feels empowered by her new role. In her candid conversation, she shared, “I’ve learned just how strong I am in this process of being a young mom.” And for those wondering how she juggles it all—her new baby, red-carpet appearances, and hosting gigs—she credits her strong support system. As the star reveals, “I have a lot of support and help…so I’m able to balance both” motherhood and her demanding career.
Skai’s journey into motherhood is not without her role model—her own mom, Kiya Cole. Reflecting on her inspiration, Skai says, “She has inspired me so much…seeing everything she did for me to get me here.” Kiya made significant sacrifices for her daughter, quitting her job to manage Skai’s budding career, taking her from small modeling jobs to her breakout role on *Jessie*. It seems like the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, as Skai is already incorporating her mom’s lessons into her parenting style.
As she reclaims her spot in Hollywood, Skai is excited to share her upcoming projects. “I’m just ready to get back to work and show everyone what I’ve been working on,” she quipped. Skai isn’t the only star who’s dived into motherhood recently—as she gears up for new ventures, fellow celebs like Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, and Ben Higgins from *The Bachelor*, have also shared their parenting journeys within the same timeframe, showcasing the trend of new moms in Hollywood during this whirlwind of 2023.
With many young Hollywood icons embracing motherhood and balancing it with fierce careers, Skai’s journey highlights a new wave of modern moms who are redefining success in both their personal and professional lives.
