Skai Jackson, known for her roles in Disney Channel’s Jessie and Bunk’d, recently welcomed her first child over the weekend. However, the baby’s father, Deondre Burgin, was not present as he is currently incarcerated.
Burgin has been serving a 90-day sentence at Hamilton County Jail in Ohio since November for violating parole from a previous case involving theft and weapon possession during his time as a juvenile.
Despite his absence, sources close to Skai shared that she is overjoyed with the arrival of her baby boy, named Kasai, who is reported to be healthy. Skai is said to be “determined to be the best mother and role model,” according to a family insider.
Burgin is expected to be released in February, assuming no complications arise, which would allow him to meet his son. It remains uncertain whether Skai and Burgin will maintain a positive relationship moving forward.
The couple’s past has been marked by tension. In August, Skai was arrested for alleged domestic battery after an altercation in Los Angeles, where she reportedly pushed Burgin. However, the case was dropped by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office after Burgin showed no visible injuries and declined to cooperate with investigators.
As Skai embraces motherhood, she is focused on balancing her personal life with her career, ready to face the challenges of being a working mom.
